In today's video, I get my hands on the current generation of the most underrated Supermini on the market; the Suzuki Swift Sport! The Swift is honestly in a league of it's own being small, lightweight, affordable and the ultimate tool to put a smile on your face wherever your journey takes you.
The Swift is a prime example to the original recipe of an Old School Pocket Rocket!
.... The Swift Sport is due to be replaced, so whilst we wait it definitely deserves a warm and positive goodbye to remind us why this is a mega machine and why we should be excited the future!

Are you from bosnia?
No Almin, I'm from the UK; I'm mixed between Turkish, Greek & Cypriot 😂 Thanks for watching!
Actually someone with a honest review about this gem...I owned a 2009 Suzuki swift sports...I love the way it drives. Not the fastest hatch but it's a joy
Thanks Jay, glad you enjoyed it! Great to see people are still watching to this day, appericate the feedback 👍🏼 Love the Swift Sport, an underrated hero
I love the swift. Unfortunately mine isn't the sports version. Suzuki doesn't sell that in my country (sucks). Still, the regular swift is a fun car to drive. The handling and the way it carves around corners at speed is awesome. Gets great mileage too.
They are indeed, Suzuki gave me the opportunity to try out their newest SZ5 1.0 Boosterjet, an absolute treat for the money - take a look on the PocketRockets channel 👍 Thanks for watching!
Own polo gti & swift sport 1.6 … both drive superb … different is polo endless problems from gearbox to engine… swift sports endless fun….regret buying vw….next car to go…mx-5 😀….old school formula…natural aspirated + 6sp manual + lightweight + balance chassis ….not many around nowadays .
Make sure you check out my good friend Car Obsession, he's a little obsessed with MX5s 🙈 ... He'll be able to share his time owning a few
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences 👍🏼
Great review. I've owned one of these for 14 months now. It's fantastic to drive. The handling is epic, it's faster than Suzuki say. Reviewers that have actually tested the car, rather than quoting the book figures - have got 0-60 MPH times as low as circa 7.5 seconds. From my experience, an Audi or BMW would bore me to death after driving this little pocket rocket!
MrZekToR Thank you for your kind words Sir! I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 I'd say Suzuki have nailed it on making a great 'out of the box' Hot Hatch! From price to smile factor, it wins 🙌
As you may know, I own a Focus RS and in some ways the Swift is simply better; yes I may seem mad to say that but it's honest truth.
Hoping the new one follows the same pedigree! Would be good to get a opportunity with Suzuki to drive one so stay tuned 👍
7.5 to 60 ? No chance. 134 bhp and 123 ibft. 8.7 is about right for those power figures. Needs a turbo.
@@kristianspencer1978 It doesn't need a turbo to go that fast to 60 MPH. Remember, it's all about power to weight. I now own the turbo variant of the Swift Sport. Whilst the turbo variant is much quicker in gear. For the 0 to 60 MPH dash - both cars are very similar. This video is my old 2016 Swift Sport - doing a 0 to 60. czcams.com/video/OczQ27uXScM/video.html
@@MrZekToR it’s not just 0-60 is it? Mid range , top end and in gear performance. My 208 is only 1035 kgs but has 150 bhp and 210 ibft. Only a 1.2 3 cylinder turbo. The sport is more a warm hatch than a hot one. I’d rather have a mint 90s swift gti, now that was a classic hot hatch back in the day.
@@kristianspencer1978 Yes, mid-range 'pull' is better in the turbo variant. Top speed is pointless unless you're going to use it on track. I don't think you can judge whether a hot hatch is 'warm' or 'hot' by how much power is under the bonnet. For me, it's the whole package. The Swift Sport is damn fast down any crappy 'B' road. The Swift Sport is very fast around any roundabout too. That's what makes it 'hot'. Its low weight, great handling, great brakes and the feel from behind the driver seat is what makes it hot. It's simply great fun, and plenty fast enough to annihilate any back road at speed. Those are good numbers for your 1.2 litre - 3 cylinder turbo BTW.
Love these cars, which is why I bought one six months ago. Love it! I have a youtube channel about my swift sport.
Mr DJC It's definitely a epic little machine 👍
PocketRockets can't stand the look of the new one 🙄
This is a great channel this. Subscribed mate.
Thanks Stephen! Appreciate it 👌🏼
@@PocketRockets No problem mate.
Lovely colour in lookg it's good
Pavv Mulgund Boost Blue definitely suits the car well 💯 👊🏼 .... Thanks for watching, be sure to like & subscribe for more content to come!
Can you see over that steering wheel!?😅 good video 👍
Must of done seeing as this was a 7 minute video 😂
Thanks for watching!
Better than a Ford Fiesta? Bold claim my friend. Having said that, I'm a big fan of the Swift Sport. I would have bought one if I had the chance. What I love about the Swift Sport is that it's very old school in its approach, modest performance, but great handling and drivability.
In some areas, yes it is; such as the N/A engine, simplicity and it being the bargain of the century.
As you said, it's old school and there is nothing close to it in the market!
PocketRockets Well, I can't argue with that!
I guess it just depends what you're looking for. I personally can't stand Ford's infotainment systems and I'd be extremely surprised if they can match the reliability of the Swift.
What is this car like at 70mph? Is it noisy or can it cope with short motorway journeys?
It's not too bad to be honest, the ride is on the firmer side but nothing in comparison to a Fiesta ST180, I'd say a new Swift Sport over this generation, so much more refined, grown up and much faster 👌🏼 Thanks for watching Dan!
My mum has a Suzuki swift sport 2014 white
She has good taste!
How would this stack against a Honda CRX?
Chukwu1967 That’s rather unusual but interesting question; if only Honda would allow that to happen, it would certainly provide the answer! 👍 .... Thanks for tuning in, don’t forget to like & subscribe for future videos
0-62 in how fast you reckon?
The official figure is 8.7 seconds (0-100), although people keep saying it can do it faster than that..
There's no consensus lol
All depends on your clutch and throttle skills in this department.
Most journalists reach the same conclusion at around 8.7 seconds.
The lack of forced induction finds it hard to keep up with its rivals. That's why it's one of the reasons, I'm looking forward to the new Swift Sport (Y)
How tall are you??
Dkn Dkn I’m a midget really, around 5ft 9 ish
He removed the seat
Sss are the best
Hell yeah!
I owned a sss in boost blue now for 2 years now. Love it except that it could sound nicer, bluetooth is poor and it's not that fast
Fortunately, the new Swift Sport has a far better infotainment system and thanks to its new turbo charged engine it has a better power delivery thanks to a shed load of torque!
Plus it will be open to more tuning too so a win win 💪🏼 ... Although, I was disappointed when I heard the exhaust note should of been made more sporty; but hey there is already plenty of aftermarket solutions to pick from 👀
Thanks for watching Jack!
German ride quality? Most German cars ride like you’re falling down stairs
winzfeld1 Bearing in mind, it’s the Sport variant, I’d personally say it’s pretty much the same as it’s rival in ride quality; when you’re hooning it though you hardly notice it 😈 When driving the current gen SZ5 Boosterjet the ride is a hell of a lot better 👍
Nice, but hardly a hot hatch, 8.7 to 60. And no torque. Buy a 208 gtline instead.1.2,3 cylinder ,turbo. Stage one map and ram air induction kit. 150 bhp and 210 ibft.
Yeah I understand where you're coming from Kristian, the Swift Sport is more a warm hatch when comparing it to the Fiesta ST, 208 GTI & Polo GTI
But it is still an extremely fun car to drive and miles cheaper to buy/run than the above examples so that argument can be viewed as irrelevant in my opinion
And it's unfair to compare a 208 GT Line with the Swift Sport as its naturally aspirated so no matter the competition it will be overlooked
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, appericate your time 👍🏼
@@PocketRockets u mean appreciate.👍
@@kristianspencer1978 ok.
@@kristianspencer1978proper strange bloke you are ain't ya 😂😂
@@AJ-vv9hl you obviously didn’t like what I said, but being personnel about it is just pointless.. you don’t know me do you..
