Haters gonna hate but I test drove one and now want one so bad. I love the driving position and it goes great for a dull 33 year old like me who just wants something zippy to hoon in. Maybe I’ll wait for a depreciated one on the used market.

If you're a car guy and you love it, buy it! Life is to be enjoyed and its not an expensive car when compared to others.
Maybe if I sell my NC mx5, can’t bring myself to do that though.

Fair enough, thats a good car.
How tall are you?
auto in a swift sport ? no way , I have the 2009 model , love it , hated the next model but fancy buying one of these , great 0-60 time and top end , nice to have 6 speeds that`s the only thing that was wrong with my model it screams for a higher gear when over 100mph , can`t wait to test drive the new 1.4 turbo .
dinlo biscuit I drove it in the Scross..it did very well. surprised by the way it accelerates between 100-150
Manual is where it's at for sure with a swift sport.
No doubt the Manual is fun but I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the Auto its actually pretty good this time round, certainly waaay better than the shitty CVT you could get with the previous model, and lets be honest whether you like it not the auto will easily outsell the manual anyway at least in Australia.
TheRealUnconnected . hi hn
If they sold auto in my country I’d get one. Cant drive 50k km a year with a stick with hours of traffic jams per week
Also, the 0-100 test show the automatic to be about 0,5 seconds faster
@@James-xs9mn actually it came with auto & CVT
I would buy the automatic if they actually sold it in the UK.
The UK only has manual ?
@@mikuelable yes, manual only as it should. If you want an auto this car is not really for you.
Hey PDrive, In this video you mentioned that in manual mode the gear will upshift itself! I just need to know, generally can we accelerate at least 6000rpm before change itself?
And also i need to know, is it truly quite quick when it changes?
As my last that you think, can I get nice experience with this automatic model with this paddle shifters like manual model?
Yes, we found the automatic to be surprisingly enjoyable. Definitely worth considering over the manual. And as we found out, the auto is actually quicker across 0-100km/h than the manual: czcams.com/video/uAM4opE0jIk/video.html
Currently I drive a MK5 GTI with 260hp but I´m kinda getting hooked on this little thing. I wonder how much hp you can get out of this engine additionaly.
Erik Wiedemann So it has 140hp from 1400ccm what do you thing is the max on HP that can run this little engien whitout broke after 20000 KM ?
apparently the 140 hp is a huge understatement, is 155 hp on dyno stock with a bit of luck, and 170 hp with an ecu, light intake/exhaust mods can get it to 180-190 hp, after that it seems like more serious fiddling is required. (turbo replacement etc) Do mind though that 180 hp isnt bad at all for a car that literally weighs 2/3rd a Golf does. Seems like nurburgring rentals stated that the first swift sport was bulletproof even after 330k kms of racing, so I'd say Suzuki does makes their engines rather too strong than too weak durability wise.
Swifts are underrated
Am old enough to have lusted after a swift Gti as a boy. Now there is this thing, but being older and wiser, not as enamoured. It’s not you, it’s me, Suzuki.
Has it got the low down torque the the previous model sport doesnt have?
Do the bucket seats stretch over time? Because its uncomfortable
What are them button things on the door handle? Haven’t seen them since the 80s and the early 90s.
Cool video m8
Stickers are ALWAYS tacky.

Person 1: "Yes I do drive an automatic".
Person 2: "Oh, I didn't realize you were a homosexual."
0-100 / 8,1 sec
Anti Lavado More like 7.5. Could be as low as 7.2. I have this new Sport and had the previous Model. This new Model is miles quicker. Previous Model was around 8.5, 0-100
vitara has 8.1 but it's a crossover with the same 1.4 turbo. swift has 7-7.5
Gavin Wooster manual says 8.9 and 8.7 for the facelift. new model?
Tom S PDTV just tested new Model 0-100. They recorded 7.39 for the manual and 7.01 for the Auto. The old ZC32s Sports were in the mid 8s.
Gavin Wooster Suzuki for some reason are very modest with there 0-62 times in there cars.....
Vitara S 138bhp
Claimed 0-62 10.1 seconds
Tested 0-62 8.1 seconds
Suzuki Swift 1.2 94bhp 2012
Claimed 0-62 12.4 seconds
Tested 0-62 10.7 seconds
Suzuki Swift Sport 136bhp 2012
Claimed 0-62 8.7 seconds
Tested 0-62 7.9 seconds
And now confirmed by this very channel.
Swift Sport 140hp 2018
Claimed 0-62 8.1 seconds
Tested 0-62 7.3 Manual 7.01 Automatic.
I don't know why they do it but for some reason they just do.... maybe it's to help our insurance premiums :)
This is ugly... Swift GTi is the king
Swift GTI is outdated, this if faster, lighter and far better looking.
Sport? Hahahaha.
what about it isn't Sport?
i think its mostly the yellow color
Hans Vogel You can have a lot of fun even if your car doesn't have a million hp
daarom is het geen gti hans maar kan je verzekeren dat een swift in sportvorm vanaf 1986 tot nu op een circuit of bochtige wegen alles laat verbazen. de 0-100 is ook best aardig lijkt me.
English plz...
