      Waiting for the new Swift Sport hybrid, I have one from 2019 and want to check out the difference. Greetings from Germany 🤘🏻

      I have this car, but with manual gearbox. I love it and in mixed I do 17,3 km/l

    Great car for the money. Not as refined as other cars in this class but great for towns and occasional long distance. Suspension is quite hard but its great on country roads. I have never had to raise an ice scraper to it as it defrost itself completely ( all windows and mirrors) in about 3 mins. After doing 50,000 miles in my 2018 1L swift the average milage is 47.5 mpg (49mpg when new). I would buy another one.

      @DamoDrives  Před 3 lety +1

      They are good value for money, i know they have increased in cost but so has the amount of tech as well. Yes they are a little firmer but not that much and it does make for a more enjoyable drive on back roads

      50,000 miles and not one issue. Let's see what happens after the 60,000 warranty runs out! I use mine to teach people to drive and it's standing up to the punishment really well. Mine is a 1l engine and does about 48mpg

      Great little cars , worth taking 1 for a test drive and see what you think. I am not sure which country and where you would be buying the car but in the UK there seems to be a few deals about. Hope you enjoyed the video and some of the other content on the channel.

    I had one if those with the cracking one litre turbo non hybrid engine. Just a very quick little runaround great fun and practical too. Sadly they stopped the one litre for the less powerful one you have there. Emissions etc.

    • @DamoDrives

    • @howardbowen-RC-Pilot
      @howardbowen-RC-Pilot Před 2 lety +1

      Yeah the sport is a cracking motor but with the 1litre turbo you got 90pct of the fun for 70pct of the cost. 0 to 60 and top end pretty much the same as the Vitara S. Quick enough for an old guy like me.

    What would you recommend to change the hybrid 2020 1.2 timing chain on my suzuki swift as ive lost the handbook for services ive done 41000 miles so far...Its driving fine at the moment. 👍

    • @assaulter99

    Hello, im looking at a 2nd hand model 2020, but have read about paint chipping issues on these models, esp red ones.

    • @DamoDrives
      @DamoDrives  Před 3 lety +2

      I only had the car for the day so I could not tel you about issue on long term ownership. I would suggest joining a Facebook group about the swift and ask the question there. sorry I could not be any more help

    • @richardjelley3074
      @richardjelley3074 Před 3 lety +3

      The paintwork does chip easily. My swift has done 50,000 miles and it has more chips than any car I have previously owned at this mileage. Having said that, I love my swift both for my personal use and in my professional role as a driving instructor. It's very easy to drive and stands up to all the rigours of novice drivers. Not great on the motorway but adequate. Great town car, fantastic turning circle and very nippy. My favourite roads to take it on are the windy country lanes, it loves corners. You won't find a better car for the money. The service plan is a bit odd, every 12,500 Miles but every service is different. Different costs, different stuff that gets changed, I don't understand it but no doubt it works because nothing seems to go wrong, so far anyway!

    • @DamoDrives
      @DamoDrives  Před 3 lety +1

      Suzuki as a brand is know for its reliability, strange about the paint chipping.

    The man is on the A27 . Interior looks a bit basic and cheapo to me , and starts at 14k now, though I'm sure discounts available. Could be a new scrappage scheme in the new year

    • @DamoDrives
      @DamoDrives  Před rokem

      It is a hybrid assist rather than a PHEV or full hybrid so you cannot choose. It will come in to help with a bit of acceleration and pulling away.

    • @matthewmorrall224
      @matthewmorrall224 Před rokem

      It's not a full hybrid, it's a mild hybrid. It only uses battery power when Pulling off and in stop/start traffic. It will help with MPG

    • @JH-we9rx
      @JH-we9rx Před rokem

      Hi Tomy .The fuel saved in millilitres ( ml ) is only measuring the savings with the engine Stop / Stsrt system which turns off car at traffic lights .For some very strange reason the stop/start system doesn’t work in Swift's if you select the windscreen demist function . So make sure fan is blowing air towards you or your feet but not windscreen and you should see the (tiny !)savings start
