15 years - not a single problem
Had my Swift for 15 years. Japanese build, one of the first cars after the famous redesign in 2004. No repairs, zero problems. Just service, fuel, wash and go. Wouldn't even swap it for a new one. Love the old reliable mechanical controls and buttons that can be operated without looking and don't fail, not like new cars with all the flimsy electronics. Hopefully this car goes for another 15 years, will gladly drive it for that long and beyond.
Purchased in September 2021.

Love my baby car
I had been searching for a new car for ages when I was contacted by Brian Hilton at Wyong. Thanks to Frank and Courtney, I drive away in my little baby car ad I love it. I got a terrific deal and a much better trade in on the daggy old Mitsubishi ii had . I grateful for the help the guys gave me. I'm happy to recommend this company

Never skipped a beat this car.
I like the performance of this little car, its zippy in traffic & good for short commutes to work & back. The interior suits me as I am short, but my dad is a big man & he has enough headroom to fit in the front passenger seat comfortably for short 30min trips around the area. It also runs on E10, so I can save a few cents a litre when I fill up. The running costs are very good, I treat the car well & have not had to have a major repair in 10 years. The insurance is cheap as it does not have a huge engine. The fuel economy is really good.

Great little car
My Swift is running at 235,000km and counting. My dog fits in perfectly with one side of the split back seat down. Love the fuel economy, currently 15.4km per L which is better than when I first got it. Only issue is visibility not the best when merging left, rear pillar is in the way.

A great all round car, fun and comfy
What a great little car, I replaced my 92 Charade with a 2007 Swift, two absolute pearler cars but the Suzi is very good, with its timing chain motor there's no pesky belt to change, we have 150k on the clock, still running sweet as, just did a major service, like new now, handles well, they are a winner car

Love this car!
An excellent little car. I've had it for a few years now and never had any serious issues. The one annoying thing is that the AC does make a screechy noise when I turn the car on but overall I have loved it. Low running costs, good performance and affordable.

Handles well, much roomier than you'd think
Very reliable, practical car for the city. I've had no mechanical issues after 12 years of owning it. The seats are quite high so easy to get in and out, and the interior is surprisingly spacious, partly due to the 'boxy' shape creating plenty of headroom. Runs smoothly and gear-stick has a nice solid feel.

Perfect car
The best car ever, it uses barely any petrol and is nice and small so parking is extremely easy to find anywhere! The hatchback is great for groceries and larger things, being able to put the back seat down increases the space hugely so you wont have any trouble driving boxed furniture home.

GREAT FIRST CAR
Great small car that’s reliable and easy to drive! This is my first car that I practiced in and drove throughout my green Ps. Though it isn’t as strong in terms of acceleration due to the small engine, it makes up for convenience in driving and parking due to its small size. There is more room than you expect in the front seats but the backseat and boot are relatively smaller.

fantastic car
I have been really happy with this used swift. The fuel economy is impressive. The car is spacious interiorly by small hatchback standard. Most importantly, it didnt give me any issues for 3 months since my purchase. Servicing cost is quite cheap and insurance is low to mid range! I absolutely like this car!

Great little economic car
What a great little car.
Might be a little plain on the inside but the Swift does what it does very well. It's comfortable with generous legroom for a car of its size. Boot space is of course quite limited - you'll struggle to fit a stroller in the back.
One things that is great for this car is the matching of the gearbox to the engine. This car is zippy!
Reliability is great and after sales support is great too.

Super fun...like a go-kart!
Had my Swift for 12 years now...this car is my favourite of all the cars I've owned. It's reliable, safe, economical and the little go-kart like Swift, in auto, makes this car so much fun to drive! Highly recommend the Swift, and by the sheer volume of MK5 series still on the road, you know they're mechanically on point.

A great, reliable everyday runabout with lots of boot/backseat space!
Put 70,000km on ours with my wife in the last ~4-5 years. Parts are cheap, the car runs very reliably. My only gripes would be a lack of options (although that's pretty much always the case with the budget hatches) and the fuel economy (we average 7 L/100km, which I feel could be a little lower given the 1.5L engine).
Other than that it's great. We've taken it on light 4WD tracks (by accident!), long trips (~700km), and city driving. We've done highways, freeways, laneways, streets, dirt tracks, and everything in between, and it's never missed...Read more

Love love love this car
I have owned a lot of cars in almost 50 years of driving and this is my favourite. Nimble, sporty handling, 600km+ to a 40L tank, comfortable for a 180cm man even with low profile tyres and lowered springs. The Swift is a little gem and I will be sad to trade it on a 4wd at the end of this year but about the only thing it won't do is tow a caravan. 15000km service intervals make it even more economical.

2010 Suzuki Swift.
I have the RE4 model and I only like sporty RE4 in swift range 2010 and above as it has proximity key option, key less start and side mirrors.
There are lots of small cars around and very competitive.
I found this a best choice compered to my previous Ford Falcon FG LPG and Ford Focus.
Its a Go car, & this is what I was looking for. you wont find these cheaper because swift is iconic brand like corolla.

Love love love
I love my little swift. I have a 2008 Suzuki Swift. It was bought second hand as my first car. I learnt how to drive a manual in it. Being a small car, it was really great to learn in especially parking wise. Really reliable car, great on fuel. I drive 40 minutes to and from work 5 days a week and I only need to fill up the tank every 2 1/2 weeks. Overall, a fantastic car!

Fun
Owned a Jap import Sport for 2 years and ran it from 15000km up to 50,000km. Apart from a sticking windshield wiper it was 100% reliable. Averaged 36 MPG. Ride on the firm side but never unbearable. Tow bar fitted & it hauled moderate loads easily. Fun to drive. Reasonably large turning circle was minor issue in some urban circumstances but not a show stopper. In terms of specification it had everything you needed and nothing you didn't want. Later models with steering wheel mounted controls, better connectivity and cruise control possibly worth considering. Lack of spare tyre may turn off some - it runs a repair kit instead. Consider buying a space saver wheel and throwing that in the boot. I'd happily buy another.

Amazing car - never had any issues!
I own a 2009 RE4. It's such a good looking, zippy vehicle - so easy to own and cheap to service and maintain. It drives really well and is fuel efficient. I only drive on weekends (on both days) so the $50 tank lasts me over a month and a half. Extremely economical!! The build is great and also has enough power for me to do what I want.
The handling is smooth and acceleration is fast.
