Amazing car - never had any issues!

published

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.

Great car exceptional bad service from Suzuki

published

Start of 2011 the car started to have a intermitted problem loosing electric power when driving. Yes no light, no break light, no windscreen wipers, and indicators no speed and petrol instrument and so on simple nothing in need of electricity is working.
The electricity is coming back after 5 – 10 seconds this is a long time of nothing when you driving!!
Suzuki Australian is not responding of warranty claims, telling me get the car into a dealer and bring a minimum of 500 with you in case we can’t find any problem.
Still waiting of the warranty department to come back to me with a solution (response to a registered letter) which Suzuki got on the 24th September 2015.

swifts great cars

published

2006 manual 1500 glxi version. I service wife's car. I am no mechanic but do oil,filters and plugs. All easy to do it just clocked 185,000 klms. It had a recall on leaky shocks front and a rear wheel bearing but otherwise faultless. I am going to see if I can get 300,000klms +. It runs like new so I am confident mechanics hate swifts because they don't fail. Swifts are cheap and so items like carpets & fabrics are the trade off also care required when jacking rear axle with a trolley jack can bend the axle use the provided jack only.

Great small car would recommend to anyone!

published

We purchased a 2010 Suzuki Swift RE4 in Electric Green, good for finding in the carparks. The Swift fulfils all our requirements in a small 'everyday' run-about economical easy to park and when needed to get-up and go anything over 3000 RPM and it lights up and really gets going, use the revs, it loves them coming from the builders of motor bikes what would you expect. No warranty claims but do keep up the service as new oil is what makes them last

Cannot Fault it

published

I really love my little suzi! I bought her in 2007 and have not had a single problem with her to date! It is 2007 Swift S. I really think the ride is better than the cars that were around in '07 especially the Mazda 2 and the Hyundais of the time. It is a perfect first car! It rides well, good visability, easy to drive, great turning circle, and the list goes on!
a great first car, anyone can jump in and drive it
sometimes you can scrape on a big speed bumb if you are a inexpericned driver

Excellent 2 Person Car

published

We purchased this car new in 2007. It is a 1500cc automatic. The room in the front seats is very spacious and on the odd accaision we have a rear seat passenger there is sufficient room for short trips. This car is serviced regularly and has not missed a beat from new.
The reliability, and fuel economy.
Rear seat room is limited but remember this is a small car.

Good apart from brakes, etc

published

From day 1 brakes grabbed - the slightest brake application and you almost went through the window. Very hard to be smooth in braking. Went back to dealer who adjusted rear brakes to spec and made no difference. He said he had another Swift with the same issue. Also, window washer lines continually clog up and the washer works either intermittently or not at all. The roof would have the thinnest metal I have experienced in a car. Readily damaged in the lightest hail storm.
Great design and look, good economy 13.8kms/lt (7.3lt/100km) - suburban driving, good handling
Touchy brakes, washer lines clog regularly, very thin metal on roof

Love my swifty

published

I love my Suzuki swift. It handles great and is cheap to run. I was annoyed when a month out of warranty my car just stopped working. It was something to do with the connection to the petrol tank. It was cheap to fix though. Kinda disappointing though because they have a reputation for reliability.
Handling, economical, style
Mechanical problem one month out of warranty. First and only problem so far that was easily fixed.

2009 LE Suzuki Swift

published

I had a 2009 suzuki swift. (purchased new). It was extremely reliable and ran without a hitch. Great on petrol. Would cost around $45 to fill and I would get about 500km per tank. (mainly suburban driving). It look me from perth to melbourne for $360 in fuel. It is not very spacious. I wouldnt recommend it as a family car. Great to use for everyday commuting though.
Inexpensive to run, GREAT on safety!!
Very expensive for parts

I have had mine for 3 years now. I bought it brand new and have never had any trouble with it. Yes, for all the cynics out there, I am a 20 something woman and I like it cos it looks good. Who cares!! You get what you pay for, if you are expecting a Porsche style ride out of a Suzuki you are setting yourself up to be disappointed!
Cheap to run, fun to drive.
Wish it had an ipod dock.

You can buy an Ipod Interface from Suzuki for the Swift for about $200

Would highly recommend this car to anyone, gives me so much enjoyment, shop around and you will get a dealer to do a good deal on one, has standard inclusions that you will pay for dearly on other car makes
What a fantastic little machine this is, zippy,fuel economy,great fun to drive
think i will have to get optional Cruise control as speed can get away on you at times

Swift RS415 (2005-2010)

I connected my wife’s mob to the our car’s wifi, but now my phone doesn’t work. Does the system only allow one phone connection at a time? Is there some way I can connect my phone also (and also my son’s phone) so that we can choose a simple phone connection when we jump in the car?
Thanks
Ian
