Nice little car. I bought this because of the affordability factor. I was buying a house at the same time hence did not want to spend too much on the car. Swift was recommended by a friend of mine and we are still friends!
It is a fun to drive car, very easy on petrol and spacious enough for a small family of 4 including kids. We take it for shopping, to drive to the city, to country side as fun trip, to dandy ranges, picnics and what not. Very good visibility around and the shape of it makes it easier to understand the dimensions for easy parking. It has only been a few months so cannot comment on the service factor yet.

So much for fixed price service

published

Car is five star but service is nil - they did nothing and by that I mean I believe they only changed the sticker and washed the car. The dealer in Southern sydney admitted they didn't change the fuel filter (oil is brown so believe they did not change this either) and did the service again, but did not adjust the handbrake or brakes in the second service. Still waiting for the refund cheque. How can you trust them.

Great small car!

published

Bought a swift for the wife to go to and from work, turned out to be a great little car that's cheap to run, easy to park reliable and I often use it myself to go to work now, great on the fuel. Doesn't come with cruise control, which is a bit of a letdown, but going long trips isnt what they are designed for anyway. No regrets here, no mechanical issues either.

LOve My Little Swift

published

I purchased my car brand new. It is the best car on fuel economy and handling and so cheap to insure. We added some extras to give it a sporty look and it never fails to turn heads. The only let down is the boot space is very small and can hardly fit a stroller in it so not really recommended for mums and babies. We liked the swift so much we encouraged our daughter to buy one too and she loves her just as much.

LOVE this car!

published

I love this car! I have owned a few different hatchbacks and this is by far the best.
I have a manual, and with other cars I test drove before buying this one the gears felt kind of wimpy - if you know what I mean - but the gears on this felt really solid and responsive.

The fuel economy is also really good and the car itself is suprisingly roomy. I have had a car full of people before, including a couple of burly characters and we haven't been squishy. I even used it to pick up a 42" TV still in the box from the shop. The guy in the loading bay told me I wouldn't fit it in. Should have seen his face when I did!

Driver's seat

published

No, not just you. The car is almost the complete the package in the light class, 100kw and zippy. But, with one omission which should be noted. It needs driver lumbar adjustment. Unfrtunately, this is unlikely to happen, as Suzuki do not fit this to their cars, disappointing. Am still hoping Suzuki will make it happen, could be dreaming.

Bad carpet

I have had my car for 9 months and there is a hole in the carpet where I break, my breaks make a springy noise and feel, I have to lock then unlock my car to get the boot to shut. Think I have a lemon.

Awesome

published

Suzuki Swift bought as a demo, last of the Japanese built Swifts. Now done nearly 20k with absolutely no problems! Run it on 98 octane which it thrives on! Capped price servicing and a 5 year suzuki factory warranty makes for great value for money motoring!! Highly recommended to anyone needing a quality small hatchback for commuting to work or second car.
Electric power steering is awesome
Would like 4 wheel disc brakes

Happy with my little red car

published

I bought my Swift in 2012. In the beginning there were a few times that the car wouldnt start due to battery problem. At one time I called AHG Road Assist I waited for 45 mins, the 2nd time I called RAC it came in 25 mins or so. I have used RAC ever since. After changing the battery by RAC, the car is fine so far. I did notice there was some loud noise when accelerating but dealer and some friends said its normal. One thing, when I turned on the indicator to turn left/right, after the turn finished, the indicator would still stay on. I needed to turn it off automatically. I found it a bit strange. But overall, I still love my little car.
Easy to drive and park
Can be bullied by 4WD and bigger cars (ie changing lanes)

Swift FZ (2011-2017)

Hi all, a few things regarding the 2012 suzuki swift 5 door automatic hatchback. In the last year or so when starting my car it idles which is understandable however when in reverse and reversing back my car seems to stall/misfire this also happens when i put it in drive and go to take off i notice the car is delayed in acceleration any idea as to what this could be???, this also happens when ive been driving and i stop at a set of lights or exiting a shopping centre i put my foot on the excelerator however the car dosent move straight away its like it takes 5-10 seconds to process could this be a problem with the battery, spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel filter, air filter??? its really got me curious, can someone please tell me what you might think it is. Ive taken it to the mechanics and explained the misfire and stalling however they’ve come back to me with thousands of dollars worth of problems and no reason at all as to why theres a misfire, stalling, sluggishness ect.
Thanks in advance
