Motor bike with 4 wheels

published

Bought this car in November 2012 and find This car is the zippiest funest car I have driven. It puts a smile on my face every time I get in. Not just me but all 4 members of my family who drive it.
My 28 yr old son even took it down to Sydney for 10 weeks and his comment was "For a girls car it is a lot of fun to drive"
Everyone in my family has a motor bike licence and as such really appreciate the handling, take off & cornering of this vehicle
Would definitely buy one again
Zippy Fast & handles well

Bought my swift in 2012 and it had a loud clunking/cracking noise. It happens when I hit 20km/hour after ignition. It won't happen again until I turn off the car and re-ignite again. I took it to service and they said it's a common thing with the auto testing of the ABS system. They also said it happens with every swift they have but honestly, this is just not convincing at all.

If this loud noise is a common thing (according to them), then I suggest you NOT to consider this car at all!
nice interior design
bad after sale service

2012 GA swift

published

Gr8 car 650km for 34 litres around town, looks a bit girly, but fits me and mates no problem, sits on 110 on trips and have had 1ton of carpet squares in the rear with 260kg of people in front still did 110km for the 400km trip home. Ive done 45,000k in just over a year and could not be happier with the car or Nat caps in canberra that sold it to me. aftersales service was 1st class. handles dirt roads well exept the front bumper is a bit low and scrapes on gutters. LOVE it and will buy another when the time arrives and from national capital motors.
fuel economy, handeling, comfort.
should make a ute version

Rough Ride!

published

This is my 2nd swift and unfortunately will be my last ! Drives well, but sits so rough at traffic lights drives me crazy! Taken it back 3 times until they have convinced me its the new smaller engine in the 2013 model. Feels like a 20 yr old VW when I'm stationary. Will never purchase a swift again !

Too rough in idle !

Change your petrol brand. Do not use shell

Yes, I agree with aboce comment. I found the fuel made a big differnce. I changed to the premium fuel and never had a problem after that. My vt commodore is the same as what my swift was, once i put the premium in, it never missed a beat since

The Swift was manufactured in Thailand from January this year and has now reverted back to Japan. There are problems with the autos and according to Suzuki Australia they all do it and won't fix it.

Great town car

published

Very good reliable car. Bought when 12 months old. Have now had for 5 years without problems. Very economical. Easy to park. Could do with a bit more power and a cruise control. Boot space limited. Apart from that a great car. Heaps of legroom and headroom for taller drivers.

I love this car its really good on fuel i have driven 8500km since i got this car and its awesome, the only problem is boot size
but i do love the HID's alot brighter than Halogen globes, and the response of the throttle is great when putting foot down also the engine likes being up in the higher rev range

There is only one fault with the suzuki ... I have a suzi swift gl ... the side pillar gets
in the way of seeing any cars coming from the left ... you have to keep that in mind. Otherwise a great little car.

Suzuki swift glx 2012

published

First new car I've bought. Was skeptical about the fuel consumption, but made it from my hometown in eastern victoria up to canberra on one tank of premium petrol- 665km. Nice, smooth handling. Easiest car to park, helped nicely by the relatively big side mirrors. Stylish inside and out. Love the fact I can walk up to it with my hands full and press the button to unlock the car! Love my swift!
Inexpensive, great petrol consumption, roomy for a little car.

Best car

Love my swift sport!! Looks great! Plenty of room inside and very reliable.
2 of my girlfriends own the sport an another few have the standard model.
The sport is quick, sporty and comfy
I feel very safe driving it and as a passenger :-)
I would definatly recommend you test drive one and see for yourself!

Very nice daily commuter. It's nimble and light and for me very comfortable to drive. Plenty of head room too. I really like the transmission in the manual, it has taken quite a beating from me and she still runs very well. This car is very efficient and I am managing 700km per tank driving to uni and back.
Only problem is from the get-go like many 5 speed transmissions reverse can be a bit tricky to engage and sometimes ill have to release the clutch and re-engage to wack her into reverse. Apart from that no complaints.
Nothing has faulted ever.
Efficient, reliable, easy to park
Like many 5 speed gear boxes reverse can be a bit tricky

I got my swift for 22765 GLX 2012 with Auto transmission,Blue Paint,gt stripes and rear top spoiler with 2436kms on the odometer..is that worth it?..I wanted a brand new one but there wasnt a blue one available at that time and that I needed to wait for 20 days for a brand new blue GLX..if I waited,I wouldnt get the gt stripes and the spoiler..other than that I love my swift..

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
