Good rental car
I had this as a rental car for 1 month and I love the Apple CarPlay for music with the big touch screen but I don't know if it was my cord for the phone but it kept disconnecting from my Spotify and then reconnecting. Otherwise this car drives very smooth, easy to control and park. It's a cute car and I think it's worth buying if you like the new luxury style hatchbacks

Thaifan Review of 07/08/2018
Readers, Product Review have not updated their Suzuki Swift models, so, if you bought a Suzuki Swift from about June 2018, and review it, it gets lumped into older models. If your Suzuki Swift has the new *bigger body is is the ZC33 series, and you might mention this in your reviews, so that Readers are aware, because Product Review has not kept themselves up to date. The Sport model is ZC33S
My review titled "Exciting" is for the July 2018 introduced SZ33S Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 turbo Boosterjet engine model.

Super efficient
Small car outside, but great size internally.
Never had any problems with the car, super economical and zippy. Can get from A to B in no time and super efficiently. Service is affordable and parts are abundant. Cannot complain about this car.
The only drawback is the boot which is very tiny.

Great Little Car
This is our first purchase of a brand new car, and we couldn't be happier.
Stylish (Looks great in blue, alloy wheels, fog lights)
Very economical (Around 670km from a 42L tank) 16.5km/l
Fixed price servicing only $199/service
Very zippy, from the 1.4l engine plenty of acceleration plus happily sits at 110ish on the highway - just drop into cruise control and way she goes. No issues at all in 20,000km traveled so far. Built in GPS/Entertainment system is also a huge plus in this (2016 Navigator) model.
Just $14000 drive away as a run-out model. Can't beat that!!!!!!

Exciting
When you look at reviews on Product Review, you will notice they are mostly 5 star reviews. And of course you might be aware that Suzuki won the Customer Satisfaction Award for 2018.
I had been looking for a brand of car that still used a conventional torque converter automatic gearbox, with paddle shifters, if you wanted to drive it as a manual. Some of you will know that nearly all car manufacturers have ditched conventional automatics for CVT or Dual Clutch transmissions, and quite a few of these manufacturers have had problems with both ...Read more
types. No one knows whether either will last the life of the car, and there is no car review of a car with a lot of kilometers on it with either of these transmissions. But on YouTube, you will find videos about the failure of these, - for some brands, but not all, - yet. Many people buy automatics, but they have *no idea of what sort of automatic they are getting. CVTs for instance, can not tow trailers, as the belt in the transmission may slip under added load. Dual Clutch transmissions can not back up trailers with a load, on to steep drive ways, as the clutches can burn out. And they become confused in slow moving traffic as to which gear to engage. They are also unsuited to stop start traffic jams, as the clutches will have a slipping effect. This is why those in the know, try to find a car with conventional torque converter. Suzuki had CVT transmissions in some of their models, but dropped them for torque converter automatics. The new 2018 Suzuki Swift has a bigger body than before, and has plenty of room for 4 people, with lots of headroom at the back. I am speaking about the 1.4 litre turbo booster jet engine powered model here, but it probably applies to all 2018 Swift models, that despite their light weight, they feel very solidly built. And they do not feel particularly light to drive. In fact the electric steering does not suggest lightness at all, they seem well planted to the road. The Swift Sport is the fastest of Swift models, and shares the same turbo engine as the SUV Vitara & SCross models. But being lighter than those, and with the engine spiffed up more than the SUV models, the Sport is a very fast agile car, and will leave all cars in their wake when traffic lights change to green. And without any real effort.1 comment

Finally, my dream come true. I got a Swift with a prefect shape car and cockpit to drive what I want
I always want a Swift but never get around to it. Performance, handing and running costs are prefect choice for me to pick for a long term and fell in love since been out car hunting to buy for couple of weeks to test drive. This Swift GLX turbo (speedy blue) met my match what I want for travelling on road trip plus often on work trip too. Only dislike sun visor flaps are quite short for side door window, not enough block out the sun of my side face. Love the interior and rest of it. So I am in love with this car, nickname " Indy! " Love the keyless entry as well but annoyed that I had to bleep twice on button to open all the doors plus hatch as well, bit similar to Commodore VS as well. But overall I love it ..

Nifty little car for the city
Gotten a Swift earlier in June this year after narrowing it down to a few choices. Like the car for its fuel consumption and good handling on the road. It won't win one any race however it is more than competent for city-style driving.
Interior wise it looks pretty modern with a touch screen, however I was a bit disappointed there weren't switches for folding in of the side windows. Having said that I am happy with my purchase generally speaking, even convinced a friend to purchase a swift too later this month.

I honestly love my car it is so reliable and nice.
The driving performance is fantastic, it is the perfect car for a couple or a business person. It’s very small but does the job. The smoothest most relaxing car I’ve get driven. Very reliable and affordable. Worth every penny spent. Not many accessories to make this car unique. Comes with warranty but you wouldn’t need it. Very very very cheap on fuel. I fuel up my car which is like $70 and that can last 1000 kms.

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.

Fuel economy car
It is the best car as its smooth and it gives good mileage. I drive around a lot. So fuel consumption was my concern but this car is fuel economy car. Gives more than 15km per litre. No issues at all with its design or function. Good small car. Recommend it

The Third One!
I smile each time I get into the car. It is hard to believe that so much has changed since my 2011 model. The basic shape has been maintained but the new style grill, headlights and rear doors have changed. Green tinted windows and dark privacy glass on the 4 rear windows adds to the allure. The GLX has 16 inch wheels with polished alloys. This all creates a sporty appearance. Keyless doors and push button start operate by a proximity sensor which means you don't have to take the key out of your pocket or handbag.
At first when I was told it ...Read more

Love my car with great performance
This car is so so so economical that will last you for at least 2 weeks if you are only driving it to work and to the shops. I love the colour and the ease to control it with all the little features that comes with it. Compact to park and fit loads of stuff too!

really REALLY bad experience
I bought a brand new Suzuki Swift in 2016. At my most recent 2 year service at the Suzuki Chullora NSW dealership, the mechanic did not tighten the sump engine plug properly, all my oil leaked out and the engine completely siezed. I now need a full engine replacement. The dealership admitted full responsibity admitting that a "step in our process was not followed correctly". I was first told a new engine would be provided. Before then being told I am only being offered a 2014 engine from a car that was written off due to damage from a collision...Read more
. I responded to Suzuki Chullora management that this is not good enough as I bought a brand new car with a brand new 2016 engine that was never in an accident and has not had any mechanical issues which is now suggested to be replaced with an engine that potentially has issues (all to save the dealership some money for what is their own error). When i called Suzuki Australia about this they told me they could not do anything for me and would not help me with this. Suzuki Chullora is refusing to negotiate and will not budge from this offer. I really don't think this is how a company should treat a customer when it was entirely their dealership error. Seriously consider this story if considering buying a car or getting it serviced at Suzuki dealership...especially the one in Chullora NSW...Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love my Swift
The Swift is a compact car to park and navigate, yet fits loads inside so is great for my needs. It is fuel efficient and comfortable to drive. My previous car was also a Swift, and I only wanted to look at Swifts to replace it. Love the new shape and the deep metallic colour.

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

Questions & Answers
Riannen F.asked
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

what size socket do i need for a suzuki swift sport 1.6 2010 to remove cylinder head?
1 answer
If is a M16 engine you'll need a 12 corner socket wrench.Find yourself a cheap service manual on CD as the bolts need to be removed and installed in a certain order across the length of engine to avoid damage to head.

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
