I need to be able to have updated Garmin maps... impossible. I have asked my dealer at Chullora and they tell me they cannot update the maps I am more than happy to pay to have this done... very frustrating. Surely the dealership should be able to do this for their customers.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
