Sub 1 tonne warm hatch. The Suzuki Swift Sport!
Discussion
My circumstances have changed meaning I need a more practical car, so I've settled on a lovely little Suzuki Swift Sport to act as our little runaround car. It's in "championship yellow" with a 1.4 litre turbo engine, 975kg, and because it's a 2019 model it's just before they went mild-hybrid.
It should be delivered next weekend which I'm really looking forward to!
Here's a pic from google images in the meantime:

Well it arrived! But my gosh the yellow is BRIGHT in the sunshine and the girlfriend loves the look of it. I was tempted by white but I’d have always been wondering “I think I should have got yellow”.
Only plans are a CTC remap and potentially a different backbox to make it slightly louder. Nothing crazy because I don’t like OTT exhausts. Just something tuneful sounding.

That looks great! Yellow definitely suits it. I’ve always liked the Swift Sport. A mate hate one of the previous shape, and I had a short drive of that. Brilliant little thing. So good that Suzuki managed to keep the weight down with the newer car.
I fear you may be a magnet for bugs with that colour though!

I've owned a 2014 Swift Sport and test drove a 2018 model- the newer car is slightly quicker but, not as chuckable as the older model ( though that was probably the dealers fault for putting cheap tyres on it).
I do really like them them and you just know they're going to be reliable but, the Fiesta ST exists- and its just better.
The Swift is is lovely though, and still much fun to be had.

The fiesta might be faster but I wouldn’t say it’s a better car. The Swift is much nicer to drive on anything but super smooth tarmac and it isn’t common as muck. Nothing quite like the low weight of them!I do really like them them and you just know they're going to be reliable but, the Fiesta ST exists- and its just better.
