Suzuki Swift - reviews of owners from Russia and CIS countries

The first Suzuki Swift cars appeared in the distant 1983, and since this compact but fast car has survived five generations of its own upgrades. In 1995, the plant producing Suzuki Swift in Hungary was put into operation, and from that moment the wide distribution of such cars began in Europe. In Russia and CIS countries, Suzuki Swift is much less common, but the experience of operating these machines in Russian conditions is considerable. What do the domestic owners of the Swift style?

When it comes to Suzuki Swift, owner feedback almost always starts with the praise of its high-speed qualities. Apparently, it's not for nothing that the car bears the name Swift, which is translated from English as "fast" and even "hot-tempered". Excellent dynamics of overclocking, the ability to maintain traffic at maximum speeds on the highway for a long time and confidently, the ability to quickly execute any maneuvers in the city is distinguished as the owners of models with a 1.5-liter engine, as well as the owners of cars with a 1.3-liter engine. The maximum fuel consumption, which is described by the Suzuki Swift owner with an eight-valve engine of 1.3 liters, traveled more than 100,000 km: 6 liters of gasoline per 100 km - on the highway at a speed of not more than 120 km / h, 8 liters in city mode and 10 liters Liters - when driving at maximum speeds.

With regard to gearbox, our male drivers traditionally rely more on "mechanics", and "machines" like ladies. However, about the robotized box type-tronic, especially with long-term operation on the Suzuki Swift, the reviews are negative: failures occur, there is nowhere to repair and service, there are no specialists.

As for the maneuverability and controllability of the Suzuki Swift - the owners' feedback is unequivocally positive. Praise the opportunity to park anywhere, a small turning radius. Steering the Suzuki Swift with variable worm gear pitch allows faster turning of the wheels, the more the steering wheel deviates from the middle position. At high speeds on the track, this feature allows the car "not to shy from side to side" with small turns of the rudder. On the brakes Suzuki Swift reviews are also positive, even in the absence of ABS and EBD systems on older models. But the rigidity of the suspension and low ground clearance sometimes cause criticism. It is also mentioned that because of the lightness of the car you need to be careful in the management with a strong side wind, the car "throws an air wave of counter cars".

Suzuki Swift car deserves many good reviews about the ergonomics of the cabin, the convenience of the controls and enough space for passengers in a car of this class. The volume of the luggage compartment does not cause rapture, but the transformation of the cabin allows the transportation of bulk cargo. Some owners complain about the inconvenience of positioning the foot pedals. The operation of the air conditioner, the air circulation in the cabin, the convenience of the driver's side view do not cause any complaints - only positive emotions.

Even with respect to the 1997 Suzuki Swift, reviews of reliability and maintainability are only positive. These cars break extremely rare and, despite the high cost of Japanese spare parts, cost their owners inexpensively.

In general, the Suzuki Swift testimonies can be presented as a dynamic, reliable car, perfectly feeling in a big city and confidently behaving on the high-speed track.
