Suzuki Swift vvt 2008

5 star review

I bought my car 18months ago with 8700 miles on the clock and I spend 8 to 12 hours a day in it as a driving instructor. It has been very reliable and is well liked by my pupils, the only problem being selecting 1st gear following harsh braking. A quick double clutch and its in. It gives 330 miles to a tank of fuel. A personal moan would be the size and shape of the head restraints, which cause a blind spot from the interior mirror. Mine has now done 67000 miles and has only needed one clutch and a set of brakes. A good car.

I love this little car despite its 3 recalls! Driver’s door airbag fault, gear lever change and now difficulty changing gears. I called my garage as the warranty was almost up to advise of the issue that had been bugging me for some time only to be advised that my car chassi number shows on the "AFFECTED" list, but no recall letter...thanks Suzuki!! Tones of space inside for a deceptively small car however, I’m not the one driving when it comes to shopping trips, if I’m lucky I can get 4 full bags of shopping in the boot! It’s a good job this car comes with back seats!! I’ve had nothing but bad luck with this car but it’s all been purely cosmetic......and down to other people! despite the numerous spray jobs and an alloy refurb I still love my swift. I wouldn’t recommend this car for families, it’s got space but its more height than overall space. ONE MASSIVE SEASONAL FLAW this car is horrible in snow, it could get stuck in an inch of slush. There’s barely any weight in the front so I find having a shovel and deflating my tyres always comes in handy.

4 star review

Had the car for about 1 month now, overall very happy. Only 4 stars because the one problem we do have is the quietness of the indicators, if for any reason the indicators do not cancel automatically the beeping noise is so quiet you cannot hear it on a lot of road conditions. I’ve nearly had 2 accidents because of this, has anyone else come across this problem? I rang Suzuki direct and they told me it was the relay, I asked if these cars could be recalled to have a louder relay fitted before a accident occurred and was told in no uncertain terms they could not. I also spoke to the dealer I purchased the car from, the lady there told me she herself as come across this problem and had several other customers mention this problem to her - an accident waiting to happen?
