Buying a used Suzki Swift - which model is best?

I am looking to buy a used Suzuki Swift - around 2010/11 and under 20,000 miles. Could you recommend the best spec (SZ2/3 for e.g) and engine size (1.3/1.50) - I am looking for the most economical and cheapest to tax but also most enjoyable to drive.

Contradictory requirements. The 1.5 engine is obviously the most fun to drive because it really lights up the Swift, and is actually a fairly bulletproof Toyota engine. But it uses more fuel than the 1.3. Test and video here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-swif.../
