Suzuki Swift - new suzuki swift review - retgwte

so the new suzuki swift automatic is a 1.2

current/old model auto i have is 1.5 and perfectly enough power/umph for long journeys

what will i buy next is now the question as i had assumed i would get another swift but unlikely to get an underpowered 1.2

any ideas?

My thinking is if you like the Suzuki stick with it.The 1.2 engine is capable of 100mph or not far off 165km.The engine is more efficient the car is lighter.More safety features 7 airbags and nicer looking the price will go up a bit it always does.Your choice.

I think you might find its an engine supplied by Fiat.

Thats the diesel not the 1.2 petrol. I think the Suzuki must be the best engine of its capacity on the market. More powerful and better MPG than even the Hyundai 1.2, european manufacturers can't get the balance of performace and Co2 levels of asian petrol engines.

The 1.2 almost as much power as your 1.5 (more than the old 1.3), so it's probably worth test driving it.
