Suzuki Swift Sport

14 Aug, 2006 7 Comments

The first time I saw the new Suzki Swift, I was a little surprised. Okay so it looked really cool, it wasn’t what I was expecting from the Japanese brand which really had forsaken Australia for some time. That was in 2005, when Suzuki launched the new Swift to much anticipation. Powered by a 1.5L engine the Suzuki Swift put out a small 74kW @ 6000rpm of power and 133Nm @ 4000rpm-4000rpm of Torque. The current swift costs anywhere between $16,000 to $20,000 plus onroads etc.

But come September, there is a new Swift. The Suzuki Swift Sport. Admitedly, its a far cry from the Suzuki Swift GTis of old but nonetheless, at least its something sporty. The Swift Sport will use a 1.6-litre twin cam engine which Suzuki claims is specially built just for the Sport model. It puts out around 123 horsepwer which is around 92kw.

Current reports from Tokyo suggest that the new Suzuki Swift Sport gets a good deal of sports trimmings, and inside are high-backed red-and-black sport seats, a leather-trimmed wheel and choice of a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic.

There isn’t much detail yet regarding the Suzuki Swift Sport, but come September when Suzuki unvail the car, you can bet all the specifications will get released. No prices for the Swift Sport are yet confirmed, but I would hope it stays below $25,000 to be a valuable car.

The swift is a nice litte car, unfortunatle I bought anew one from New Spot Suzuki 2020 Main North Road Adelaide.

The car was bought NEW from the showroom with sports alloy wheels. From day one there was a rubbing noise coming from the wheels as if they were to big.
Long story short, took the car back and they assured us that it was fine, “just wear the tyres down and the noise will go. This was from the service department? on and on for months back and forward to the shop. Now they reckon there are too many miles on the tyres and there are flat spots surprise surprize. The noise inside the car is unbelievable, I took the sales manager for a drive and he siad oh we need to do somthing about this, dont worry I will sort it out.
They wont come to the party to do the right thing and admit they are wrong. We have been stalled and stalled for months now by the sales manager who was going to sort it out, now I am going to hold a protest outside the dealership until the replace the tyres.

Thanks for your ear.

DONT BUY FROM NEW SPOT SUZUKI!

Does anyone know when the new facelift for the Swift will arrive in Oz. I read on Drive.com that they have already released it in Japan, with minor cosmetic revision but beside from that i haven’t heard anything else.
I’m currently thinking of buying one but with the impending arrival of the new version i want to know its worth the wait?

No Problems with Newspot Suzuki here, have purchased 4 New vehicles in total and never had a problem. There always has to be a trouble maker and someone who is never satisfied. Well done jim Johnston!!!!!!!!!

jim did you pressure the team to put on the “alloy rims”

as i saw you complaint on another web site a few months prior to this one , as I asked the suzuki team manager at the motor show in brissi about this and he said you had put on aftermarket versions not the stock ones as per the sport , if this is true you shouldnt whinge you galah.
