The previous 2012 Suzuki Swift, I have fond memories. The small 1.6 liter took turns endless and the chassis was set to be as fun as possible! Understand that their rear was moving freely and happily did not hesitate to embark … Fabulous! Both say bluntly, the newcomer has a substantially wiser. Stability gains what is lost in “fun”! But let there be no mistake: today more than ever, the small Swift Sport is quite efficient.
Inside, there is always the same strange feeling to be sitting on a stool! A strange sensation for a sports car … The sport is nestled in other details: red stitching on the seats and steering wheel, redesigned dials and maintains seats increased. Livability is correct to four places, but the trunk disappointed by its limited volume.
Starting at the touch of a button, I spend the first gears and go! The course urban and suburban areas of the first grip leaves little memories. Mechanics is discreet enough, but lacks punch at low revs. The reports go without thinking and handling is Sportxcellente Suzuki Swift. Well, it’s all very well, but Swift Sport, there’s “Sport”, right?
While looming in front of us, fantastic bands of very high sinuosity (ie the former Special Rally of Catalonia, no less!), I run the engine in turns. And there, it does more laughs: past 4000 r / min, the engine rumbles like a little devil out of the box, pushing continuously until about 7,000 rpm / drive runs a front clear and sharp! At the discretion of the countless corners, the small Swift seems to play obstacles and flying over the difficulties.
It slows down box, it moves the finger and the eye, and it reaccelerates in a roar of small 4-cylinder supercharged mad! Nature rather understeer, the bombinette request to be placed with conviction on corner entry to reveal its full potential. And this condition, the efficiency peaked in spite of sometimes jumping back and endurance braking sometimes just use harsh.
For fans of figures, know that the 2012 Suzuki Swift reaches 195 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / in 8.7 seconds. But beyond the numbers, these are the feelings that prevail!
Sports, but also bourgeois, the Swift Sport is full of equipment: automatic Bi-Xenon headlights, ESP, 7 airbags, leather steering wheel, heated seats, Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel … It can therefore claim to a role small city accomplished.
If its services and equipment are up, its price is also logical. A € 16,699, introductory price and almost “fully equipped”, the Swift Sport is a good deal. Subsequently, the price will turn around the € 18,000.
