Summary
The Suzuki Swift Sport has always aimed to offer cheap thrills. The latest edition sees a significant increase in its price point, due to the revised engine and equipment. But in doing so it loses its bargain status. That being said, the Swift Sport is full of character, comes loaded with equipment and provides some eye raising economy stats. It’s still lively, nimble, and great fun to drive too.
