Description

The Suzuki Swift GL is a nimble and economical small hatch that suits urban driving and everyday errands. Its light steering and compact footprint make it easy to manoeuvre in traffic and park in tight spaces, while the 1.3L engine offers a willing, efficient drive on longer runs. The interior is straightforward and practical, providing comfortable seating for four and sensible storage for daily use.

This example is being offered as a spare or for repair due to a noted rough idle, so it will appeal to someone looking for an affordable project car or cheap commuter after attention. Overall the Swift’s practicality and low running costs remain its strongest selling points.
