      It was added in mid-2020 in Australia, so a 2020 car may or may not have it depending on what month it was manufactured in. All 2021 cars will have it though.

    I test drove a Swift Sport for 24 hours earlier this year. My gripes were the same as yours. I couldn't stand that it (the old one) didn't have a digital speed readout. I found myself taking my eyes off the road for way too long to check my speed. The lack of armrest was also annoying. I really wished the stereo was a bit better as well and had digital radio. Finally those seats, I'm an average-large sized guy and those seats were just too small. My legs would be dead by the end of my 45 minute commute to work and I would be walking around in pain for the rest of the day. It's such a shame because if it wasn't for those seats I would have bought one. Such a fun little car. Hopefully the next one fixes the seats, the armrest and gives us a better infotainment system!

    • @CarSauce
      @CarSauce  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the detailed comment! On reflection the seats were too bolstered for me around my legs, glad I'm not the only person with that issue 😉

    Well it can get chilly in southern parts of Australia and gets snowy in the Snowy Mountains which makes sense for it to have heated sideview mirrors. And I'm from United States and been my lifelong dream to move to Australia and I passed with a score of 80% for Australian citizenship with their practice test online and now I cannot wait to go take it for real at the Australian embassy in NYC!!!

    Great little car I have a 2020 model in yellow in the UK and can confirm it’s a fantastic car for the money well equipped and fun to drive only fault is a slightly notchy gearbox in second which spoils traffic light Grand Prix
    Once the engine loosens up after 6k it’s really starting to fly and with the 975 kg makes it as nippy as my juke nismo and Impreza turbo well recommended for such a low price

      MattBrandCars main thing is the thrust back in the seats 30-90 mph due to the light weight it feels so faster then the 0-60 claimed 8.1 seconds
      Seats grip you well there is slight body roll but that makes the handling more fun as you power out through the twistys

    "Fantastic" review mate! Very thorough and really nice to see you provide your thoughts as you drive the car around. Makes it easy to see how much you're enjoying the overall experience.
    Have had the Swift on the shortlist but COVID-19 has deferred the need for a 2nd car for now. Test drove one last year and completely agree with your observations, the engine outputs are mediocre on paper but the thing just feels so much faster than it actually is. I'd argue that the shorter gear ratios contribute to this "go-kart" feeling and gives you the ability to feel like a hero nailing the 1-2 shift whilst staying well below the speed limit.
    Sad to see the price has gone up again though since the previous price was already pushing it IMO. Makes sense given the new safety features but all that was really missing from the previous car was the digital speedo.

    • @CarSauce
      @CarSauce  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the fantastic cheap shot 😜
      It's a great performing, value for money car. No doubt in my mind. The ratios is annoying but something you learn to live with, and if you enjoy rowing through gears, you might prefer it!
      Thanks for sharing your experiences, and goodluck with your future purchase! I hope to see you around the channel 😊

      As per Tyre Reviews, PS4 are quieter, more grippy and comfortable than others (in class) but provide less feedback.
      Premium Contacts are the sportiest and provide more feedback but are noiser and not as comfortable (can confirm).
      In SA our models come with Yokohama Advans which felt comfy enough but I primarily drove the car on track (screeching tyres).
      I'm running Yokohama "BlueEarth ES 32s" on my i20 and are the best tyres I've put on the car (for the car). Good dry grip, fantastic wet grip and comfort + noise is insanely good. Changed the entire comfort levels of the car.
      Don't know about Pirellis in this 'segment' but they usually aren't the quietest or comfiest in class which may not work well with the cars natural lack of noise insulation.

      I'll address this comment as it seems to address me. I love the swift, loads of fun. The dash is made of hard, brittle plastics. I sit in a new car every week - the quality of the materials are the worst in Suzuki's, it's where they save money and they are unapologetic about it. There's a reason a base model swift is one of the absolute cheapest cars you can buy, and they share the same dash. It's great you like yours, but for prospective buyers it's something they should at least be aware of.

    6 month service intervals just helping dealer profitability at expense of customers!
    15,000km or 12 months is essential; today’s long drain synthetic oils have been proven to do double that) so if Suzuki wants to compete head on with its opposition, like VW Group and Hyundai/ Kia etc it needs to urgently address that issue.

    • @damieg82
      @damieg82 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think Suzuki is being cautious with a 6 month service interval. This engine is direct injected, and it's pretty much a known fact now that this type of injection clogs up intake valves horribly, because oil vapor reaches the valves via the PCV. One way to reduce the build up, is to have very clean oil. Going an entire year means oil loaded up with particulates will make its way to the intake valves.
      Whats really needed is the addition of port injectors to keep the intake valves clean... Toyota has started to do this with their direct injected engines. Until other manufacturers do it, shorter oil intervals will help save the engine in the long run

    • @MiguelEstradaGo

    To bad !
    Suzuki new generation has a GDI engine.
    So direct injection will build up carbon in the intake valve that leads to...
    1. Loss of power especially when driving at higher speed
    2. Poor acceleration
    3. Cold stalling
    4. Engine misfires
    5. Reduced fuel efficiency
    6. Check engine light turned on
    7. Rough running
    8. Engine judder at idle speed
    9. With those issues keep driving with out ''very expensive repair'' will lead to engine failure.
    This process will accelerate if you have turbo.
    Those problems will happen start 5 years
    just when your warranty is out time.

      the year before ( 2017 ) it uses port direct injection so you dont have those issues.
      it's even fast as suzuki new only the design is the same.
      i had friend, owns suzuki swift sport 1.4 2018 25,000km. ( in warrenty )
      when the engine was cleaned he notice increased power and better fuel economy.
      *witch is bad sign because the carbon buildup was already fast progressing.*
      You can buy it but cleaning the enige every 10,000/20,000km.
      i heard of carbon deposit cleaning additives but it's proven in a lot of videos that does not really help much.
      best way of cleaning is taking the engine apart and cleaning part by part witch is ALOT of labour hours (walnut cleaning)
      I wanted to buy suzuki swift sport 1.4 but wont those expensive issues...
      so i focus on buying suzuki swift sport 1.6 2012-2017.
