The "express review" format fits the Swift Sport so well because nothing goes wrong. It wouldn't work for something like a Jeep or a VW as there's no way you can condense the "What Goes Wrong?" section into under 10 minutes.
I've got the ZC33s (the 1.4T model) and its an absolute hoot to drive around. Lots of power and astonishing mechanical grip. Been really reliable as well. Just feels like a quality bang for buck product that I'm proud to own. Its not something that gets a lot of street cred and most people aren't too curious about it. But once you're inside, you get what its all about.
I'm really glad older versions of cars you already did are an option. Even if it's a quicker video I just like knowing what all cars are like within the same family. (Even just all cars in general) I watch this less as a buyer's guide (for now) and more of just an info grab on cars I've never driven or may not get to drive. I just like knowing things lol. Will consume whatever new piece of knowledge you put in my subscription feed.
I had a 2008 swift sport before I got my 2016 fiesta st and I flogged the living piss out of it 24/7 for a good 8 years straight and it never skipped a beat and all I did to it was have it regularly serviced. I used to take mine rallying up the mountain and everything, handles really well on dirt surprisingly. Great cars and very underrated BUT after getting the Fiesta ST there's no going back, the fiesta ST is just brilliant.
The only reason I switched cars was because the swift was a total write off, road was washed away and I smashed the catalytic converter, sump and bent up the front end etc but if it wasn't for that accident I would be still driving the swift sport.
I really like this format for your videos. No complaints from me! Easily the most relatable and useful reviews on here imo. You all have a lot of character!
Should you buy one? The answer is definitely yes! I've never owned one but back in the day I had these as loan cars from the dealer & I've driven all the variants in this series. The Swift Sport with the M16A engine & man gearbox is the one to go for. Suzuki like their engines to rev so take-offs can be quick. Handling is fantastic. Highly recommended for L & P plated drivers as a first car. Even with some basic DIY tools you can easily service it yourself. The 2010 onwards car are ok but it misses this generations smile per mile. As talked about in the video, check to see if it's been in an accident. It's also a very cheap car to modify. I agree with the seats as Suzuki seats were never a strong point. If Mum & Dad are considering a good runabout for their teen, this is the one to buy & it'll teach the teen how to drive very confidently.
The JDM version was also available with a 4-speed automatic, which has much better gearing for motorway use. You can also get a replacement fifth gear for the manual to bring the revs down.
I love Suzuki. I've got a Holden yg Cruze 2004 (ignis rebadge, not the later shitty Daewoo ones), done just shy of 300,000ks, and still drives like a dream
Great video! I've got a 3rd gen Swift Sport (the current turbo one) but always loved the look of the original. I'll say that the 3rd gen is a good shout too if you want something a bit more modern, although the turbo engine lacks the character of the earlier cars. More than enough power to have fun, and sharp handling as well. It's cheap as anything to run, only complaint is an annoying wastegate rattle/buzz when cold that Suzuki won't do anything to fix.
Thanks for doing this. I own one & it's very accurate, down to the driving experience (when mentioned it revs high on freeway speeds so bit noisy after a long drive)..also accurately mentioned about the driver seat right side upholstery often tears great stuff
I like this sort of filming format. I think the one thing that's missing in these videos would be a real-time 0-100kms test as 90% of the time numbers on paper aren't always correct. Yes I know for a Swift It's not so much of a biggy, but it's for peace of mind for people who are genuinely interested.
I like both types of review Adam. If you are doing an express review because there is another in depth review on the same or similar car that is great. But not as a stand alone review.
Uses chain that will need replacement, because it's not a simplex chain which stretches very easily and because it has a chain the water pump isn't a service part so the owner of the car will most likely know when it's gonna need replaceing when it starts to leak. It's a "sporty" car (that's what is advertised) so it means that wheel bearings drive shafts, suspension and so on will wear out quicker then expected when buying second hand. The newer model has the 1.4T engine which is a newer and it still doesn't show big problems, but expecting anything modern will break sooner because of all the plastic being used and on top of that it has direct injection which leads to intake valves getting clogged up and will need cleaning around every 20.000 to 50.000 kilometer.
got a sport a few months back for 3000 with 200,000kms and changed the clutch, but apart from that amazing little nugget, took it from perth to augusta and back and it made the trip way more fun.
The only thing I'd do different if I were running your channel is to maybe stay away from reviewing modded cars because most people wouldn't be buying one with the exact mods your test car may have. Other than that, this is still my favorite used car review channel (even though many cars like today's example aren't available in the US where I live).
Thanks so much for the feedback mate. We do, where we can, try to steer clear of modified cars however we don’t have the luxury of being too picky as we feature cars from friends, family and viewers. Generally speaking, we try to find a car that’s a good representation of what’s on the used market (not mint condition and not a dog of an example) and if that means the perfect condition car has a few mods, we’ll still go with it. Really appreciate you commenting on and critiquing what we do, we love this feedback. - AK
I owned one of these, great car for some spirited driving. I will say, it's clutch fork failed which is a common issue with this series. After I fixed it I decided it was time for an upgrade and got the Zc33s 1.4 Turbo. Power delivery is better but I preferred the older ones steering feel and handling better. But that's nothing a few mods can't fix
I bought one for my Wife as I needed a reliable and for the time safe car. Compared to the 90's magna this was very safe and was one of the best cars we owned, the only thing it lacked was cruise control. Don't buy one that is manual from 2008 and 2009, 5th gear tends to fail...
I got a ZCS33S after your previous review on the second gen and also loved the first gen one that I used to own. There are minor annoyances with the latest one but it’s so fun to push it around at legal speed. I do agree with other comments that the latest one lost some of its tactile character but it’s still one fun little bugger. It’s more comfortable than the first gen, even though its suspension are tuned stiffer. Thanks redriven for helping me with my decision. Hope to see your review on ZCS33S.
great vid. am keeping an eye out for one of these as they look like a decent little daily commuter but still kinda fun as well. great content in these vids overall. no fluff just straight to business. top stuff and the production quality is top notch as well. 👍👍
What a Brilliant revue Sub after 10 second watching As a motor journalust which I am as well, you will admit that we deal with a whole lot of cars. Better, worse, nicer and disappointing. don't know about you, but the newer cars on the market, the more Swift becomes the most honest, analog, intuitive and predictable endorphin giver. Proud owner of 2009 SS
The best little Suzuki with “Sport” in the title is still the OG Ignis Sport with genuine WRC heritage. Older, but smaller, lighter and faster with a great body kit & killer wheels. Pity they’re thin on the ground now.
Yeah pretty hard to find nice ones. They are cool little nuggets though. Saying that, one of the best thing about these is that they are plentiful so getting stuff for them is easy. The Ignis Sport is much harder to get bits for.
I've had both ZS31 and Colt Ralliart. Swift Sport - best car out of the factory but tuning potential is a lot less. Also feels it is from a newer generation of car than the Colt. 5 speed on the highway is brutal and the amount of plastic bits I've broken is astronomical. Colt Ralliart - my God the 1.5t engine is awesome. Stock is ok but best mod I did on it was an intercooler from a BA Falcon XR6T. The larger intercooler fits behind the grill with no mods and all the heat soak problems disappear. The Colt is a car for the modder - stock suspension is too high and soft but sadly as it's not as popular in Australia there isn't much aftermarket support.
Loving the express reviews! A car I would really like to see featured is the 2014-19 Toyota Yaris Ascent. A really good cheap car when new but would like to see how a used one stands. As always awesome video!
Watch for check engine lights caused by cat converters failing, as the cat's in the headers it's not as easy a fix as you might hope. Also if the air con compressor has failed, that's a surprisingly spendy fix (also fairly common). However, fun little cars.
i had it for 11 years, bulletproff and just crazy fun beacuse it is not to fast and you have to woooork to get best from it, and it is most fun car i ever had, and i had yaris GRMN, and megane rs 4
Express review for similar models which you guys have reviewed before is alright. But I think in depth reviews are still more informational and entertaining to watch. The Volvo XC90 video seems to be a good length.
One thing with these Swifts is that they have phenomenal manual transmissions. I don't think I've ever driven a car that has a better feeling manual gearstick. It just clicks into place so effortlessly.
I’m really considering the 4wd 1st gen swift, 4wd, manual, small lightweight hatchback with great fuel economy (for a 4wd). I want a car that can do it all, and I really want a 4wd/awd this time around, our winters here in finland can be quite rough and getting stuck or slipping all over the place in a fwd/rwd isn’t very fun.
The sporty reviews are obviously more entertaining, but I'd like to see how the standard versions of these stack up. Now that's going to be a boring misery for you, so what about a video where you compare all the competing cars in this segment in one video? I'd like to see you do a Top Gear-style head-to-head on a group of these cars (not just a list video), and I reckon you'd probably have fun doing it, driving a bunch all in one day. Probably hard to organise though! Maybe through a dealer? ;-)
In India we generally have a negative perspective about Suzuki`s Safety as they have poor build quality compared to their foreign counterparts, for example the Suzuki Swift sold in Australia has 5-star rating and the one sold in India has only 1-star crash gncap rating. But the swift sells in crazy numbers as it is a cheap and fun car . I have always avoided owning one , even if its fun to drive
Inhave a 2015 sss and i like the older model look more. I just got michelin pilot tires and they really stick in the rail. I like that. For the rest… well… i relly think my miata NA turbo is a 9.5 car and the soez is a 6.5. It s fun if you give it hell. For the rest, i have a noisy steer issue so i think my front suspension upper,mounts needs attention. I also replaced the gear shift cable rubbers since the car didn t want to shift to 6th gear anymore and the rubber under the bonnet was chewing gum and the stick rubber was so brittle is fell apart. But that was it.
Cabin noise can be loud at highway speeds, and there's no spare ex factory, just a Tyre Repair Kit. Which won't help you if you drive over a deep pothole and damage the sidewall. NSW country roads are atrocious.
Would buy a Suzuki Swift over a Toyota corolla any day of the week, great little cars with lots of soul...even though in terms of quality the Corolla is better.
I had one of these for 4 years and loved everything about it except the high revs on the highway. Upgraded to the next model and found it to be a little less urgent, but a lot more grown up in terms of practicality. I now have the turbo version and it’s also a great car, though completely different from the last 2 - the low end torque is a massive improvement. The problem? With no Swift Sport model in sight, what to get that offers the same fun, reliability AND great value?
@ Depends what you’re looking for. It’s cheap to run and pretty bullet proof, and huge fun to drive. But, it’s small and revs high at motorway speeds. It’s very lively, like the car equivalent of a puppy!
@ Swift Sports don’t have a spare tyre. The space is taken up by the beefed up shocks and the different exhaust system. There should be a kit under the boot floor containing a pump and some goo for inflating a punctured tyre. Having a spare rolling around in the boot is not ideal.
Yes and yes. As long as you keep up your maintenance and find the right suppliers, Swifts, whether the regular one or the Sport will generally be reliable (as they're not souped up high like most hatchbacks nowadays) and relatively easy to work on if you know what you're doing - community for this car is pretty sizable too. Aftermarket support is pretty decent.
@@jetski275 the City and Yaris is also good choice for if you want to do basic driving though, and particularly the Yaris is also as reliable across all generations so it comes down to which one of the three you liked more, and if you can find any of them in decent condition for good money (if you're buying used)
Had a guy tell me these are better than the Note nismo S that you also review. After watching this id say nah the swift is definitely not a better car. And the 0-100 time between the 2 cars show that this car is clearly slower. And Seriously why would anyone put either cars on a track. That would be embarrassing. I will stick with the nissan nismo S. Better fuel economy. Quicker off the mark. Nicer seats and way more leg room and nicer trims.
Has anyone gotten a Suzuki Baleno, any issues or anything? I test drove a brand new one a few years ago and thought it was even better than the swift. Still tempted to get one
Track down an early GLX Turbo I reckon. Dunno about better than the Swift, they’ve got a lot in common. They cheapened the range to become their entry level later in life.
Doubtful that after 200,000 km it has the original shocks, and the fact that the owner takes it to the track, makes me think he has placed some quality shocks into it. Budget on doing the same.
If fast is your only parameter of fun then you're missing half the joys of driving out there! I had 2 much much faster cars than my Swift Sport and genuinely the Swift was by far the most fun on a twisty road. I used to wet myself laughing in that car
Definitely a surprise video today but a good one none the less. With these express reviews (and regular reviews as well) would you consider adding an EUC (Ease of Use and Confort)score for the interior of the cars? I think it'd be a nice compliment to the TBTL rating. The safety features overview after the super fast bit sounded like you were trying to imitate Mr Bean Adam 😂. I take it the Swift that was a lemon you were going to buy over your NA MX-5? Brilliant video guys and was ideal for an express review without the deep diving as it hit that balance of informative and entertaining for a shorter review. Keep up the good work guys and look forward to Friday's video as always 👍.
Sounds nice. Is a bit fat. Nose heavy. Cool (like all 6 cylinder hatches), but not as much potential as turbo 4s. Timing chains have problems. Everything else, similar to R36 review and most other VAG products. Buy a 130i instead, it’s a far better drivers car. The end.
The price is still far to high, these are a 10/14 year old car now, and the auto is absolutely rubbish and incredibly expensive to repair or replace on the zc32s my 06 is a great wee car but showing its age at 189000kms like suspension bushes and other consumables needing to be replaced I hope to get another year out of it or at least till aussie 2nd hand prices come down!!!
It’s a pint sized Golf R based on a Polo platform. More fun than the dull Golf. Little less power too IIRC. Drive one and see if you like it? What goes wrong is going to be the same (more or less) as the R (or S3 for that matter).

I'm hoping this becomes a regular occurence, would really like them reviewing the 2nd gen IS!
I had a 2008 swift sport before I got my 2016 fiesta st and I flogged the living piss out of it 24/7 for a good 8 years straight and it never skipped a beat and all I did to it was have it regularly serviced. I used to take mine rallying up the mountain and everything, handles really well on dirt surprisingly. Great cars and very underrated BUT after getting the Fiesta ST there's no going back, the fiesta ST is just brilliant.

It's a good way to get your kid killed in any crash.
Love this car, it is very fast on the road. I have a suzuki 1997, 6'3" and no problem.
The JDM version was also available with a 4-speed automatic, which has much better gearing for motorway use. You can also get a replacement fifth gear for the manual to bring the revs down.
I love Suzuki. I've got a Holden yg Cruze 2004 (ignis rebadge, not the later shitty Daewoo ones), done just shy of 300,000ks, and still drives like a dream

You have to remember that people loan them these cars, and might not appreciate watching their ride getting mercilessly caned in performance tests.

I love "enough power", it's usable and not terrifying, and the car's a great size, enough for most people and it's got real personality 😊😊😊
Prefure the in depth reviews, but this express review was brilliant.
I'll happily Hoover up any, and all Re Driven information.
got a sport a few months back for 3000 with 200,000kms and changed the clutch, but apart from that amazing little nugget, took it from perth to augusta and back and it made the trip way more fun.
So stoked to see you guys getting the subs and views you deserve. Another amazing video
I like the express review. Well done.
This review is so express that it finished swiftly! 😁
I'll tend to view sub 20 min type content so this is good. Anything longer is too long.

Great review or a great car. I agree these look better than 2nd Gen. thanks guys!
I owned one of these, great car for some spirited driving. I will say, it's clutch fork failed which is a common issue with this series.

I bought one for my Wife as I needed a reliable and for the time safe car.
Compared to the 90's magna this was very safe and was one of the best cars we owned, the only thing it lacked was cruise control.
Don't buy one that is manual from 2008 and 2009, 5th gear tends to fail...
I own one and I love it!! it's a bit expensive in Malaysia but still I love it!
Great way to review a model very similar to one you have already done guys!
Absolutely love my ZC32S
I got a ZCS33S after your previous review on the second gen and also loved the first gen one that I used to own. There are minor annoyances with the latest one but it’s so fun to push it around at legal speed. I do agree with other comments that the latest one lost some of its tactile character but it’s still one fun little bugger. It’s more comfortable than the first gen, even though its suspension are tuned stiffer.
Thanks redriven for helping me with my decision. Hope to see your review on ZCS33S.
Need to review the latest gen. 🤙🏼
I'm new to your channel and found it very informative. Love the layout.
Thanks so much!
great vid.
am keeping an eye out for one of these as they look like a decent little daily commuter but still kinda fun as well.
great content in these vids overall. no fluff just straight to business. top stuff and the production quality is top notch as well.
👍👍
What a Brilliant revue
Sub after 10 second watching
As a motor journalust which I am as well, you will admit that we deal with a whole lot of cars. Better, worse, nicer and disappointing. don't know about you, but the newer cars on the market, the more Swift becomes the most honest, analog, intuitive and predictable endorphin giver.

I had a swift sport so many mods what a fun car , you could shop for hours in jdm stores.I say the Mazda 2 also has great mods .
Quite keen to see how this car stacks up against the Colt Ralliart. Great Video, great car!
I've had both ZS31 and Colt Ralliart.
Swift Sport - best car out of the factory but tuning potential is a lot less. Also feels it is from a newer generation of car than the Colt. 5 speed on the highway is brutal and the amount of plastic bits I've broken is astronomical.
Colt Ralliart - my God the 1.5t engine is awesome. Stock is ok but best mod I did on it was an intercooler from a BA Falcon XR6T. The larger intercooler fits behind the grill with no mods and all the heat soak problems disappear. The Colt is a car for the modder - stock suspension is too high and soft but sadly as it's not as popular in Australia there isn't much aftermarket support.
Top tip: you can fit a deep freezer in the boot with the rear seats folded down.
Entertaining review. 👍👍
Can you pls review the 2017 swift Glx turbo..
Loving the express reviews! A car I would really like to see featured is the 2014-19 Toyota Yaris Ascent. A really good cheap car when new but would like to see how a used one stands. As always awesome video!

i had it for 11 years, bulletproff and just crazy fun beacuse it is not to fast and you have to woooork to get best from it, and it is most fun car i ever had, and i had yaris GRMN, and megane rs 4
Definitely yes to our $4.5k one, I was taking it to work instead of my M135i.
Express review for similar models which you guys have reviewed before is alright. But I think in depth reviews are still more informational and entertaining to watch. The Volvo XC90 video seems to be a good length.
I loved mine. Wish I still had it now, rather than a dirty diesel.
the power figure for the second generation swift is incorrect at 1:00 100kw = 134hp
One thing with these Swifts is that they have phenomenal manual transmissions. I don't think I've ever driven a car that has a better feeling manual gearstick. It just clicks into place so effortlessly.
if only they could have put that genius into the european 1.3 version, absolute embarassment of a gearbox
I’m really considering the 4wd 1st gen swift, 4wd, manual, small lightweight hatchback with great fuel economy (for a 4wd). I want a car that can do it all, and I really want a 4wd/awd this time around, our winters here in finland can be quite rough and getting stuck or slipping all over the place in a fwd/rwd isn’t very fun.
Great video, and top notch voice over!😂
Am a very happy Yaris owner but if I had to get a different car I think I’d most likely go for a swift sport. Third Gen looks the best
The sporty reviews are obviously more entertaining, but I'd like to see how the standard versions of these stack up. Now that's going to be a boring misery for you, so what about a video where you compare all the competing cars in this segment in one video?

Would like to see a review on the 2003 E120 Corolla Station Wagon...
Buttery smooth bro

in 5th at 100 min revs at 3.4k and i get 5.4L to the 100 out of a 2006 1.6L sport car is old and has abt 180km on the clock
These fast reviews a short and sweet and s short and swift review on a Suzuki Swift why not
TBTL - VG point. I know exactly what you mean. I did this with older classic E30 BMW, and 6 year old Mercs
Would buy a Suzuki Swift over a Toyota corolla any day of the week, great little cars with lots of soul...even though in terms of quality the Corolla is better.
Love the vid! Did Australia get the Suzuki Ignis Sport? Wold love to see a review of it!
We did, we need to find one, great request. - AK
Whenever we fly south we hire a Suzy and then go looking for winding roads.
I had one of these for 4 years and loved everything about it except the high revs on the highway. Upgraded to the next model and found it to be a little less urgent, but a lot more grown up in terms of practicality. I now have the turbo version and it’s also a great car, though completely different from the last 2 - the low end torque is a massive improvement. The problem? With no Swift Sport model in sight, what to get that offers the same fun, reliability AND great value?
Im interested buying the 2010 sport is it good ?
@ Depends what you’re looking for. It’s cheap to run and pretty bullet proof, and huge fun to drive. But, it’s small and revs high at motorway speeds. It’s very lively, like the car equivalent of a puppy!
@@steverobinson3900 i just inspect today and its doesn't have spare tyre. Do you think the trunk can fit spare tyre is i buy it myself ?
@ Swift Sports don’t have a spare tyre. The space is taken up by the beefed up shocks and the different exhaust system. There should be a kit under the boot floor containing a pump and some goo for inflating a punctured tyre. Having a spare rolling around in the boot is not ideal.
I don't think TBTL is catching on .. how about NBS - Neck Breaker Status
Needs premium and makes less than 100kw. Am I missing something here? It's basically a Yaris with extra 13kw but needs premium.
You know what you can also love? An Au Ford Falcon! Pls review. It’s the best car to review and I want to know what goes wrong and your opinions
Is the Swift in general reliable compared to a Honda city or Toyota Yaris. Are they easy to repair and find parts for
Yes and yes. As long as you keep up your maintenance and find the right suppliers, Swifts, whether the regular one or the Sport will generally be reliable (as they're not souped up high like most hatchbacks nowadays) and relatively easy to work on if you know what you're doing - community for this car is pretty sizable too. Aftermarket support is pretty decent.
@@PlatinumNath oh gosh okay I'm going to go get one now
@@jetski275 the City and Yaris is also good choice for if you want to do basic driving though, and particularly the Yaris is also as reliable across all generations so it comes down to which one of the three you liked more, and if you can find any of them in decent condition for good money (if you're buying used)
Great express post, please, please do an mn triton cab chassis...😂😂
Suzuki 💪
Had a guy tell me these are better than the Note nismo S that you also review. After watching this id say nah the swift is definitely not a better car. And the 0-100 time between the 2 cars show that this car is clearly slower. And Seriously why would anyone put either cars on a track. That would be embarrassing. I will stick with the nissan nismo S. Better fuel economy. Quicker off the mark. Nicer seats and way more leg room and nicer trims.
Please do a review of the Suzuki Samarui or the older Jimnys pre 1998
Dont agree with fuel economy i only get 8.5 to 9km/liter
Much more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow ...
Do the e class next, the w213
Do you suggest the 2016 version or the latest one?
Will the 2nd gen 6 speed fit in the the first gen sport?
@redriven what's the best bang for buck in your opinion? swift sport or similar vintage 1.5l manual jazz
Just check rust under the bonnet or door
Lmao seductive-style leg spread Ima use that!😂
Give it a revin Kevin!
Swift sport (non turbo) vs Picanto GT?
Can you do the holen/vauxhall/opel opc/ wxr
Hi @ Redriven . What is the reliable alternative for Skoda octavia Rs
review on ZC33S please
Has anyone gotten a Suzuki Baleno, any issues or anything? I test drove a brand new one a few years ago and thought it was even better than the swift. Still tempted to get one
Track down an early GLX Turbo I reckon. Dunno about better than the Swift, they’ve got a lot in common. They cheapened the range to become their entry level later in life.
No problems at all.... Just abuse it and it will go on and on.....
I've had a few of these as shop runabouts in different specs and trims. Unkillable (if that's even a word), The 'Hilux' of the pizza world.
So, what suspension was it running?
Doubtful that after 200,000 km it has the original shocks, and the fact that the owner takes it to the track, makes me think he has placed some quality shocks into it. Budget on doing the same.
2nd gen is smoother but less powerful.
So it’s as fast as a golf GTI in 1976…leave me out 😴
Why? People LOVE the OG GTI. Fast is overrated. 0-100 is WAY overrated.
If fast is your only parameter of fun then you're missing half the joys of driving out there!
I had 2 much much faster cars than my Swift Sport and genuinely the Swift was by far the most fun on a twisty road. I used to wet myself laughing in that car
Definitely a surprise video today but a good one none the less.
With these express reviews (and regular reviews as well) would you consider adding an EUC (Ease of Use and Confort)score for the interior of the cars? I think it'd be a nice compliment to the TBTL rating.
The safety features overview after the super fast bit sounded like you were trying to imitate Mr Bean Adam 😂.
I take it the Swift that was a lemon you were going to buy over your NA MX-5?
Brilliant video guys and was ideal for an express review without the deep diving as it hit that balance of informative and entertaining for a shorter review.
Keep up the good work guys and look forward to Friday's video as always 👍.
please review the golf R32 Mk5 !
Sounds nice. Is a bit fat. Nose heavy. Cool (like all 6 cylinder hatches), but not as much potential as turbo 4s. Timing chains have problems. Everything else, similar to R36 review and most other VAG products. Buy a 130i instead, it’s a far better drivers car. The end.
ooo the wheels are at all four corners!! stop the press. miss my old swift gti lil bag o shit went like crazy
>Taylor Swift
>talented
Pick one
reckon you should have like 6 pretentious coffee cups to put in all the holes for the next one :D
Please do gen 3!
Coming soon! - AK
The price is still far to high, these are a 10/14 year old car now, and the auto is absolutely rubbish and incredibly expensive to repair or replace on the zc32s my 06 is a great wee car but showing its age at 189000kms like suspension bushes and other consumables needing to be replaced I hope to get another year out of it or at least till aussie 2nd hand prices come down!!!
Really need you boys to do one of the Audi S1. C'maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
It’s a pint sized Golf R based on a Polo platform. More fun than the dull Golf. Little less power too IIRC. Drive one and see if you like it? What goes wrong is going to be the same (more or less) as the R (or S3 for that matter).
Can you do the gr86? :'(
They’ve already done the original 86. The new one, well that’s not really ‘re’ driven now is it?
