I'm an old sports and classic car nut. Your reviews are lively, informative and straight to the point. I love watching them. Not only that, but the Suzuki Swift Sport is a tremendous, agile little car that deserves more cudos... appreciated!
I'm 21 with 2 years NCB, £811 anually fully comp, for anyone wondering what sort of insurance to expect not sure if that helps anyone but nice little cars these are
Jamie you are top notch. There is not a single person on TH-cam who is as calm and relaxed talking and driving around in really cool affordable Gti's and hot hatches from an Era when speed and petrol still was cool.
"I'm 5ft 8, maybe 6ft"
🤣🤣He should become a comedian
Guys exaggerating their size be like
Biggest COPE I've ever heard lol
Came to the comments 7 years on looking for this
Sweet review as per usual! Love how you review both cars which are relevant to the younger driver all the way through to heavily modified monsters. One of the best car related TH-cam channels I've come across. I don't normally comment but thought I would due top content you're banging out!
Indeed. Enthusiastic reviews of modest cars we could all afford and shows you can have fun in pretty much any vehicle.
I have a 2013 Swift sport and i love it. First year of driving and dont think i could have picked a more fun car tbh
I have a this age sport for a first car! Nice little car all-round! Enough power to have fun but not enough to scare you :D
I've been waiting for a review in this car! Thanks Jamie keep up the work 👌🏻
Cheers Jamie, I've been looking at one of these for the Missus, great review!
Passed my test about 3 months ago got the 2006 ddis 1.3 model brilliant little car
Got the same one, have you done any modding on it?
I love these Suzuki VVT engines. Of all the cars, I owned a Suzuki Wagon R with the 1.3 VVT 93bhp. You'd be surprised how well it pulled for what it was, definitely pulled well and was torquey most the way through the rev range.
As you can imagine, the japanese postman pat-mobile was hilarious through twisties as it was the complete wrong chassis for cheeky B-Roads, but my lord was good fun learning the, how shall I say, interesting handling characteristics :')
Had one as a first car and have had faster stuff since but still miss this little thing. So much fun to drive
How much was it to insure??
@@iceintheveinsmate5492 for 17 yo first year I got quoted 2,300 from churchill
heart shape air fresheners paired with suzuki sport, so cute..
Suzuki swift sport my first car on 44k miles, complete bargain. Cheap Insurance, sporty and quite nippy. As a first car it's perfect as the parts are also cheap for this car. On top of that reliability is a plus for this. Had this for more than a year and had no problems. Tbh I this car is underrated, with it turbo charged it will be insane to drive.
Adnaan Rana the insurance cheap for first car ?
@@youtmanj5441 relatively, I'm 18 only just got my license and with a black box and a named driver, it's 1.9k
See that reflection of the vent surround on the drivers wing mirror! that would drive me insane, what a distraction lol
had that shape sport now drive the new model....much better all round 👍...such a fun car to drive...its not all about bhp 😋
I totally agree with the parts thing, I have a 07 swift 1.3 first car and I'm lowered 70mm on coilovers but we're really hard to get hold of cheap, same with my exhaust, I have a piper Catback but cost just under £500 as not many company's do them for swifts
Try and get a crx to review, that would be awesome 👍🏽
best suzuki swift sport review man !! wanna get one for my first motor.. but insurance is a killer
If you live in the UK ingenie car insurance are brilliant
@@jonbgadgetinsight cheers man you just saved me 200 £ off my insurance for a 2013 sport, hadn't even heard of that company before
Great review Jamie, would be good to see you review a new shape 2012+ Swift Sport if you can get hold of one.
Tech582 I've got one if he wants to review it 👍

Who??? 😂
I heavily considered one of these. Only thing stopped me was i felt the footwell was like really cramped and my shine was rubbing off the top of it and my seat was at the lowest.
Nice looking swift, i own a red swift sport and love it 😁
I've daily driven one of these for the past year now and I must say they are absolutely brilliant little cars. Mine has been to the track 4 times now, competed in motorkhana events (and won them) and has never once skipped a beat and let me tell you i trash her everywhere. Brilliant car thats very easy to work on and extremely practical (I use mine as a work horse). My only complaint is there needs to be a little bit more power, anything around the 150hp would be perfect for a car like these. If you are looking for a cheap and reliable first car I could not recommend these more
Is it fun on the corners?
cheap and reliable it is. id just wish there was more torque so i could gain speed faster without having to drive like im racing going through every gear just to keep up with regular traffic. under 3k revs it doesnt move. and mines already stage 1 140hp
You should review a Honda Civic ep2 Jamie! I have one myself and I'm really keen on knowing what you think of them :)
Love the carbon (dipped) detail below the windshield, subtle!
The precious owner of my ‘08 Swift Sport put larger exhausts under it, and it just looks so right. The factory exhaust pipes are just a little bit too small b
Can't wait to get mine :)
ive got one of these. Awesome wee car absoluetly love it. my swifts done 108k on it and the clutch and gear box is still crisp. No dodgey feelings in it. not the fastest in a straight line, like dont get me wrong has a bit snap to it but its main strength is defo in the corners. good coilovers, good tyres and the thing is a blast on the twisties
Is yours a sport? Because the sport is very quick for a first car.
good video dude!
i've got the zc31 in red with the back box deleted and i love this flipping car man.Fuel economy sucks ass,but i love this car.Looking to get a cold air intake pipe next
phantom2k10 have one too man, think the mpg is bad as well, was surprised when he said it was good 😂
Same bro im getting 20-28 mpg go through fuel like crazy
You don’t know how lucky you are, my Cooper s when hooning or driving like why I think you two do... easily in teens
Hey Phantom, do you have an instagram or Facebook account? Would you be able to send me a couple of videos of the backbox delete?
@@deankoumakis8399 I got rid of the car some years back mate.
Which you find more fun the Swift Or Elliott's EP2?
would you review an mk4 fiesta with the puma engine?surely,there must be one thats not rusted away
Hi Jamie, was this swift on the orange 'Str.t' Koni's or on the Yellow 'sport' ones?
Runs Bridegstone Tyres, has Michelin decal on the bumper...
Could you do a mk1 skoda fabia vrs?
I just bought my self one as a first car
What's insurance price if you don't mind me asking - it's seems a good choice
I got one aswell.. Also first car.. I dunno if the insurance prices might be different in Denmark.. but i pay 640 euro per year... Which is about 10-15 % more than if i bought basically any other small car (non sport) like a twingo or regular 1,3 swift
im not sure to
me too :D

Hi Jamie!
What is the model of the screen of this Swift??
I only remained watching this video because your time and effort went into it 😹😹😹😹
you should review a Clio RS
Jamie_FYD : can you explain the part about custom back box delete ? Have you changed only the muffler ?
I purchased my 2009 Suzuki Swift Sports 27 Nov 2009. Head Gasket blown last Friday 7 Dec 2018 after 224,583km. I have changed radiator, clutch, serviced air conditioning regularly. Service regularly, can't remember when I did the timing belt, I think it was done twice. I am so upset that it did not last more than 9 years. Especially when I did not treat it badly and maintained it really well. Now I have limited funds and I desperately need another car. 9 years ago, my Yellow car was fantastic to put company stickers and logos on it. It helped my business, it was a moving billboard. for the first 4-5 years, I average over 35,000km per year. Some of it was easy freeway driving. Then I dropped off to about 24,000km per year.
Not sure how 2011 Swift Sports compares to my old 2009 model but I was happy with how simple my old car. Sold my car to a mechanic. I have no time nor skill to change the engine. It wouldn't be worth it for me, even if someone offered me discounted labour. I am so upset. What car should I get now???
I am from Australia, so we pay much more for cars. Some of the brands/model written in the comments, I am not that familiar with. I need to get out more. I need to travel more. First I need money to buy a car!
Well, over 224000km for a sporty subcompact car doesnt seem to bad to me.
This or a Mini Cooper S is going to be my first car.
M3 or Audi RS reviews?
If they sold these here in the states I'd buy one I think.
Review a Suzuki ignis sport
this or an is200 at the same price? for a daily commuter car
Ignis sport for me that little bit more unique 10bhp down but weighs in at 900kg 8 secs to 60 can't complain:)
Nice little car Ignis but the parts are very rare to find..
do a video of runx z or the T sport
He doesn't release the throttle before shifting... It's annoying
He’s Rev matching to the engine that’s why
@@hanzalamehmood2991 what on upshifts? 😂
@@Ben-sc7gf no downshifts Ofc
Any chance of a seat Leon Cupra r mk1
Good little motor these
awesome cars☺
I'm actually Canadian so I can definitely buy one of those frickin things out of Japan right now because us Canadians can definitely import cars from Japan in the years of 2005 right now and American's can't yet have this car from Japan for a very long time now so I just actually perfure being a Canadian citizen then an american citizen so bro come to Canada and Review mine when I get it bro
Have you got any air fresheners?
Jamie and anyone else I'm looking to buy one of these... not that it's a game changer but really interested does this generation of swift sports all come with keyless entry and go? What about MP3 compatibility?
Hi Dalton, I have the 2013 swift sport, and its keyless entry and go, and plays mp3's just fine, im using a 16gb usb stick, works great.
Clio 200 next Matie or 197
How do you tell a real one , is it in the vin , written on it somewhere,
I've just seen this exact car for sale on autotrader 😂
I'm 21 and thinking about getting one of these, need something that is relatively cheap to run but something that is decently quick without drinking too much fuel, anyone recommend any other cars like this?
Honda Civic 1.6 Sport EP2, Renault Clio 1.6 GT 128 or 1.2 TCe, Fiat Panda 100hp, Toyota Yaris T-sport, Ford Fiesta Zetec S, Vauxhall Corsa 1.7 CDTi SRi, Seat Ibiza 1.9 tdi FR....
Seat Ibiza 1.2TSI FR Black Edition
citroen ax 16v
rather die than be seen in one
I'm 21 and own one , cracking little car sounds awesome with the cat back and can absolutely hoon round little back roads loves to be revved
What is the offset of the 17 x 7.5 wheels ?
What exhaust system are you running in this swift sport m16. Like mine to sound like this.
Only backbox delete
Jamie I want to give you my 2009 T-Jet punto sporting ive modified to 180bhp but you Live so far away :-(
How many air fresheners
Yes
2.7 cu ft L-ported box with 4 8" Sony Xplod P5 subs here, don't think that would fit UNDER the boot of this car lol would take up the whole boot
Please get a dash cam man
Do you reckon a 6'4" would fit in it? Great video btw!
@bkey_media yes mate. I’m 6ft 3 and I’ve got plenty space
@@navjotsingh1293 thanks!
anyone know the offset of those wheels?
With your weight is like driving the stock 1.3 GL
Good review. Now go and find a Suzuki swift gti!
wait so how did he get his exhaust to sound like that? because I want to do that now hah
i want to die something to do with the batbox
Ksjammy12HD yeah but I really want to know what he did
My car ! Awesome review, what is the exhaust set up please?
This is my car it is just pipe cut the box 3 inch from the flange and bent and welded 2 pipes out the back and out the standard tips on it :) but when I save some money want to put a mongoose cat back to take out the centre cat to make it pop and bang more
+Elliott Powell What is your instagram ? I want to ask you few questions :)
You should know if it's your car
+Daniel Scott I have a swift sport that why i said "my car"
+Quentin Knjo sorry I not replied been busy working @powell.e is my Instagram page
4.05 A common mistake is to keep your hand on the gear-handle, it's not good for the transmissiion. !!!
Thoughts on this car being a first car
As first car it is definitely not a mistake.
@@niklaschmid so its good first car?
@@soul_crew2270 Yes, absolutely. It's my first car and I've been driving it for three years now. I've never had any problems with it and it's a huge pleasure to drive this car. In Germany, insurance is actually quite cheap, the only problem is the relatively high fuel consumption (on the Autobahn), but in countries with speed limits this is not really a problem either. On country roads, this car is a fun machine that you can push to the limits but still travel relatively safely.
@@niklaschmid ah see im in the uk
Come on Jamie up your game! Do tests on cars around the 10k region (usual hotspot for cars)
People with decent modified cars won't just throw them at someone to review. I wouldn't be throwning anyone the keys to my rs3 for example. Still a good channel for the younger driver to watch.
I'm 18 and I can't afford a 10k car so these videos are perfect.
what a stupid comment istiaque
I have this ..love it to bits..downside group 23 insurance ..pay 3k a year 😒
4 adverts again I like your channel but it's taking the Michael now
This or a vaxhaull corsia white limited edition ?
swift sport any day sub 10sec 0-60 only downside only 4 seats in comparison to the corsa
+NutriFIT nutritie si fitnes Yeah the corsa is a sub 1 litre car with a tiny turbo lol. I don't like corsa's however if I was to buy one it'd be the 1.6 turbo SRI. With the detuned VXR engine.
+NutriFIT nutritie si fitnes did you say the 1l turbo corsa is quicker than this
Fiesta 1L ecoboost. 40mpg with a 1L turbo, 140bhp. (I get 38mpg in mine whilst not being particularly friendly to the gears...)
+alfie sole aw they're exceptional cars was looking at them myself but I don't like how popular they are, but yeah probably the best all round car for Britain I believe
How much fuel per 100km?
My one gets about 8.3l per 100km
and city driving,12-13l?
@@zarkomiodrag7132 probs more like 11-12 if you're really trying
@@padraic5316 thank you
@@zarkomiodrag7132 you're welcome mate, hope you get one because they're a heap of fun
Stock exhaust ?
Thx
IsThisARealPig It seems to be
IsThisARealPig back box delete, cut out the back box silencer and replace it with straight pipes and tips
thx :)
Yaris t sport or swift sport ?
ignis sport lol
yaris for me
I drove both. 2nd gen Yaris TS all the way.
Toyota's 1.8 Dual VVTi engine has awesome torque at any RPM. Way stronger than Suzuki's engine and it still can gets a crazy good mileage if you can resist yourself from accelerating. The suspension in the Swift Sport is hard as a rock even by sport suspension standards and it fucking sucks. Not only it beats you up, but it is so hard it's losing grip on bumps when you go hard. Yaris TS suspension is not soft at all, but it is just right and balanced. The only things that are slightly better in Swift Sport are the brakes and the shifter. Toyota's steering and all the pedals are very sensitive and super light, but you can get used to them fairly quickly. Another good thing about Yaris TS is that it's traction control kicks in fairly late and it does let you go fast on the limits of the grip, but it will help you recover if you lose it.
Get a 1.8 Yaris TS, upgrade brake pads and tires. You will have way more fun than in a 1.6 Swift Sport and you will have more comfort as well. Plus Yaris has a lot of tiny storage compartments all over the car which includes 3 glove boxes.
1.27 Again you don't use your blinkers !!!! Everyone can learn to drive, but keeping to the rules and thinking of others is something else, isn't it ???
it is pretty slow but nothing can't be so fun, specially on dirt
Pretty fast for it's power thanks to the lightness and gearbox.
Not slow when you know its power band.
1000th view
You could buy this. Oorrrr you could buy an Abarth (:
EnglishKnifeReviewer my girl friend white Abarth is on the channel to
You could but the Fiats are unreliable pieces of shit.
100,000 on a clutch is plenty of life...
My A3's clutch went out at 150k miles.
190K on a MkV GTI

Get ad block
America lost something good. Would be nice if we could get them in America.
Won’t let Jamie drive me car he rags the fuck out of every fucking car he drives
You said ,, You know" for about 1000 times. Come on man, You can do better. În rest a nice video.
*"YOU KNOW"*
they go within 100000 miles . nonsense. thats un proven and speculation mine has done nearly that and its fine
0.15. Why don't you use your blinkers when you turn right and turn left??? That's a bad beginning of this video.
FUCKNG HELL 4 ADDS

I don't I Suzuki car
Why would you modify a FWD car? hahahaha
go look at the 670+bhp ford focus RS on his channel, then come back to me bro.....
james s4 Gotta hate those dudes... "Why would you modify a fwd car?" Bet he has never driven one...
I can tell you what it's like owning a Suzuki swift sport in one word- shit
