. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints

while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
Pint-size economy car frugal with fuel.
By Bob Plunkett, NewCarTestDrive.com
The Swift in present design has been around through six model years, yet it continues to look fresh and measure well against more recent competition. Attributes and limitations counteract one another in yin-yang fashion: It's tiny in overall dimensions, but easy to maneuver in the crunch of urban traffic; affordable for a tight car budget, but nicely equipped and quite comfortable; the small engine may lack power, but that accounts for the frugal fuel consumption.In short, Swift still deserves keen consideration in the midget economy class. |
|
Overview:
|
Talk about economy: Suzuki's pint-size Swift hatchback coupe pulls impressive low numbers to the bottom line for an initial purchase, then delivers high fuel economy figures to save more money down the road on gasoline. The base three-door Swift GA hatchback with manual five-speed gearbox, which happens to be the lowest-priced car in a line of economical Japanese minicars, delivers some of the best fuel economy figures of all gas-burning cars sold in North America. Thus, saving money, it seems obvious from the outset, becomes an overriding concept behind Suzuki's small car. That penny-pinching stance extends beyond the fuel pump because Swift offers highly competitive retail prices, beginning at $9,099 for the Swift GA. Even the top Swift, a GL equipped with air conditioning, cassette player and an optional three-speed automatic transmission comes home for about $11,200.
