I see the new swift is out, no doubt swift sport to follow, and no doubt comments about not enough power boot too small etc.

I have a 66 plate and the Mrs 70 plate and both are brilliant little cars so I expect the new one will be much of the same.

Rumours of a new Swift sport arriving either late this year or more likely next year with circa '160 bhp', I know Suzuki are always a bit conservative with their figures,that would certainly be interesting. You and your wife are very lucky to own two already.

Still trying to find a decent Swift Sport - is it a trick of the light or do most of the white 5-doors seem to not colour match in a lot of the adverts? They can’t all have been in prangs, surely.

Circumstances may lead me down the road of a ZC32 sport this bank holiday weekend.

2017 5 door model with close to 80k on it. Not my ideal colour choice etc but its a case of beggars cant be choosers currently.

I've had a good read through this thread and plenty to think of when going to look at it. Everything I've read seems positive, so I'm pretty excited to give it a test drive on Monday.

Will report back!

I can't remember if it's been covered in this thread, but the engine management restricts the throttle until there's some warmth in the engine, so expect it to feel gutless for the first mile or so.

Snap!

I’m off on the train on Saturday to look at/buy a 5dr with 50k on it.

Hope we're both successful! beer

Does anyone know the official specs of the wheels that are on the 17 year models (ZC32) at all please?

Theres a few different offsets floating around?

Best I can see is 17x6.5 ET50 5x114.3? This right?

Cheers!

Those sound right to me, not sure how much wiggle room there is for anything else if you fancy a change.

My challenge will be to keep things standard, as this is supposed to be a cost-cutting exercise! Good luck!

Those are the correct wheel specs.

I always recommend 205/45 tyres. I’ve back to backed 195/45 and 215/45.

They also really suit Goodyear f1 assy tyres.

For the guys looking to buy don’t be put off if the gear change feels poor from cold. They are all like that and improve a lot once warm. A fluid change and maybe the linkage bushes too improve things a lot and don’t cost much.

The box only holds 1.8l so it’s worth doing quite regularly.
