With the purchase of a rather handsome Saab 9000 this week, the Swift is going in for a pre sale service and air con re-gas next week.

I've loved owning it - and I could still keep it, but I'd rather be racking up some of the more boring miles in something more sheddy and use the Saab for nicer drives. Especially now the Swift has been relegated from the driveway to the communal parking spaces in the close, which I'm not too keen on as the paintwork is spotless.

I've put roughly 15k miles on it and its been absolutely faultless, and feels like it would be for many years to come!

I don't think they like having sale links in your own post.

Nothing to stop me though.

I've had a few time wasters over the last few days, I absolutely hate selling cars, especially at this end of the market.

Took it out for a blast just now, and found myself grinning from ear to ear. I'm going to let the advert run its course seeing as it's paid for, and if I don't get any serious interest then I think this will stay. I quite fancy subtly tinting the rear windows and adding some wind deflectors. Then when the time comes I'll trade it in to avoid having to deal with selling it privately!

Having had a Panda 100hp before this, I can say that the Swift is infinitely better.

Sorry... Honestly though, the bounciness drove me mad in the panda. The swift is still firm and sporty but very planted and not uncomfortable. I also prefer the driving position, and the extra bit of power really helps. The 100hp's are fantastic little cars though and I still prefer the way they look!

I haven't actually, I assumed because there are so few cars actually advertised on PH classifieds that there wouldn't be a huge amount of interest that way. Worth a try for sure, thanks.

It would be excellent with a turbo or supercharger fitted... I don't think I will though, when I'm driving it the power feels like just enough, doesn't leave me wishing it had more. Not until I get annihilated by a diesel insignia or something equally depressing on a straight bit of road.

It has been, after a few time wasters, the advert expired and I'd come to accept I'll probably hang on to it.

That said, I could really do with the space!
