Any comments on how fast these are in terms of straightline pace? Anyone driving one had a run in with another car to gauge how quick the Swift is?
Low torque motors can feel a bit slow as they don't have any sort of torque swell low down but they're actually decently quick in the real world most of the time.
On paper not amazing, my mate followed me in his old clk 3.2 v6 petrol auto, I know not a rocket ship but was pleasantly surprised by the swift and I followed my other pal in his 3.0 v6 TDI vw Touareg and I held its own.

I don't think the performance numbers, namely 0-60, really do this car justice. It should definitely be in the 7 range at ~130bhp per tonne imo, it's a shame there isn't more content on them.

standard car with a remap - is just under 7 secs. however if your really that bothered by performance on paper it may not be for you. They really are great fun and keep speed well but its no AMG

My current car is 300bhp and it's quite a frustrating drive as you can't really exploit the car... Ideally I'll be looking for something cheaper (first time house buyer) as well as being more fun which this seems to fit. ~7ish to 60 is good performance in my book, couldn't imagine how annoying an AMG would be day to day standard car with a remap - is just under 7 secs. however if your really that bothered by performance on paper it may not be for you.

this is the issue i'm having! Mk1 TT with 265hp and I love it but for a to b driving on the commute it barely gets a run out. Smaller cars with 100-150hp seem to the best bet in having good un on that tyoe of drive!

It was reving at around 3.5 k on motorway I had DAB radio on and the satnav directing me. No headache no bad back, what more do you need. Oh and it left the BMW touring driving up my arse once we got on the Devon back roads.

Can anyone tell me the main differences between the ZC31 & ZC32? I know the 32 has a 6 speed box but is there any differences to the engines, suspension set-up ect?
Reason I ask as im pretty keen on getting one as a 2nd car myself but cant seem to find any info comparing these two to see if the zc31 is worth the extra dollar.
Cheers

I think engine has some very minor tweaks (Chris from CTC tuning could tell you), 6 speed box as you say.Reason I ask as im pretty keen on getting one as a 2nd car myself but cant seem to find any info comparing these two to see if the zc31 is worth the extra dollar.

The main aspect is gear, the next gen swift sport has
cruise,
Bluetooth,
NAV [on later models],
Digital radio
MP3 / aux [better to see and use on later NAV models]
fancy lights [dunno if halogen or what but good in dark]
Push start
I think the 32 has better suspension [ I recall reading something ]
Both have
Keyless
Same size wheels with odd tyre size ( they have used this on z33 as well I think)
Can’t think of anything else.

Well, how did you find it?
I may have bought it! Lovely little car, 2015 with higher miles but immaculate and serviced well.
Gear box oil I think needs changing but I think its just more notchy vs the tt box.
Can throw it around, and I feel you can use it more than a more powerful car.... definitely quicker than the stats say. 7-8seconds rather than 8+
Sorry for the late reply! Ive just started a new job!

guess it wasn't for him
It was!Love how easy it is to drive and enjoy and can do the motorway trips when needed.
Had it a week, haven't been able to get it under 40mpg, so much cheaper to run than the TT. and can really feel how light it is!
5500 for the 2015 with 70k. too good a deal to pass up!!
Are there any major service check points on the m16a?

Lets have some pics then
Ilovejapcrap said:
not really 9k service which i dont see as a bad thing nice new oil, i have read that it wants valve clearance checks at some point but no idea on mileage for that.
Lets have some pics then
I have read its 72k hence why i'm abit Lets have some pics then
as it wasn't clear! Ill have to contact Suzuki to see prices for it, as I can see it being expensive, maybe labour?
Instagram is @mk2_sss along with my TT @ste225tt
probably the best place where I post pics of them!

But the better they are it lets petrol/air in and exhaust gas out at the correct time in piston cycle so in theory engine runs smoother and gives better power.

I wouldn't really worry about milage, I seen a 2015 for sale recently with north of 120k on it and it was very tidy still.
Keep us updated!
So, had a drive in a swift sport yesterday and had a few observations;
Nice seats
High seating position, do you get used to this?
Good infotainment and responsive
Very good gearchange, close gates
Decent ride
All quite good but the test-drive was up and down a dual carriageway which obviously doesn't tell you what a car is really like. It didn't feel slow but does anyone find the performance hampered significantly with passengers? I was 3 up and the salesman was on the chunky side you could say and I didn't feel much fizz at the top end.
Didn't get any feel for the handling of course which is annoying. The Revs seemed to jump between 600-900 at idle with the AC on and in general was a bit lumpy on idle but the car is due a service, I assume this isn't normal?

The ZC32 only weighs a bit over a ton so loading it up does dent performance quite noticeably.Gassing Station | Japanese Chat | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
