Bought used, Owned for 2 Years
Fuel Economy: 13.0 km/litre (7.7 L/100 km), RON97, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
- Very good power, peak torque comes in at 2,500rpm so it's perfect for urban driving
- Nimble and predictable handling, even on stock suspension
- Brakes are responsive and bite well due to light weight (only 970kg kerb weight)
- Myriad of aftermarket parts available
- Able to run on RON95 with no issues
- Great fuel efficiency on the highway, up to 18km/L
- Able to get 13.5km/L average fuel consumption in mixed city and highway driving with a disciplined right foot
- Local NAZA units have no top speed limiter compared to recond models from Japan
- Semi-bucket seats that come with the car are extremely comfortable and will hold you well through corners
- Manual handbrake (this could be a con, depending on the person)
- Much improved rear leg room compared to previous generation Swift Sport models
- Very good looking car, will also catch attention of motorists and passersby due to its rarity in Malaysia
- No 'tapau' hooks in the interior, and you can't add any to the existing seats due to the design
- Very thin paint, the car is prone to stone chips that expose bare metal
- Original 16" rims are hideous
- No rear fog lamp compared to recond models
- Poor soundproofing for a >RM100k car
- Interior finishing is riddled with hard plastics
- Comfort is not good for rear passengers over long distances
To Improve
- Add in 'tapau' hooks around the interior, very essential for Malaysians
Yes, I would recommend this car
