The Swift Sport: 9,800 km on the Clock Today, I’d like to share what it was really like to own a Suzuki Swift Sport for a year and a half. My Swift Sport was delivered in October 2021, and I sold it at the end of May 2023. By then, it had covered 9,850 km. I took it out on the nearby Royu Driveway and on the highway now and then, but most of my...

Thank you so, so much! I took delivery of my Swift Sport in October 2021, and for about a year and a half, it was a terrific companion. It had around 9,500 km on the odometer. Most of my driving...
This post is about listing my car on Carbybuy, but it isn’t sponsored or a paid promotion. I’m simply sharing my personal experience. Selling My Suzuki Swift Sport Through Carbybuy My beloved Swift Sport with a manual transmission. I bought it new and made it my own, down to the decals. It’s a car I’ve grown very attached to. Since taking delivery in October 2021, I’ve driven it almost every day, often saying, “This is...
What Should I Do with My Swift Sport? Last year, I placed an order for a Porsche 911. That brought up a big question: should I keep my current car, a Suzuki Swift Sport, or sell it? Our Swift Sport joined the family in October the year before last. I drove it almost every day and loved it, so until the end of last year, I planned to keep it for a while yet. It’s...
My Swift Sport I took delivery of my Swift Sport in October the year before last. Since then, I’ve driven it in all kinds of situations: around town, on mountain roads like the Royu Driveway, and on the highway. Sometimes it’s been with all five members of my family on board, and sometimes just me. One time, I drove my husband’s 911 (964) and then got straight into the Swift Sport. “You can’t really compare...
I usually drive my Swift Sport (manual) around town with my three kids—ages eight, five, and two—in tow, running errands and doing school pickups. But the other day, for the first time, I took a drive with all five of us on board and the trunk packed to the brim with large, heavy suitcases and other luggage. The car felt very different from the way it normally does, so I wanted to share my impressions....
Nine Months With the Swift Sport My Swift Sport arrived in October 2021. It was delivered back in October 2021—and just like that, nine months have passed. Since taking delivery, I’ve made only a couple of changes: fitting lowering springs and switching the interior lights to LEDs. I’ve driven the Swift Sport almost every day over the past nine months, but the mileage hasn’t climbed much. Most of my trips are local runs to the...
The Downsides of the Suzuki Swift Sport My Suzuki Swift Sport has now covered more than 2,000 km. At the end of last year, I had lowering springs installed. The ride is still comfortable, and the car is even more fun to drive. It’s nimble and quick, feels effortless around town and on the highway, and the manual transmission is easy and enjoyable to use. I’m also gradually getting the hang of rev-matching. When it...
I recently wrote a review of the Suzuki Swift Sport in completely stock form. Since then, I’ve made a few changes and fitted SWK’s Lowering Sports Spring Set. Here are my impressions of how it’s changed the car. SWK Lowering Sports Spring Set (ZC33S) The springs I chose are sold by SWK (Suzuki Works Kurume), a Suzuki dealer that operates Suzuki Arena Kurume Nishi. When choosing a lowering setup, I had a few priorities: My...
It’s been nearly two months since the Suzuki Swift Sport joined our family. We recently fitted lowering springs, but before making any modifications, I asked my husband to share his impressions of the car in completely stock condition. Here’s what he had to say. Suzuki Swift Sport ZC33S Review: The Stock Car Suzuki doesn’t appear to prescribe an official break-in procedure, but the 1,000-km first inspection and oil change are behind us, and the engine...
