It's been a week since the Suzuki Swift Sport was delivered. I haven't finished running-in yet, but I'd like to take a ride every day for the past week, try the Ashi Driveway, the highway, etc., and write down my impressions at the moment. (I would like to introduce my husband's review later)
Bottom line.Fast, light, fun, cospa's strongest car".
A car that has solid basic performance and strongly reflects the driver's technique. So it's very rewarding and interesting to drive. It's been a week since I bought it, but "I'm glad I bought itI think from the bottom of my heart.
First of all, Swiss Po is faster than I expected. Of course, the acceleration in 2nd gear is very light, relaxed and comfortable, of course.It accelerates in any speed range, whether it is 3rd, 4th or 5th.Is amazing.
It's as if "Is it loaded with a motor?The acceleration is so light and laid-back that you might think.
It is equipped with a 1.4L direct injection turbo engine and has 140 horsepower, but it weighs less than 1 ton (970kg).It feels like a car with more power and torque than the numbers.Even on a fairly steep slope, it's amazing because it climbs very powerfully in 3rd gear.
Also, the power and compactness are just right, so it's a lot of fun to ride in the city. If you operate this car that runs sharply with MT,You can feel a sense of unity and companionship with the car.
Also, it is a good impression that the car has a very light weight, but it has a solid feeling of ground contact.
In the past, I've driven several compact cars of the same price range from other manufacturers, but honestly, I couldn't trust the car and run with peace of mind.
In that respect, Swift Sport is a car that pursues the enjoyment of driving, and the suspension is solid, so it is fun just to turn at low speeds at intersections in the city. And yetNote e-POWER NISMO S that used to be in my houseThe legs are not too stiff and the ride is comfortable.
And how to enter the shift lever feels really good.
It's not as clear as the modern Porsche, but it's easy to operate, it feels a little squishy, and it feels like you want to make a shift change without meaning (laughs).
The clutch is light and the points to connect are not strict, so you can drive comfortably without having to worry when starting.
However, it doesn't have an auto-hold function on the slope, so when you start on the slope, it will move back a little (you can use the side brake, but I don't use it), but it's not difficult to do.
Even on the highwayThere is no dissatisfaction with the acceleration at the time of merging, but rather it is very fast so it feels good.. In addition, it runs stably even during high-speed cruising, saying "Because the weight of the car is light, it is scary to flutter when speeding upThere is no such thing as.
You can change lanes very smoothly.
It's unbelievable that a fun car made so well can be purchased with a new car for as little as 2 million yen.
On the other hand, if you give a negative point,The road noise is loud.Road noise is large even when driving on national roads at normal speeds, and even greater on highways.
Therefore, I feel a strong sense of speed on the highway, and I feel that I may get a little tired if I run a long distance (... is too long or w) from my home such as Fuji Speedway.
Just on this one.My husband decided to put sound absorbing material and damping material in the carTherefore, it seems that the road noise is considerably reduced. (I want to write an article about that as well)
This is also a plus in that it is more rewarding to drive than a minus point, but of course there is no electronic control like modern Porsche, soIf you turn a corner such as the Ashi Driveway at a certain speed without thinking about anything, the roll will be large and it will bulge out.I'm sick.
So, the "Where is the load on the car now, what kind of movement is the car doing?It is necessary to sharpen the senses and drive after fully understanding the information on the car and the road surface.
It felt a little scary at first, but gradually "It's a good practice for driving, and it's really fun to drive while thinking and feeling like this.I have come to feel.
Although it is still far from being able to trust the car and run as one, "If I could drive this Swiss Po like a limb, it would be a lot of fun.It's a car that makes me want to do my best to improve my driving skills.
My husband, by the way.
I haven't had Suissepo open my heart yet, but the dialogue with the behavior is interesting. Besides, it's stable even in the corners, so I don't feel like I can trust the car more than I expected.
Perhaps because of rumors that the next Swisspo will be a hybrid, this may be the last pure gasoline engine Swisspo. So I think I bought it at the right time, and I think it's a good idea to take good care of it forever.
He said.
It's only about 300km, but it's really fun and the cost performance is the best. I should have bought it earlier (laughs)
I think that the running will change considerably from now on, so I hope to continue to introduce it on my blog.
