Suzuki Swift Sport. How does running change when a family of 5 puts a heavy suitcase in the trunk?

Swisspo (MT) is often used to pick up and go shopping with three children (8, 5, and 2 years old).

just the other day for the first timeAs a family of 5, when I ran with a large heavy suitcase and luggage in the trunk, the running was very different from usual.So, I would like to write about that impression.

Difference from the usual Swisspo

I usually drive Swisspo and my favorite place is"Lightness" "Ease of acceleration" "Enjoyment of driving"It is.

Looking at only the numbers, it is 140 horsepower of 1400 CC,Feels like a car with more power than numbersAnd it's fun just to run in the city where there are many traffic lights.It accelerates sufficiently from any speed range, and when driving on a highway, even if you step on the accelerator from 6th gear, it will run smoothly.I always think it's really amazing.

However, if a family of five runs with heavy luggage on their backs,"Lightness fades" and "Acceleration is heavy", and the brisk movement is reduced,The fun of driving has been cut in half. (Well, I don't care if I carry that much luggage w)

It doesn't feel that heavy when you start, but when you get to a certain speed, the acceleration slows down, and even when the highway merges, "obviously heavy in the backI felt that the "I'm a good person.

In terms of ride comfort, the undulations and unevenness of the road surface were picked up as they were, and the impression of shaking and ruggedness was strengthened.

Normally, the joints of the expressway have a normal impact with a "gatan", but it feels bigger,I also feel like my sense of grounding is getting weaker...

Normally, I can run on the highway at a slightly better pace, but on this day, I felt a little nervous while running.I wonder if it's a little tough to keep running in the overtaking lane all the time...I was under the impression that the

The Swisspo is a car that allows you to enjoy driving using its light weight (less than 1t).I was able to feel that again.

I prefer German cars for highway driving

Ease of everyday use, compactness, resistance to breakage, good fuel efficiency, safety equipmentIn that respect, Japanese cars are very well made, and I feel that there are many good ones with good cost performance.

In addition, SwisspoIt handles well, feels good on the ground, and is very fun to drive, so I love it, and it's enough for me now.I think it's a great car.

However, when driving on the highway,I miss the solid feeling of German cars and the reliability of the suspension.

Especially the other day, when I was running with heavy luggage, there were times when the feeling of grounding on the highway faded and I felt a little uneasy.

."With a Volkswagen Golf, even with suitcases and luggage loaded, you can run more safely on the highway.(Of course, if the price is different, I think there are things like wheelbases and tires, etc.)

I had a conversation.

Apart from that, I said, "i like german car brands”But I think that the performance of the car, which is made for high-speed long-distance driving on the Autobahn, is good because it is safe.

Swisspo is fun and enough now, but when my children grow up and I have time to go out for a while by myself, I feel that it would be nice to own a German car these days.
