Description
Some cars arrive in your life like an excitable puppy — small, lively, and completely convinced it’s faster than it actually is. The Suzuki Swift Sport is one of those cars. Except in this case, it is fast enough to make you grin like an idiot.
Under the bonnet is a zingy 1.6-litre engine that loves to rev, loves corners, and generally behaves like it’s been drinking espresso since breakfast. You’ll get around 44 mpg if you behave, it’s ULEZ compliant, and it sits in insurance group 19, which isn’t bad for something that makes every B-road feel like a rally stage.
But here’s the headline: one previous owner. Yes, just one. And whoever they were, they treated this car better than most people treat their children. The service history reads like a diary of mechanical devotion:
9,191 miles – Service
10,487 miles – Service
12,800 miles – Service
14,422 miles – Service
16,253 miles – Service
17,761 miles – Service
19,395 miles – Service
20,988 miles – Service
21,702 miles – Service
22,225 miles – Service
22,722 miles – Service
23,366 miles – Service
24,370 miles – Service
That’s 13 services in total, all documented. You could practically chart this car’s life in oil changes. This is the sort of obsessive care you usually only see from classic Ferrari owners — except here, it’s for a Swift Sport.
It comes with two genuine keys, so you don’t have to play that awkward game of “which family member gets to drive it today.” And being the three-door Sport, it’s lighter, nimbler, and generally more fun than anything else in its price range.
In short: it’s cheap to run, cheap to insure, mechanically pampered to within an inch of its life, and more fun than a pint on a Friday. The perfect hot hatch for people who actually care about their cars.
