Suzuki Swift

Overall Average Rating - 84.23%
Position in the Top 100 cars - 68th

Japanese superminis have a reputation for being dull to drive yet impeccably built, but the Swift’s Driver Power ratings turn that theory on its head!

A score of 22nd in the handling class will be music to the ears of chassis boffins; a result of 85th for build is a very poor result.

You also told us performance is well above average, though the bone-shaking ride needs improving.

Manufacturer Verdict (Position - 27th)

A big mover, with a rise of four places. Yet Suzuki owners still have plenty of frustrations. While reliability is strong, you’re unhappy with build quality – the showroom-fresh feeling doesn’t appear to last.
