7 fat people in that car and only 100 hp. That's not going anywhere.

Aftermarket for Suzuki pretty much sucks. A lot of companies have been slowly discontinuing their parts.
I've been buying used parts off forums.

I don't get why North America doesn't get the JDM/European Swift
These things are all over the place here in Australia

| Shame they never made it to NA. Here's a little taste of what we missed out on: Two years and 2800 laps later... Quote:
Rent4Ring is a company in Germany which rents out cars for drivers to burn their tires in Nürburgring, while we know for the fact rental cars gets no respect and they are abused, misused and driven mercilessly in roads, think about the this Suzuki Swift which was rented out in Nürburgring.
There are different type of customer who hire this Swift, some are real enthusiast and some are less than pro. Rent4Ring just recently retired its Suzuki Swift Sport from its fleet and shared the car's two-year-plus lifetime highlights.
2,800 laps of the 'Ring over three seasons
310,000 miles driven
457 different drivers have hired
One of the driver pegged the tachometer at a record 8761 rpm
600 hours of spirited driving
168,000 gear changes
180 million engine revolution
One would wonder on what would be the maintenance cost and what all parts would have been replaced in this 2 years, below are the list of parts which were replaced.
2 clutches
27 front brake pads
Three brake fluid flushes
A new wheel bearing
A new alternator and battery
52 Toyo 888 tires and four Goodyear Eagle F1s
1,847 gallons of 98-octane
For the record, this Swift sport has never broke on the ring or crashed even once, it still dyno's at 133bhp. Rent4Ring has still not scrapped the car, one of its customer has bought this and it will see some more rings in Nürburgring

Captain Slow called that car the heir to the Mini and I think that's really a great explanation for what the Real Swift was. Small, zippy, tight handling, fun to drive and inexpensive to own and operate. Very different from the BMW-revised Mini.
And truly a shame they never brought it here. It may have changed their destiny, and built them up as one of the small and surprising brands.
