  | Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 I was alone in the car, so > Left hand hold the steering wheel, and right hand hold the camera.    This is the basic 1.3 Swift, no luxury, only 2 airbags+ABS. But it only 950 kg heavy and it's got 93 hp!  1. 20-60 kph in second gear 2. 40-100 kph in second gear (until it hits the rev limiter at 6800) 3. 60-120 kph in third gear 4. And this is what'll happen if you try to do the steering, gearchange and filming with only two hands (on a wet road)

| Re: Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 93-hp is "a lot" for such a car.  Nice entertaining videos.

| Re: Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 Can I say that it sounds pretty darn good?  My dad test drove a Swift Sport with a 1.6L 125bhp engine, he loved it too.

| Re: Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 I've read a lot of good reviews of the swift, and judging by your experiences, it lives by it's name! The interior is also very good! Thanks for the review! |

| Re: Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 WoW! Today I did 0-100 kph with the Suzy in dry road. 1st gear up to 53 kph, 2nd to 98 kph. And I think the time was under 10 seconds. Surely! Can't wait to do the video of it and see the time.

| Re: Me testing my bro's Swift 1.3 And finally, I did the 0-160 km/h test!  There's a 1,5 km long straight road near my town. That's our secret test track with no trafic.  We did 3 attempts to reach 160 kph. There's was a quite strong SW-wind, so the 2nd and 3rd runs gave us moderate acceleration times. But the first was pretty damn good IMO (thanks for the backwind)
