We review the Suzuki Swift Sport from price to economy and all its features

I WAS sent this car after driving the Toyota RAV4.

Having spent seven days in the 4×4, bending down to squeeze into this was an unusual feeling — but it’s anything but small inside.

Nifty Swifty … Jake drives the new Suzuki Swift Sport

I’ve always liked the Suzuki Swift. It’s the sort of car I wished I had when I was 17.

It has bags of character and the Sport version I drove is nippy.

It’s not exactly in the league of the Golf GTi, but has enough poke to remind you you’re not driving the standard version.

If you’re thinking of buying a Swift I would recommend getting the Sport.

It’s not just the engine — the handling is crisp and there’s extra styling, such as 17in alloys.

It’s a looker … Swift Sport

Inside there are goodies including iPod connection, keyless start and sat-nav.

The cabin has a very slightly cheap feel to it but considering this is not an expensive car to buy and run, that’s nit-picking.

The boot space isn’t too bad — enough for a long weekend’s worth of bags.

It comes in a five-door for those wanting a second family motor.

This car is probably better suited to women. I was aware I didn’t look like the obvious owner of a Swift — as a 6ft 4in bloke.
