The Suzuki Swift's design and driving characteristics help make the Swift an ideal first car with either a 1.3 litre petol producing 92BHP and a slightly larger 1.5 litre engine that produces 102BHP.
Suzuki Vitara
The Suzuki Vitara is a small 4x4. The Suzuki Vitara is more of a normal road car, as tests have proven this is not one of the best 4x4s and wouldnt be recomended to be used on a cross country trail! The larger five-door estates are more modern and provide a bit more luxury. Having said that however the three door models are often crammed with optional extras and can be a better option for your money.
Suzuki Wagon R
The Suzuki Wagon R is a very small people carryer, first introduced in 1993. It is one of the first cars to use the heightened body shell for its design. This car has quite a interesting design with its unusual height and very short bonnet and a vertical hatchback style sides. This is proclaimed to be to enable the car be more of a "city" car and be easier to park and manouver in traffic.
