This motor revs unreservedly and when you land at the 6200rpm red line, one hears a decent sporty growl.

Indeed, even the 5-speed manual gearbox is found to be handy to use. Its light and short throw enables you to come up with a quick shift with simply the flick of a wrist, and this diminishes the stress on the driver considerably.

It shows it's fundamental roots when you need momentary change of pace, as the gearbox battles to drop the gears rapidly and there is a short respite before the power is conveyed.

The light steering could appear unnerving surrounding the linear ahead position at first, yet once use to, it can be called a precise unit. The stronger you push, the good the Swift feels and the chassis balance is perfect with only a trace of lift-off oversteer at the farthest point. 
