What you guys recon. I didn't mind the old echo but what really turned me off was the dash and the tacho being in the middle. The new model looks ugly.
http://www.carsguide.news.com.au/new...E21822,00.html Not sold here but looks interesting from what I can work out it makes 92kw and 148nm from a 1.6l thats modded from the original 1.5l. http://www.suzuki.co.jp/dom4/lineup/swiftsport/ |

Don't know why they're going on about the name change from "Echo" to "Yaris", as the current model was always called Yaris in Japan and Europe. Sounds better anyhow...
Still think the Fiesta looks better

Suzuki sure have gone the long yards with the new swift.
The normal swifts i see around all the time look great, but that sport model looks awesome ! exterior styling is spot on, i love the fact that some parts of the car look like they are from the mini cooper, like the roof. What i especially like is the fact it has no bump strips down the doors, it gives the impression that the doors are much phatter and larger than they probably are :P

I was looking at this thing when i bought mine. The clutch is absolutely horrid. I reckon someones Grandma designed it. To soft, high pick up, doesn't do it for me.
