The thing that attracted me most to the Suzuki Swift is its look — small and cute, kind of like a Mini Cooper, and super easy to park, especially for beginners. The performance isn’t very powerful, but the handling is excellent. It really gives you the feeling that it’s made for people who enjoy driving. I got the manual version, and at first the clutch was a bit tricky, but once I got used to it, I really started enjoying the drive. The interior space is decent — three people can sit in the back just fine, but the trunk is a bit small. The main downside is that the cabin is mostly hard plastic, and there's almost no sound insulation. But I knew all that before buying. For me, the design and driving feel were the most important things — and I’m honestly really happy with it. The M15 engine from Suzuki is known for being reliable and easy and cheap to maintain.
