Suzuki Swift History 1985-1988 |
Suzuki Swift was first sold in US and Canada in two different versions, the GA and the GL. Later, the GTI version was added and it had fuel injection and better performance (100HP and 196km/h maximum speed). The name of the Suzuki Swift wasn’t the same everywhere. In Canada it was known as the Pontiac Firefly, in the US and Canada there was the Chevrolet Sprint, Geo Metro in the same two countries and also Maruti Esteem in India. In Japan the Suzuki Swift was named Cultus and in South America was sold as Chevrolet Swift. Some of the different models of the Suzuki Swift were a 3 and a 5 door hatchback, a sedan and a 2 door convertible.
It had three different engines at first, a carburated 1.0L, a turbocharged 1.0L and a 1.3L. The 1.3L was used by the Suzuki Swift GTI version but this one was sold only in Europe and Asia.

I bought a Suzuki Swift second-hand 7 years ago, it had 130 thousand miles on her, but she’s been the best car I’ve ever owned, not only on gas, and reliability and road-worthiness but in terms of affordability, and quality. I would definitely buy another Suzuki if mine were ever irreparable but I adore her and if she broke and I could afford it I would fix her, she might ot be super-fly but she’s such a great car, saving me thousands every year and much the envy of my friends who pay tons for their newer gas-guzzlers. GREAT brand!
