NOOOOOOOOO I bet most of you said.....I've been looking for a small car for the wife and had a look at these..quite a quirky little thing..but know nothing about them....now i remember the old Swift was built in India..oh my God thoughts of the City Rover spring to mind..but all I can find out about the new one is that the diesel engine has come from Fiat...so to you experts 2 questions...

1...2 petrol engines they use a 1.3 and a 1.5..where are these sourced from?

2..Where is it built??

oh yes and any views about the car would be greatfully recieved..please bear in mind she has a 206 at present October 55Reg..with less than 3000 on the clock...she also considered the new Seat Ibiza to...pity the VW Polo was a bit too expensive for a knock about town car..so the end of my epic...please help as shes fancying my R32 more now... beerchug.gifbeerchug.gif

the old Swift GTi was supposed to be PDQ.

It was, in it's day. It gave a lot of much more expensive machinery a run for it's money.

It was a 1.3 litre 16v engine produced only 100 bhp and 83 lbs of torque. It's 0-60 was 8.3 and it did a 1/4 mile in just over 16 seconds - it was a very light car and that compensated for it's lack of engine capacity.

A lot of them have fallen prey to Chavs though. frown.gif

Indeed, the GTTi, like the M3, is one of the few cars that can claim to be in the 100bhp+ per litre club.
