It's been almost two months since Swift Sports came to my houseHas passed. The other day, I put in a lowdown suspension, but my husband wrote an evaluation in a completely normal state, so I would like to introduce it.

Evaluation and review of full normal Swift Sport (ZC33S)

In the case of Suzuki, it seems that there is no official break-in,The initial inspection and oil change of 1000km are over, and the so-called "break-in" is almost over.

Humans have become accustomed to cars, and the awkwardness of operation has disappeared.

When I think about it now, I think the engine was still astringent right after delivery,Now it's pretty nimble, and the blipping when downshifting is also decided nicely.I think that the suppleness of the suspension has also increased.

Impression in the city

Let's start with the impression that you got on first.

It's very refreshing for a car with 2 million yen + α.I hardly feel the fluffy feeling and unreliability that are typical of domestic compact cars of the same class.

The shift is decided with a moderate sense of moderation, and the shift lever with an appropriate length that is not too short and the last slightly squeaky feeling even feels like a classic 911.

Also, the balance between the height of the driver's seat and the height of the shift lever is just right,As if I put my arm on the armrest, I just grab this shift lever while driving.

The clutch is light and easy to connect.The engine also has enough torque from idling, so if you engage the clutch slowly, the car will start moving even if you hardly fan it.

Even if you are not familiar with manual cars, this is the caseEasy enough to think that the risk of stalling is quite lowis. Not only starting, but also shifting up and down, shift shock is hard to occur and operability is outstanding.

The 1st and 2nd gears and acceleration are quite energetic. Normally"It's a fast car"I think it's a level. Even if you accelerate in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear, the decrease in acceleration power is less than you imagined. This is a fresh surprise, and it is rare that the acceleration power does not decline even if the gear is changed so much.

I hardly feel the turbo lag. In Porsche, the 992 Carrera also has extremely little turbo lag, but it has a similar amount of turbo lag. From any gear, you can accelerate as you wish with a response and a feeling of acceleration that you are not dissatisfied with. This really feels goodThis is a technique that can be achieved by an engine with a maximum torque of 230Nm and 140ps for a vehicle weight of only 970kg.

So you don't have to think too hard about gear even in the city. No matter which gear you put it in, it will accelerate swiftly, so it's very exciting.

The ride quality is very good in the city, and there is a feeling of flatness, and the gentle curves that turn according to the flow of traffic are very reassuring and stable.It is sometimes described as close to a European car, but it is certainly close.If you add the quality that comes from the heaviness to this, I think that it is very similar to the running of VW Polo.

Occasionally, when you get over a big bump, you may hear a rumbling and low-pitched sound, but the impact is not direct and I don't think it's unpleasant for many people. In the city, the flat feeling is basically strong, and it can be seen that the Monroe suspension is well damped against the unevenness of the road surface.

The feeling of the brake is not 100 points, but it is easy to control because it is faithful to the pedaling force and stroke. The effect is very good, and this is a level where you can safely step through even with a panic brake.

Impressions on the highway

Enter the highway and fully accelerate at the confluence. Surprisingly fast for this class. With such a feeling of acceleration, it is possible to join with a sufficient safety margin with the following vehicle.Moreover, since the suspension is crisp, there is less fear and you can rest assured.I wonder if such a car is really safe.

The pace is enough to drive in the driving lane, and there is plenty of room in the body. Further speed up, move into the overtaking lane and accelerate to a speed that can lead the flow.

Then, if you look at the ...Road noise and wind noise have become audible and noisy.In this regardDramatically quiet with simple measuresTherefore, I would like to recommend that you take measures.

Also, when accelerating and reaching a certain speed range, the suspension feels like it is sinking. In the old 90's, many luxury cars run with the feeling that the vehicle height drops and sticks to the road surface when speeding up, but there are things that are close to that feeling.

The feeling of sticking to it will increase the sense of stability.

I think it is due to road noise, steering support rigidity, minute noise and vibration coming from the floor, etc.To be honest, there is no sense of speed as in European carsTherefore, it may be easier to feel tired with ultra-long cruising, but the straight-line stability and stability of the car are sufficient.

Impressions on mountain roads and winding

Swift sports are probably winding, so I brought it in with the expectation.

It's certainly powerful and bends well. Besides, the light weight of the car makes me feel light. However, there is something missing. If you wind the winding slowly at your own pace, the ride will be very comfortable and you will feel good about the fluttering appearance.

It's fun enough if you can carry your family and run a little sporty. It is stable due to the difference in cloudiness from running on a mountain road with an ordinary compact car.

However, theWhen I ran firmly at a slightly faster speed, the roll was bigger than I imagined,You can't do sports driving unless you bend it properly with the load in mind.

It's not a type of car that anyone can run fast with electronic control, but in a good way, it seems to be a car that retains a strong analog characteristic, which is rare among modern cars.

Brake firmly in front of the corner, apply a load to the front, and bend faithfully to the basics.Since it's FF, I thought it would be interesting to operate it while being careful not to put too much load on the front.I thought it was somehow closeMazda RoadsterIt is.

The impression is that the driver's arm is easy to get out of the car.

However, what I was interested in was the height of the center of gravity. The car weighs only 970 kg, so it's very light. Therefore, it runs very lightly and bends. However,It is up to the point where a certain amount of lateral G is appliedis. When the lateral G is applied more than that, the height of the center of gravity and the feeling of high waist start to be anxious because of its lightness.

When cornering at a reasonable speed, the posture during cornering may be unstable. In particular, there are scenes in which the feeling of contact with the tires diminishes due to the feeling that the stretched side is not fully suppressed, and the feeling of fluffy and fluffy floating occurs.

The suspension is a little soft, and the gap between the wheel house and the tire is about four fingers, which is probably the result of considering the stability and comfort of a full ride of five people. The seat position is also high, and the engine mounting position is not particularly low.

In addition to that.The lightweight vehicle weight makes the height of the center of gravity stand out.I think it might be.

I think the car has a lot of potential.The body is solid and the legs move well. Especially thisLightness is the greatest weapon of Swift Sport.

The squeaky feeling in the city, the comfortable shift feeling, and the easy-to-use engine make you want to drive as much as you want, and it makes you think that driving itself is quite fun. It's not as easy as a luxury car, but it's the kind of car that makes you want to go on long-distance touring or traveling.

In the full normal state, it feels like a compact car that can run sporty.Greatest common divisor tuning setting that is optimal for everyoneI feel it. While balancing speed and fun at a high level, we aim to be able to ride comfortably on rough roads, even for five people.

I felt that I was never aiming for sharp performance in normal.

On the other hand, if you want to run one step faster, it is a car that you should tune to your liking. This is not because the normal condition is bad. In other words,I think the manufacturers are making it in anticipation of being tuned to some extent.I think this is the opposite of Porsche's way of thinking.

I don't plan to tune it so crisply because it's a car that my family can ride at home, but recently I've been trying to make it more stable with Ashi.SWK lowdown springI put in and tried to lower the center of gravity a little.

I'd also like to follow a review of this custom.
