ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 One more thought..... could be a Marrzzda lol, Ive got my bets on VE Commie (Although not that JDM) or Mazda 6 or The new version of the GTX that has just been released, both of which are made in Yellow and Mazda got a car of the year award for the Mazda 3 didnt they??? Suzuki Swift?? That wouldn't be an Andrew car?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) If its what I think it is - why? For that money you could get a better handling and performing and looking car. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them, but IMO they do not represent good value. Commodore VE/VZ SS V8 at $63k rrp.

Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Emma takes the prize with Chris second. It is indeed a Suzuki Swift SPORT. I cannot believe how well it handles. So nice jumping in a BRAND spanking new car. Lots of mods from a standard swift http://www.suzuki.co.nz/auto/whatshot.html?featured=1 Will be keeping this for 2.5 - 3 years.

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 I was going to say a Mazda 3 MPS, but the swift is pretty kewl!! and so cheap!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Nice choice, a mate of mine has a Swift as well, goes really good for such a lil' car! I'm a fan of the new Polo GTI turbo, got plans for one when I graduate next year. White with plaid interior, and a sunroof. Sold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 3, 2006 My criteria was 1.) Fun to drive + goes OK. 2.) Good on gas. 3.) Cheap to insure (Is 978/year full comp AMI) 4.) Looks kinda cool 5.) New I drove a mini this morning also - wasn't nearly as fast. Was also weighing up tow cars etc etc. But i'd end up getting an older car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 why buy new? It certainly doesn't make financial sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted October 3, 2006 why buy new? It certainly doesn't make financial sense. Why not - i might take a 10 k hit over 3 years. It's hardly a biggie. I get all the benefits of free service, roadside rescue, warrantee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted October 3, 2006 They have tonnes of demo swifts for el cheapo at suzuki in greenlane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Agreed about the Ex-Demos, but most of them aren't GTi models- these are actually really in demand, and the supplier can't keep up. You won't sell it for a lot less than you paid Andrew, was probably one of the best new car purchases you could make... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Congrats on the new purchase always exciting getting a brand new car. Car looks good how can you go wrong for the money. Looking forward to the daily driver challange well at least the straight line stuff you will kill the commie in the corners. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
