The regular Swift is a sporty car to begin with, the short overhangs on the new gen, coupled with the lowered chassis and stiffer suspension on the Sport make for a very fun drive. Power is near instant, and the engine is very eager to perform and please! It gets good backing from the suspension and steering, and so you can throw this car about, and it reacts and responds with effortless ease.
