Default KaJuN's Swift New Car
A new country of residence meant that I needed a new mode of transportation. The variety of cars on this island is pretty amazing with everything from Skylines to Smarts to Space Gears (honking great 4x4 minivans). I set out in search of a car not really knowing what I wanted but as I looked around a car seemed to find me. It was this little beauty right here:

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4674/022an.jpg

It's a 2000 Suzuki Swift 1.3 and so far I absolutely love it. So far as I can tell the body kit and alloys are part of an 80th anniversary special edition because I have yet to see another Swift that looks like this one. The handling is superb; responsive enough to be fun but not so much that it's too touchy for everyday use. The suspension transmits the road nicely without breaking my back every time I hit an imperfection in the road. The brakes are really good and actually hurt my neck a little with all the stopping power. It is an automatic, however, but manuals are a bit hard to come by around here. All in all it's a very fun little car to drive.

Shame you didn't get the sporty version with the 1.5, manual and Recaro seats.

Are you getting a bike too?

^ That would be very tempting but I'm more than happy with what I've ended up with. Maybe I can get another Suzuki...

I'm still contemplating getting a bike and I think the motorcyclist in me will win out in the end.

I'd like my car to stay as far away from the carbage thread as possible. images/smilies/tongue.gif The vast majority of those coffee can exhausts and big spoilers are on cars owned by Americans here. The locals just don't do that. Also it's very rare to see a local driving a Skyline or something like a 240SX. This one lets me blend in a little better. Plus it's kind of pointless having a car with a million horsepower when the fastest you can go is 60kph with loads of traffic.

So what do the locals buy if they want a sports car? Do they buy European cars?

At first glance I thought: Hey look a reasonably priced Liana! But then it turned out I was wrong. I always liked all these little runarounds because they are fun even when you`re going slow. It`s just fun revving small petrol engines.

What? No Toyota Mega Cruiser?

http://www.cars-directory.net/pictures/toyota/mega_cruiser/pic_toyota_mega_cruiser_15174.jpg

just kidding.

Looks like a fun little car, but that transmission looks like a bit of a drag.


edit. looked at the pics again. How long is it? It looks really small.
