A Suzuki Swift 2019 that I love because I get, currently with all this rain, 19.1km to the litre and believe me I send it. Faerie Glen to Bryanston on ave 28min in the morning. Makes no sense to buy a expensive car doing 114Km a day.
The Suzuki Swift Auto is totally different to the manual and I would never buy a auto under 2.5Ltr in any event.
