Comparison of Pros & Cons
Pros
  • Pekan-built 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk8 is now CKD and almost RM10k cheaper than the outgoing Mk7 GTI
  • Still the best Jack-of-all-trades of the hot hatchback world, and perhaps even in the entire automotive world
  • Sleeker design cleverly hides the fact that the new GTI is actually a larger vehicle

  • Ride and Handling- Based on Suzuki’s new HEARTECT platform which offers strengthened chassis rigidity, high speed and cornering stability is greatly improved. While not as poised as the Ford Fiesta ST, it holds itself well in the bends and rides effortlessly though bumps and road imperfections.

  • Performance- 142 PS from a turbocharged 1.4 litre engine may not seem extraordinary these days, but pair that with a lightweight body of just 970 kg (same as Perodua Myvi 1.3 AT), you get yourself a nimble and agile performer.

  • Styling- To the untrain eye, the Suzuki Swift Sport appears to be a sporty 3-door hatchback thanks to the ‘Stealth’ rear door handles which are cleverly tucked near the rear quarter window. Blacked out A and B pillar coupled with the kink on the C pillar gives that desirable floating roof effect. While the carbon fibre trims may be fake, the dual chrome exhaust definitely are not.

Cons
  • The side mirrors are, highly perplexingly, not foldable, not even manually
  • In a bit to declutter the interior for a minimalistic ambience, VW has chosen form and sacrificed too much of function
  • Synthesising and piping engine noises into the cabin after silencing the actual noise from the exhaust is just silly

Read More
  • Safety Features- The lack of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) such as Autonomous Emergency Braking on the car at this price point is inexcusable. The safety feature in the Suzuki Swift Sport is rudimentary at best.

  • Price- At RM 139,900, the Suzuki hatchback is simply not priced competitive enough to go up against its rivals in Malaysia. To put things in perspective, a Peugeot 208 GTi is about RM8000 cheaper but with 68 more horsepower and 70 NM more torque.

  • Practicality- Space has never been the Suzuki Swift’s strongest suit and it is no different with the Sport. Back seat space is cramp, and you will find yourself struggling fitting 3 adults abreast at the back partly due to the curved in roofline on either side.
