For automotive purists, sticking with a manual transmission is the way to go and anything with two pedals or less is considered sacrilege. But what if your only (official) option is an automatic gearbox, should you feel ashamed and let those purists clang the bells while calling shame on you? Well, in the case of the Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC33S), Suzuki’s Malaysian distributor, Naza Eastern Motors only offers the 6-speed automatic variant.

Let’s paint a scenario, you reverse your spanking new car into a parking lot, hopped out of your car and a good Samaritan came up to inform you that you’re missing a reverse light and strongly advice you to have it changed for safety reasons. FYI, there’s nothing wrong with your car. Because many cars are now equipped with 1 reverse light while the slot for the other light has been replaced with a rear fog lamp.

Not finding a parking spot is frustrating, but it’s not the reason why you can park whatever you want! (Picture credit: Foxnews) Fox News reported driver in Argentina parked his Peugeot 208 at a COTO supermarket in Temperley, Argentina. Supermarket employees then found the car parked in the wrong spot that night.
