What is the reason for wanting a new car? Just because out of warranty or some other reason?

AFAIK, you can extend Suzuki warranty if you want (I did when I had Suzuki).

I was wanting Cruise control and a Hybrid Engine also as it would suit my needs.

You may find that a short wait for the new car is due to you wanting a spec that is already 'in the country'. If you are looking for an unusual combo of spec and colour, I,e, factory order, that may take longer.

Also, I take it you are aware that the Swift is a 'mild hybrid'?. This means it won't run on electric power alone. Though going by a What Car video I watched re the Ignis mild hybrid, it was still usefully more efficient than the non-mild hybrid version.

One last thing, Suzuki's are very reliable, so I wouldn't be giving the car up because you worry something will break on it. This is very unlikely!

Oh my Step Mum has owned a Suzuki for 6 years and only one thing has gone wrong with it. Mine hasn't had one issue apart from the Tire Wall being heavily damaged. That's why I wanted to stick with them reliability wise. Think the idea just excites me getting the brand new one as I feel it's a realistic opportunity at the moment. That is a thought with the waiting time if I want a specific one so thank you for that I'll try and enquire more about it. And I didn't want a fully electric but hybrid seemed like the perfect mix for me.

I had a last gen swift.( 4x4 model) utterly superb in every respect, had more cornering talent than I had!

currently got a Vitara..2 months old today, brilliant car.

Please be aware all new Suzuki are on a 3-4 month lead time and they will no.longer have features such as sat nav, android/ Apple play etc due to the current chip shortage, we got lucky and got one of the last full fat cars available.

Edit: The Suzuki hybrid system is brilliant btw , gives a real kick in the pants when it kicks in.

Ouch after having a good look at the market suddenly new cars are looking less attractive especially if they're missing features that come standard in most modern cars. But agreed the Suzuki car range is underated by many, I love how the cars are so easy and fun to drive like go-carts almost. I'll see what the dealerships want to sell me see if new cars are worth it in current times.
