I've read a bit about the new Swift over the last while, including what mcb100 had to say about it, and it seems more or less universally positive.

I'm glad to se Suzuki (ATM anyway) seem not to be jumping on the "bigger is always better" bandwagon with the Swift being pretty much exactly the same size as the outgoing model.

Its a while before we will be choosing our next car, but the new Swift is already on the shortlist!. Of course it will depend on what is available though Motability at the time though, which is the main reason we now have a Hyundai rather than a Swift or (another) Ignis.

Look forward to hearing how you find the car!

.... plenty of adjustment in the comfortable and supportive seat .......

Beats me why the seat stylists seem to go back to the drawing board in every new model. The seats in the Pug 205 (early 1980s) and the Fiat Punto (early 1990s?) were applauded in their time, but quite a few later designs weren't. By all means improve on the adjustments etc - but every time it goes back to what they look like in the cabin !! Or maybe a few centimetres of padding have been sacrificed to try to compensate for loss of space behind ?

Good to hear that Suzuki seem to have made a good 'un.

We test drove the old model (auto) in April and liked it very much. Seriously considered swapping the 2014 Roomster DSG. But herself really likes the Roomie and prefers to keep it while it's OK. There is no real successor to the Roomster.
