How about Suzuki Swift 1.5?

How about Suzuki Swift 1.5? Compared with the 1.3-liter G13B, this inline 4-cylinder all-aluminum engine has fundamental improvements in technology and performance. DOHC dual overhead camshafts already dominate the intake and exhaust systems respectively. The VVT ??marked on the outside of the car is not in vain. The intake timing can be continuously adjusted. Therefore, the intake system provides maximum cooperation within the entire engine speed range, and the power, economy and emission performance at each stage are effectively improved. Looking at the technical parameters announced by the manufacturer, the maximum power of 76kW and the peak torque of 138Nm are quite good. Whether it is a manual or automatic model, the power has been significantly improved. Increase the accelerator and let the tachometer needle rush to 5000rpm. The original 1.3 was already hoarse and unable to cope with its efforts, but now the excitement of the engine can easily maintain the high speed of 6000rpm until the automatic transmission completes the upshift. For manual transmission models, the feeling of power is more exciting. Without the fetters and constraints, you can go all the way into the red zone starting at 6400rpm. Around 6800rpm, the engine will scold you for your rudeness with a rhythmic fuel cutoff warning. . In fact, there is no need to push its limits. You can easily experience the sensitive throttle response and smooth speed-up during daily driving. The manual transmission model has made great progress in terms of driving feel. The original clutch of the 1.3 model was too light and the engagement point was too low to catch. Even experienced hands could easily stall. Now the clutch feels much better and the engagement position is clearer. It’s so much easier to drive. The 4-speed automatic transmission from Aisin is also good. Although it is not technically as good as the CVT, it works very well with the 1.5-liter engine, and the shift timing and quality are just right. In addition, the stepped gearbox is also very practical. It clearly distinguishes the positions of D, 3, 2, and L. When needed, you can flexibly switch between the various restricted gears and use it as a manual transmission. The box is quite easy to use. How does it feel to control? In daily driving, the Swift is light and easy to control, making it a very docile car. The electric steering system is very light and agile, a little erratic compared to the SX4, but its ability to correct is stronger than that of the Fit. In addition, when turning the steering wheel sharply and quickly when turning around, there will occasionally be a sense of resistance, which is not as smooth as the hydraulic steering. However, I remember that the Swift 1.3 I came into contact with before did not have the very tough suspension now. The semi-independent trailing arm rear suspension will make a banging sound when passing through small seams on the road. Will ladies like it? The Swift's driving pleasure is truly reflected when you enjoy the corners on the mountain road. This seemingly petite and feminine model actually has quite outstanding sports talent. On continuous sharp bends that require quick reassembly, the short and compact car has a high control limit. The front and rear suspensions provide strong support, and the balanced and stable body posture makes people confident. The tail occasionally slips, and through sensitive and precise steering It's also easy to control. Swifts performed well in the 2006 and 2007 World Youth Rally Championship (JWRC). Without a certain sports foundation, modification alone is not enough. The value of such a distinctive small car has been refined again through the upgrade of the power system.
