I need to experience that wheelbase with 16 valves and DOHC (even if it is a 1.3...right?)! Looks so fun, even though it's not very visibly different from a Geo Metro or Daihatsu Charade. I love this, black steelies are perfect.
Wow... I test drove one of these in 1989 and really thought about it. Held out a few months and bought a Miata in Sept of 89 instead. Still have the 90 Miata, and I'd still have the Suzuki if I'd have gone with it. It was a cool little screamer.

this is 1992-1994. the 89-91 had different tailights, bumpers (front and rear) and in 89 only, the swift GT was called GTi.
Nice pocket rocket ;)
Imagine taking this thing on an autocross course? Would be sick!
That Swift GT/16V badge is absolutely class.
thanks for the tip, anon!

The little "i" made Volkswagen of America mad, supposedly. So this car "Swiftly" became a GT instead.
Black steelies are not bad, but the original factory wheels would have been a blacked-out set of Minilite lookalikes. Very rally-inspired.

The Suzuki cultus looked kinda like this but the only things that were changed was the tail lights
