Buying Tips for the 2012–2017 Suzuki Swift Sport (ZC32S)
- ✓Check second gear both cold and hot; some cars feel distinctly notchy or reluctant if the gearbox has had a hard life.

- ✓Inspect the bonnet and roof carefully because Suzuki paint is thin and stone chips can turn into surface rust if ignored.
