And there is the Sidekick, a freshâ€"faced, little puppy of a 4X4 designed mostly for grocery getting not mud plugging. With a minimum of fanfare, Suzuki widened the range of the Swift last year by adding a fourâ€"door sedan version along with a fourâ€"cylinder version of its fuelâ€"sipping (52 mpg) threeâ€"cylinder engine, this time 1.6â€"litres with single overhead cam, fuel injection and 92 willing horses under the frontâ€"drive hood. ‘"Your first feeling sliding into the cockpit of the sleek 1993 Suzuki Swift Sedan is that this is a luxury car," says the latest press release from Suzuki. Well it may not be a luxury car like the Lexus LS400 or even the Honda Accord EXâ€"R is, but the second part of the press release quote is not only true, but worth remembering. "The sophisticated interior appointâ€" ments, the generous legroom, the array of standard features give the illusion of a much larger and more more expensive vehicle." By JIM ROBINSON Special to the Beaver eing big at being little has Balways been the strength of Suzuki‘s automotive efforts, the firm having concentrated on the entry level market to the exclusion of all else. For most of us, Suzuki means funky little threeâ€"cylinder econoboxes like the Swift or it‘s Geo Metro clones formerly All Swift sedans come standard with rear defroster, trip meter, trunk light, intermittent front wipers, split seat backs, cargo floor carpet, front door pockets, front seat back pockets, rear heat duct, tinted glass, and dual outside mirrors. Hop into the Swift GL ) and you get digital clock, tach, power steering, remote trunk opener, remote fuel door, side mouldings, and rear mud flaps.

If you go for the fiveâ€"speed GLX, like this week‘s test car, you can put one on the road with all taxes paid for under fifteen grand something you can‘t do with very many 1993 fourâ€"door sedans no matter where they are made. The engine in the Swift sedan is a roarty little beast which takes to revving like a duck to water. Gear ratios are spaced out fairly equally across the rev range and that encourages up and down shifting to your heart‘s content. The power steering is quick and communicaâ€" tive. It allows you to feel the changes in the road surface, which on a little car which can really move, is needed. As seems to be the case on Japanese cars aimed at the budgetâ€"conscious, the quality of the tires is nowhere near the ability of the car. If you‘re buying one of these, get the dealer to install some wider, more proficient rubber. Gasoline mileage is tremendous. The GL and GLX have a Transport Canada rating of 5.6L/100 km (50 mpg) highâ€" way and 7.9L/100 km (36 mpg) city.

It was a joy to only fill the tank of the Swift twice in the period of a week. And all Suzuki models, including the sedan, come with a breakthrough car security alarm system call Suzuki Secure. Using radio instead of infrared, the system also has the "intelligence" to discern between real breakâ€"in attempts and "nonâ€"intrusive" events like an acciâ€" dental bump in the parking lot. The Suzuki Secure system also has a few extras uses such as a way to remoteâ€" ly start the alarm sounding to attract attention if the keyholder is concerned for her/his safety. Interior room is impressive with front seat travel more than adequate for the tallest North American driver, The heater/ventilation system demists winâ€" dows on dewy mornings swiftly and then sends out billows of heat. It‘s amazing to me how such tiny engines can move cars this quick, power radios and windows and whatnot, and still proâ€" vide everything from heat to (optional) air conditioning. So if you‘re looking for something under $15,000 which has room, plenty of go, and a touch of class, the Suzuki Swift fourâ€"door sedan might be just what you‘re after.
