Vaya tostón dd vídeo colega, anda y dedícate a otra cosa, MUERMO.
At least you've got video evidence to document the start of your financial ruin 😂
Got the spreadsheet too, just for extra effect LOL Thanks for your help and general 'shoulder to cry on' support too
I had a race red mk 7. 2013 factory demo. Made 166kw in overboost. And normal boost 147kw. (Not 134kw as per spec.) 0-100kph = 6.9sec. 1/4 mile - 14.95 sec /162 kph. Very serious statement of an car. Bang for buck. RSA.
Definietly are a lot of car for the money especially nowadays in the UK with the heavy market crash on cars, it's a bargain! Thanks for watching Phillip!
The a3 is the only other hatch that comes with the vr6 besides the golf r32 so I guessed it straight away
Could of been a Morris Minor converted by Steve 🤣👍🏼
Good vid, but not really a general review, its pure you're own taste, and its obvious you dislike it.
I did like the Kuga actually, just elements I don't like and other cars in its class do better, every car has pros and cons Thanks for watching!
@@PocketRockets i see, but as an viewer you instantly get the message, thats what i actually ment. I really like you're vid tho and thanks for the reply, keep it up and i'll keep watching :).
Thank you 👍
Thanks for the advice, I am now waiting on delivery
Congrats on the purchase, great little cars! Keep us posted once it arrives Thanks for watching Karl!
Great little car. Their only issue is the paint suffers badly from stone chipping. I hope Suzuki addresses this issue.
Think this is the case for many B segment vehicles on the market these days, Ford are known for this especially on my ST180 - the paint is paper thin 👎🏼 Thanks for watching!
@@PocketRockets I've been lucky enough to have picked up a Swift Sport (hybrid) this week and I'm having a vinyl wrap put on the bonnet to protect it, as the standard Swift I traded was peppered with stone chips in this area.
Good shout! It's a shame to do it but for long term ownership it's well worth it
Would you pick i20 or swift ?
That's a very good question, I'd initially say the i20 for better refinement and choice overall But then you look at price/affordability between them both and Swift takes the i20N by a country mile Both fantastic cars for the money but if money was no object - i'd say i20 Thanks for watching!
I’m not too into sports cars but I must say I’ve got an attraction to this one specifically, especially with that 2.0L engine.
Not really a sports car, classed as a hot hatchback but yes I agree the 2.0 duratec is a great power plant 👍🏼 Thanks for watching
@@PocketRockets Aye, it was a great presentation.
Ive got the fiesta st line x edition 155 and its sweeeeet
Yeah it's great! Shame the Fiesta is no longer in production 😢 Thanks for watching Jake
It is (was) a great car, I would be buying the pre-facelift. That grille looks as if it came from a transit.
I agree the prefacelift looks better, the facelift suits the Focus more so than the Fiesta But at least picking a prefacelift makes even more sense financially too 👍🏼 Thanks for watching Simon
@@PocketRockets No problem, thanks for the great video.
Should never have been built!! Absolutely shithouse ! The laser kq series was better !!
Interesting you say that, I seem to see this response quite often regarding the Mk4 Focus ST - what experiences have you had with it? Thanks for watching Peter
It was great to watch. I am planning to buy it as my first car. Considering its age, it still looks fresh
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video! The Mk6 is definietly becoming a modern classic, worth a buy before they get unattainable in the future!
Hi guys, thanks for the great content.. Please review the new Focus ST with "Track Pack" i think it's worth it
Thank you for watching! I've done some content already with the latest generation Focus ST even a twin test with a ST and i30N together on our joint channel @ThoseTwoCarGuys 💪🏽
@@PocketRockets thanks for your reply I actually watched all your vids on Focus ST, but the new "Track Pack" on the latest ST is a massive upgrade that will completely change how the car drives. I highly recommend you check it out..
Just upgraded to a mk8.5 ST 3door model in race red with all options, after having my white mk7.5 ST215 for 7 years. I miss the mk7.5 a lot after driving for so long, but love everything about the 8.5 it’s been fantastic so far. The seats and the exhaust sound are definitely my favourite changes, along with the modern interior. I’ll give it another few months then go for the mountune m235 after the first service.
I think this comment best sums up what I'm describing in the video Both cars have their strengths and weaknesses. Those looking for a more comfortable car tend to favour the MK8, often overlooking the good aspects of the Mk7.5, but hey everyone's opinions are different (which is fine) Congrats on the purchase, Steve! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Instant classic
Thanks for watching! 😎
great points, i get my first bmw in a couple of weeks yes its the 335d xdrive m sport touring, really looking forward to the experience
You'll love it. I still miss mine and, in some ways, regret parting with it, even now when I have an M140i. Thanks for watching, Dave!
You have to hope they develop slightly more powerful versions of thevengine, the interior is a bit of an upgrade and they have thrown a bit of equipment and tech at it to also comply eith new regs. Good news driving as per the old model will involve keeping momentum going through the bends we like our SZL quite a lot.
Hey Anthony, thanks for stopping by to watch and share your thoughts on the video & the Swift I can't see Suzuki producing any other variants of engine choice - as mentioned in other comment thread, I'm surprised to see Suzuki are still making the Swift with the way the car industry is crazily killing of the small car (thought we was all meant to be more environmental aware) But I'm hoping we see a Swift Sport arrive as the platform is great, especially the value for money too As I said in the video, the car is more of freshen up from the previous generation rather than a full redesign (again, the killing off of small cars) so it's the case of would you rather Suzuki kill the Swift off or continue to produce a small sporty car attainable for a larger mass of people? Again, thanks for watching and getting involved in the comments section 😀 👍🏼 All the best
Waiting for our flame Orange ultra to turn up ... delivery July :)
Great colour choice, congrats Anthony - enjoy! Thanks for watching
Great vid man but here are my thoughts. I have the previous model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks lie a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical, with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model a few weeks back I can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model,and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine.
Hey Killian, thanks for stopping by the channel and watching! I understand your points, and I agree. I didn't feel like I was truly experiencing a new Swift, mainly because the car itself hasn't changed much apart from the looks and engine platform. The rest of the car really follows its predecessor's design. I haven't driven a 1.0 Boosterjet in a while (probably about 3-4 years ago), so I can't recall the engine characteristics for a direct comparison. On paper, it does seem like a step backwards. However, to Suzuki's credit, they continue to support (in my opinion) a very important automotive segment (small cars) while many manufacturers are going "green" by producing oversized, overpriced, and short-ranged vehicles. For existing owners of the previous Swift, I'd suggest holding onto their current car unless they need an upgrade and want to stay within the Swift platform. Again, appreciate your time commenting! All the best
I bought this 20years, months ago in white colour and still not driving it yet but before I own MK7.5 Special edition and that Akrapovic exhaust when upshifting sounds much better , I think this petrol particular filter on 20years make this sound ugly
Im getting one soon 🎉
Woooo! You'll love it 👌🏼
Good video mate, I hope you're able to get one for a week!
Thanks pal! I hope so 🙏🏼
This car absolutely destroys the mk 7
In what sense?
@@PocketRockets performance.. Interior.. better looking .. I had a mk7.5 St overated car imo
Fair enough, all personal opinion Both good cars, with pros and cons 👍🏼 Thanks for watching!
@PocketRockets Yeah mk 7 is an awesome car in its own rite but I think the mk8 and 8.5 are much better cars 👍
They don't weigh 1088kg they are 1163kg
1088kg is dry weight but yes Kerb weight is 1163 Regardless, the ST180 wins Thanks for watching
Skill issues...
Ok expert.
I got same car wooo st3 mean green
Wooo! Mean Green 💚 Thanks for watching Richard 👍🏼
I’ve owned ST 7.5,8 and 8.5. The 8 and 8.5 are hugely better than the 7.5 in every way-performance, comfort, economy etc. Used them all for several years as daily drivers. Massively disappointed that Ford discontinued the ST Fiesta when they just perfected it. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
I am looking at changing my a5 coupe to the following cars a 2023 Audi s5 vorsprung coupe or go with my first BMW a M240i with all the options which one would you go for
Well I now have a M140i, so I'd probably edge more towards a M240i, a lot of car for the money along with a great platform for tuning and modifying with aftermarket parts Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Sorry, I drive one and I would not call it an S model. No emotions and the diesel sound remind me of any other diesel car, and I just don’t like the diesel sound. S5 diesel is only for Europe, outside the Europe you can buy with petrol engine 👍
Fair enough, that's your view! A diesel no matter characteristics, it won't be as smooth as an equivalent petrol engine plus Audi did do a petrol version of the S5 in Europe (especially in the UK) Thanks for watching
I'm picking mine up tomorrow
Congrats Gavin, what colour is yours ?
How many rpm does it go at 60 mph? Thanks
Not sure, sorry! Thanks for watching
Have you already replaced your 335d? I'm in the same boat
I did indeed, mainly due to market being strong during "WokeDown" plus my PCP was up and was forced with mileage charges so managed to escape with positive equity too but then went mad and bought a M140i instead over a year ago now 🤣👍🏼 In hindsight, I prefer the 335d just a better all rounder apart from the missing sound/charcater I get from the 140 I'd personally still have a 335d over the Audi, more so the G80 340d (if budget allows) for you Thanks for watching
Thanks! You confirmed my suspicion
@bartmulder6995 No worries pal, thanks for watching
Will this code auto fold mirrors when locking the car on 2016 f31 35d? The car does have the button to manually fold them.

@@MrRhall2k mate I’ve had it for a month and haven’t had a single bad memory, fucking love this thing
@@requiem-ph5xx myy goddd the powerr is insaane 😆 🤣 😂 lovin ittt also afraid to use launch control lol
@@MrRhall2k already looking at mapping it
Driven both a puma and a kuga and I can say that, at least for me, the agility of the puma sets it apart from the kuga and the added boot space and bigger cockpit space set it apart from the fiesta. Also didn't mind the steering rack, a heavier feeling would've been nice but never had an issue with feel or precision
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, nice to get some constructive/friendly opinions for once 👍 All the best
I was wondering if you could find Bud me fiesta auto / 5 door Budget 19-15 k
I'm barely a UA-camr, what makes you think I'm a Car Sales man too lol Where are you based?
Hi ,how do I turn off the eco mode in my car I’m a new ignis driver and I can’t see a button for it . Thank you !! Lovely video 😊
No idea, can't recall them having an Eco driving mode, it's more a menu to monitor how you drive Just toggle through your menu using the steering wheel controls to change the menu you want to view

That popping sound may be cool but it's actually hard on the motor
They are programmed snap crackle and pops. A bit girly really. Not like the lean pops of old
Not everyone's cuppa of tea, but beats an EV for character 👍
What do you think of this model car as a used example, is this worth it as a occasion?
As all I can say is Suzukis are known for their excellent reliability, so as long as you're buying a looked after example (full service history etc) it'll do the job of A to B absolutely fine Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
@@PocketRockets aha thank you!
Had the st150 and now have the st180. The 150 put a smile on my face each and every time I drove it. The 180, I've had to bring it up to a stage 2 to make it anywhere near as enjoyable to drive. I'd love another 150
Do it mate! Join the movement of collecting Fiestas like me 👍🏼🤣 Thanks for watching!
Just too sarky … even when you were being positive … it sounded negative.
