West Herr Suzuki name is excited to announce the return of the Suzuki Swift for Buffalo Suzuki customers.

In the past few months of this year, small-car sales have shot up as car buyers are seeking ways to save at the pump. However, Buffalo Suzuki customers are still looking for that element of fun, which makes the Suzuki Swift the perfect car!

Fact is, a small, economical hatchback is “all” the car most Buffalo drivers need most of the time. The 2011 Suzuki Swift for sale near Buffalo is a practical car that addresses what consumers really need: simple transportation. As an added bonus, the Swift strokes a few of our wants, too-it’s downright adorable, a complete hoot to drive, and available with some of the toys from the big boys. Things like steering-wheel-mounted radio controls, keyless entry, air conditioning, and power windows aren’t real needs, but they’re features many of us really want in a new car.

Buffalo Suzuki Fans Ready for Return of Suzuki Swift

The first three generations of the Swift were sold from 1984 through 2001, occasionally badged as Chevrolets and Geos, Sprints and Metros. They offered remarkable fuel economy, their window stickers promising as high as 53 mpg in the city and 58 mpg on the highway. The fourth-generation Swift was not sold in the United States, but luckily an all-new fifth-generation model will return with the Swift nameplate to the States in 2010!

The current Swift has been on sale around the world since 2004. It’s almost fourteen inches shorter than the new Honda Fit but more than two inches longer than a Mini Cooper. Four adults can ride comfortably, and because the Swift is a hatchback, its back seats fold down, creating a large, usable cargo space.

The Swift will be offered for Buffalo Suzuki drivers with a choice of four-cylinder engines displacing 1.3, 1.5, or 1.6 liters. The high-revving, cammed-out 1.6-liter powers the Swift Sport, and with 123 hp arriving at a lofty 6800 rpm, it isn’t messing around. Even the 100-hp 1.5-liter is, well, swift. It has a meaty torque curve thanks to variable valve timing, and short gearing helps the Swift feel even quicker than its ten-second 0-to-60-mph time suggests.

Fun Efficiency for Buffalo Suzuki Drivers

In fact, if there’s one thing that the Swift is, it’s fun. Driving it reminds you that light cars can have authentically light controls without the need for feedback-numbing assist systems tuned to overboost to compensate for a heavier vehicle’s heft. It reminds you how much fun we used to have behind the wheel.
