1999 SWIFT - Getting around while getting ahead.

Whether you're cruising to college on a shoe-string budget or working hard all week toward that well-deserved raise, the Suzuki Swift is a great choice.  It's the perfect blend of reliability, economy and value. And it's downright fun to drive.

The responsive 16-valve, 1.3 liter, overhead-cam, fuel-injected engine handles daily commutes and long trips with no sweat. And, with an EPA-estimated 39 mpg city and 43 mpg highway (manual transmission), quick stops at the gas station are few and far between.

Unexpected extras like tinted glass and full wheel-covers give the Swift a sporty finish you'll love. Optional air conditioning keeps those hot summer days in check. And the fold-down rear seat expands the cargo area for hauling a cooler and chairs to the lake or stocking up on refreshments and party goods for your big weekend. Dual front-impact airbags (SRS), daytime running lights and 3-point front/rear seatbelts are on the safety menu, as are front and rear crumple zones and side-impact door beams.

If you're looking for a dependable car with a trustworthy reputation, you need look no further than the reliable, fun-loving Suzuki Swift.

Of course, the most important standard feature is reliability. Suzuki backs the Swift with a limited 36 month/36,000 mile warranty. No deductible? No problem. Any repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship will be made with no charge for parts or labor. Body parts are covered for 36 months and unlimited mileage against perforation due to corrosion. Even the battery and tires have warranty coverage.

Peace of mind doesn't stop there. The Swift comes standard with many critical safety features, including driver and front passenger airbags, three-point seatbelts front and rear, daytime running lights, powerful halogen headlamps, and power-assisted brakes.

All the result of more than 40 years of constant engineering refinement. And all in a sleek package that looks like it costs a lot more.
