The 2018 Suzuki Swift petrol is a reliable, economical city car with a well-proven 1.2L naturally aspirated engine. It's affordable to maintain, parts are inexpensive, and it has a solid reputation for longevity when serviced regularly. Excellent value for money as a second-hand purchase, though not particularly exciting to drive.
