DJ Kenny is right the older 1.0 turbo is 300-400lbs lighter and quicker then the 95 GT. I raced them both in SCCA, even my NA did extremely well with 185 Rs on it. The turbos did but out about 70HP.... But it was a full 70hp to the wheels, slightly underrated were easy to boost to about 100HP. Just saying....BV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15998983953475820040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-32815796718168835062012-11-16T23:12:19.090-08:002012-11-16T23:12:19.090-08:00Sprint turbo with its whopping 73 hp would get its...Sprint turbo with its whopping 73 hp would get its ass handed to it by a swift gt. That's a joke you think it could even compete with the swift. I have both cars and I laughed at your comment.

It was a nice handling, solid little car... no comparison in terms of speed though. My 3 cylinder even lighter weight Sprint would blow the doors off it. But the handling was hands down better, likely more to do with the larger wheels and tires compared to my Sprints silly small 12" 155 R 12's.DJ Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441985836505592514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-57634358318973945752010-09-29T09:18:59.033-07:002010-09-29T09:18:59.033-07:00Great car!

I love the design: clean lines, simple shapes, easy to park, very good. The squared and long taillight is a great 80's reference.<br /><br />In my country (Brazil), only few units came from independent import during the years of 1992 and 1995. Unfortunately, here people prefer the VW's and Fiat's low-cust trash cars than the great japanese rocket-pockets, like the Swift GT. <br /><br />I found a 1993 5-door hatchback with the 1.0 3 cylinder engine in a used car dealer and I want to buy it... It's hard to find a car like Swift in good condition nowadays. It's like a rare jewelry! <br /><br />Thank you for the post!

I've always liked them. I remember wanting a new one back in high school. One of these days I'll pick one up. There's one for sale out here in Portland, and it's been available for a while.Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-60282083660138795852008-11-18T16:27:00.000-08:002008-11-18T16:27:00.000-08:00I was looking for one of these back in 2001 to rep...I was looking for one of these back in 2001 to replace my '93 Metro- naturally, I couldn't find one anywhere feasibly near me.
