    Very nice! I have a 2018 Swift GL, has been a fantastic little car. Fuel consumption is astonishing - I've been averaging just under 5L/100km.

    Darn that's light! My X3 2.0d on open road is 6.7 and in town 12. My ford ranger 4x4 is 16 in town and 11 on open roads. Maybe I just got a heavy foot!

    Oddly enough, it does worse on longer trips (for me at least) because I try to keep the average speed up around 125km/h. I manage the +-5L/100km because i'm usually puttering along at 115km/h. I haven't really split up the testing between town and highway, but the instant read does claim as low as 3.4L/100km on a decent, flat bit of highway with constant throttle and speed.

    It's a breathe of fresh air compared to my previous cars - I had a 2008 Subaru Forester that averaged 9L/100km, unless i stuck at 100km/h in which case it got 8L/100km. Before that was a 2005 Nissan 350Z, which while an amazing car, i only once got to average below 11L/100km, and that was a 400km drive stuck at 100km/h. It got 9L/100km

    I do like the red. If I wasn't in a rush at the time, i definitely would have waited for that rather than the gray i have now.

    Out of curiousity, does it have cruise control? I see the climate control and infotainment system are different to mine

    No Cruise control but 1.2 GLX cabin comes equipped with a leather-clad steering wheel, height-adjustable driver’s seat, automatic climate control and a keyless access system with Start/Stop button. The 7-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system offers voice command integration, full Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, Bluetooth and USB connectivity and also displays the image from the integrated reverse-view camera. lot to say had o pull info from site LOL. It also has Electrical folding mirrors and seats is very nice aswell warranty is 5 yr 200000km and maintenance plan is 5 yr 60000km.

    The height adjustable seat and Android Auto would be a delight. I only had a 2 year 30000km service plan, but also have the same warranty. Pity about the cruise control, seeing as the international models get it

    Got my new toy today after 13 years of not being on road bike. Totally different to my CBX1000, CBR929RR, RZ350, RZ500 and then RMX250.[​IMG][​IMG]
