A real story just happened few weeks back. Cucuked by a T number plate blue swift (believed is swift sport or engine touched). Outside fairly stock. 180km/h at most karak highway can't even pull it away. Respect to the driver. End up with I have to downshift after corners then can start pull away a bit at 190-200km/h on short straight road and start maintain the increment after 210km/h. When reach the police hot spot then I have to slow down and let it passed. CRZ pending of faith. Never under estimate a swift sport. Exit cornering speed at 160-170km/h looks like not so difficult. I believe straight road can go for at least 190km/h cuz it can maintain the distance at 180km/h (GPS speed) and slowly close up the distance.

But if you ask me which one to buy, then definitely CRZ cuz not 'too' overpriced like other cars due to the tax policy on hybrid cars.

I believe as for Honda CR-Z it will have lots of performance upgrades if compare to Swift.
Swift Sports is indeed not a car to be looked down at, but I still will go for CR-Z cuz is Honda
and more performance upgrades can be done to improve it further...

Though K20A in a CR-Z seems mouth-watering but not many can afford that transplant or would
sacrifice their new engine for it. Depends on individual preference at the end of the day.

What car were you driving?

I guess he is driving CR-Z since he mentioned real story experienced with swift sports

Modded CR-Z? I thought stock CR-Z has speed limiter/rev cut at 180km/h?

CRZ didnt have speed limiter, FYI.

Really? An CR-Z owner friend told me otherwise...

Thanks for sharing the story....
I what i know is swift sport in Malaysia only come with Pearl White and yellow...
Maybe the blue swift tailgate you is the modded normal swift...unlikely is from Singapore Swift sport since the plate no. starting with "T"..
And CRZ for me definitely is a fantastic car...!!

Why not the new 2012 Swift Sport?
I assume it's still cheaper then the CRZ?

134 bhp
160 nm
1070 kg
6 speed MT

Bro...So far Suzuki malaysia didn't have any news for the new swift sport and don't know will bring over to Malaysia .or not..
