Swift Sport 1.6 and the normal 1.5

[audiolizard]

so its very obivious that the Suzuki Swift Sport 1.6 and the price between that 1.5 spec are like almost 25-30k for a brand new car.
its a very huge amount for me. but i wanted to know that for that price range, what about the performance between these 2?

how big is the different between the 1.6 sport version and the original 1.5 swift?

In Msia, the 1.6 is CBU from Japan, 1.5 is CKD. The 1.6 is manual or auto; 1.5 is only auto. The 1.6 only drinks RON97 and above petrol.
You shall test drive both of them. The handling and agility are quite good.

no, what i need to know is the performance between this 2 different spec,
so is there any big different since the price is very different. or its just expensive just because its import from japan?

There is quite a significant amount of performance difference. The best way is test drive both, especially the manual 1.6.

I see. Well, of course the 2 cars have different hp, suspension etc.
The 1.6 can go from 0 to 100km/h in around 8 secs; the 1.5 does it in over 11secs. Now u get the picture?
The 1.6 has different suspension, wheels, seats apart from the bodykit, headlights etc difference.
Handling wise, i read a magazine write-up sometime last year that a JDM SSS can outrun a stock Fairlady 350Z on a B-road.
If you're really buying one of these 2, you shall test drive both to see the 1.6 is really worth the extra money.

The swift sports and the normal swift is quite different as the swift sports is build for more performance while the latter is only a normal hatch. Although both has good handling but the swift sports has a better/stiffer suspension and better brakes. The swift sports is better equipped with sports seats and 16" rims and twin exhaust pipes but all these are minor issues since there are aftermarket products to be sought after.

Main difference is the chassis, in the swift sports, the chassis is enhanced as compared to normal version and also it has a much better platform for modification as it comes in manual. If you are just looking for a normal hatch and maybe the looks, take the normal swift but if performance is what you are looking for, then swift sports is definitely between the 2. i hope these can help clarify your doubts.

ps: i forgot to add that it has 6 airbags compared to 2 from the 1.5A and also you might want to check out this video from fifth gear on youtube about the SSS: YouTube - Suzuki Swift
