Suzuki’s Swift Tours New Zealand
What a great idea! Who wouldn’t want to participate in Suzuki’s PR introduction of its newest offspring, the Swift, to New Zealand and the world? As Charlotte and Alanah have toured cross country in this new car, visiting places such as Auckland, Whitianga, Tauranga, and Rotoura, it has been obvious from the start that they have really enjoyed showcasing this Suzuki newcomer.
The Swift appeals to women particularly because of its improved safety systems, including additional air bags (7 and ESC), braking systems (ABS with EBD and BA) and traction control. The higher strength steel throughout the vehicle (TECT) is also reassuring. Mothers in particular appreciate the child safety features including a secure restraint system and child proof rear lock doors. The Swift is a flexible vehicle for multi-purpose use, a feature not loss on today’s busy women. With rear fold or raised seats, this little vehicle can transport a lot of awkward packages. Excellent fuel mileage and on-road handling are just two more reasons to love this little workhorse.
The Swift is going to be extremely popular with young people as well, as Charlotte and Alanah have already demonstrated. It is small enough to be sporty, but powerful enough to get you where you want to go. Edgy colors add to the stylish, fun look. Its USB iPod connectivity is important to today’s younger drivers and the quality CD stereo with MP3 is practically a must. In the Swift, it is a standard feature as are the 4–6 speakers. Young people also appreciate how far they can drive between fill-ups and how much space there is for all their gear – visit your local Suzuki dealer to test drive the Swift today.
TIPS FOR PICKING THE RIGHT CAR FOR YOUR CROSS COUNTRY TRIP
• Fuel mileage is really important when you plan to travel extensively. Choose a vehicle that can really go the distance without constant re-fueling stops. Charlotte and Alanah drove their Swift more than 600 km on a tank.
• Comfort is also key when you plan to spend long hours in a car seat. Look for a car with adjustable seats and leg room.
• Long distance traveling often means lots of luggage and/or supplies. There should be room for extras such as camera equipment, sporting gear and camping supplies.
• Look for excellent handling features for a variety of road and weather conditions. You will want to feel secure in the safety and manoeuvrability of your car.
