2021 Suzuki Swift Sport: The 'Nimble Thimble'

2021 Suzuki Swift Sport: The 'Nimble Thimble'

In the news this week, we discuss Vietnamese carmaker VinFast's consideration of an IPO in the U.S., the World Car Person of the Year, Akio Toyoda, and two new SUVs worth around RM250k - the all-new 2021 Toyota Harrier, and the entry-level BMW X3 sDrive 20i. 

In Part 2, we look at the odd introduction of the BMW 330Li and the RM2.25 million ultimate Porsche 911 - the Turbo S. In our car review, Daniel gives his first impressions of the new-to-Malaysia Suzuki Swift Sport 1.4 Boosterjet. Priced at RM140,000, it may be seem expensive, but it's a small, sporty and excitable hatchback that ticks every enthusiast's box.
