Hi there, I am looking at purchasing a used vehicle and am interested in the Suzuki Swift year 2006 - 2008. Is $6K-$7K a fair amount to pay and how good are these cars? I am after something economical and reasonably priced to repair if anything does go wrong. If you've got any suggestions for a good little runabout vehicle within the above price range, I would be very grateful. Thanks

Hi there,
The Swifts are a very popular choice, and definitely fit the description.
Other choices are Toyota Allex or Runx, Mazda Demio or Axela. Honda Fit are also very popular, but need the CVT transmission checking as they can have shudder issues, mostly can be sorted with a fluid flush and an additive. But can also b expensive to repair if more than this is required.
