Suzuki’s basic and aging Swift+ remains unchanged for 2010, but still provides transportation if needed. The 2009 facelift gave the little Suzuki a smiley face with the corporate logo as a nose. Too cute. The 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine produces 106-hp and uses either a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Base models are sparsely equipped, but four will fit comfortably. Cargo area is average.

 

Pros

Basic transportation

Cons

Not much else
