BadHans: Try to laugh buddy. I lived in your country (Prague) for 3 months and loved it. You forgot Škoda. They even make a little turd car called the Yeti. I love light cars or I would not have watched this video. Still, they need to deliver performance. As far as fuel economy, my wife's Civic gets similar mpg or liters per 100KM, but has 140 HP = 104 KW. Better fuel economy or higher performance will win many over to these small cars. BTW: the US has many LARGE SUVs and trucks (death trap).

@moc87544 Ok then, I still don't see what's your problem. Any small car is not very safe in collision with full size truck, that's clear, but I tested these car in europe, not in US. Did you drive Swift Sport or Panda 100 HP? They DO deliver. They don't need hundreds of HP, because they're light. And as far as Yeti goes - I don't like small SUV's in general, but that car is seriously good - quite capable in light terrain (not that many will go there) and very good at blacktop. Almost as hatch.

Translation: In my country... We only have 2 choices: turd 1 or turd 2

After long test drive, we find both cars suck and are death traps.

@moc87544 not even very funny ;) In my country, we have couple of Veyrons, several Zondas, countless Ferraris, Lambos and Porsches. But as in every country, some (most) people have limited resources. And Swift in particular doesn't suck one iota and is not any death trap either. It's safe and very fun to drive. All this obsession with big buck, big horsepower cars has it's downsides, too. Try to drive some very light car (eg. Lotus Elise mk1, as I did this weekend) and you'll see what I mean.

God know's what he was saying but it's kinda fun trying to work it out.

I think he says the Fiat isn't as fast, doesn't handle as well and doesn't look as good as the swift. But is more functional?

But i'm pretty sure this video isn't Italian. Sounds a bit like it sometimes but I think eastern Europe, perhaps Slovakia?

[BadHans]

Good, you nearly hit it. I'm Czech, that's almost identical language. What I said: Fiat is cheaper, has better six-speed gearbox and immensely fun chassis. I'd rather have Suzuki, thoug. It's more mature car, and as I'm quite tall, I'm not so crammed in. Swift's chassis is huge laugh on the B-road, but it can cope with everyday city drive, too. The only problem is very short 5speed gearbox, which means every highway blast is VERY noisy and pricey.

Give the 1.4 T-jet 120Hp from the grande punto, and the Swift would lost I guess.

i like both those cars

I have a '08 Panda 100HP with 16" Borbets. It corners very good. It's all a matter of daring, I guess. Both cars will be cheap future classics. New Swift looks not that good, let's see what the new Panda will be like at the end of 2011.
