Swift comes as a 5 door and 1.5 VVT, thats what wife uses for her Driving School, quiet quick enough as well. Lets put it this way I drive a Saab all week, love it to bits (No Probs if its not everybodies cup of tea and its Diesel). On weekend drive the swift, very good. Try one mate

I have issues with 5 doors, just a personal thing but I think a car looks sportier with 3 and as we have no kids I want to stick to 3 doors. What is it with them anyway....is it because there is a 3door sports GTi coming out this year?

not sure whats coming out but our dealer had a sporty little on in their showroom. I'm the same about 5 doors as well for the same reason!

Good luck in getting a new motor

ok then, there are 2 cars with same 1.5 toyota engine - both sold a 3 door. 1) toyota yaris Tsport [new model yaris out so might get a bargain] 2) suzuki ignis sport [once these are sold out expect a 3 door 1.5 swift perhaps]

another 3 door one out there for £10K is the hyundai getz 1.6 sport

I know what you mean about the 3 door/5 door thing pumpkin. I'm a bit frustrated that the Daihatsu Charade isn't offered in top spec (air con & alloys, etc) in a cheaper 3 door body. After all they spent £££s on R & D for 3 door body presses...so why don't they offer it as a choice. And a successor to the GTti would be excellent.

Re: The Swift - I think there will be a 1.5 litre (GTi?) 3 door version soon
