Find out what else Carol gets up to in her classy and reliable ride. ### Tell us a little bit about yourself? I am currently living in Hamilton. I’m semi-retired and am passionate about my family. Also love the beach so nip out to Raglan often. ### Is this your first new car? This is the first brand new car I have ever owned and I love it. ### Why did you choose Suzuki over other brands? Suzuki have an affordable brand new price and a 5-star safety rating. It was always going to be a Suzuki. ### What do you love about your Suzuki? The Swift is a smallish car, but very roomy inside. It's easy to park, zippy around town and awesome on the open road with all the safety features. I also love the keyless start and entry.  ### Why was your Suzuki Swift the right fit? Affordable, comfortable, reliable, and classy. ### How would you describe your Suzuki to a friend? Best thing I ever did. ### How has owning your Swift made a difference in your life? I feel much safer on the road and it’s economical. ### Have you got a nickname or pet name for your Suzuki and why? No but I do call the direction lady (Sat nav) Sheila. ### How do you use the car day to day? Mostly around town doing messages and picking up my grandchildren from school every day. ### Describe the experience you had buying your car? Very exciting and easy due to the knowledgeable and helpful staff. All in all my experiences with the dealership have been positive. ### What's some advice you would give to someone looking to buy a car? I would definitely recommend a visit to the local [Suzuki dealership](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/small-cars/find-a-dealer). When I am ready to upgrade I will be going to my local Suzuki dealership to be advised about electric or hybrid models.   ### Book a test drive ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/suzukinz/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/suzukinz/) - [LinkedIn](https://nz.linkedin.com/company/suzuki-new-zealand-ltd) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/SuzukiNewZealand/) - Toggle subnav - [SUVs](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/suvs) - [Small Cars](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/small-cars) - [Hybrid Cars](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/hybrid-cars) - [Electric Cars](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/electric-cars) - [Offers](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/offers) - [Accessories](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/accessories/all/all/all) - [Why Suzuki](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/why-suzuki) - [Owners](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/owners/suzuki-warranty) - Toggle subnav - [Motorcycles](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/motorcycles) - [Farm & ATV](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/farm-atv) - [Marine](https://marine.suzuki.co.nz/) - Toggle subnav - [About Us](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/suzuki-life/about) - [News](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/suzuki-life/news) - [Partnerships](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/suzuki-life/partnerships) - [Events](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/suzuki-life/events) - [Blog](https://drive.suzuki.co.nz/blog) - Toggle subnav - [Contact Us](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/contact) - [Find Car Dealer](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/find-a-dealer) - [Book a Test Drive](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/test-drive) - [Download Brochure](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/brochures) - [Finance Calculator](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/finance-calculator) - [Finance Application](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/apply-for-car-finance) - [Get a Quote](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/cars/get-a-quote) © 2026 Suzuki New Zealand [Privacy Policy](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/privacy-policy)  /  [Terms of Use](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/terms-of-use)
