Garry's yellow Suzuki Swift Sport fits perfectly into his life of golf, photography and volunteering. Continue reading to find out how this sporty hot hatch brightens up Garry's life.
I was born in the UK but emigrated to New Zealand with my parents & sister in the 60’s to Dunedin, where I have lived to this day. I really enjoy how laid back life is in Otago. By trade, I am an Aluminum Fabricator since leaving school, and in my spare time I enjoy playing golf at the Otago Golf Club, getting my camera out to take some pictures and volunteering as much as possible.
Have to say my Suzuki Swift Sport was as new to my first ever new car that I have ever owned, as it only had 4,500kms on the odometer and was in fantastic condition.
Having previously owned a 2010 Suzuki Swift Sport (which I had for nine years) I rated it one of the best ever cars I had owned, so was keen to purchase another when it came time to update my vehicle.
Everything about my Suzuki Swift Sport makes me so proud to own such a sporty hot hatch. From the bright yellow paintwork, flash mag wheels (which catch the eye), the tidy interior, black seats, as well as taking my golf clubs and gear easily too! Plus, after a good wash & polish I get so much enjoyment seeing it parked up when I go back to drive it again.
A bright yellow hot hatch which is so much fun to drive and looks a million dollars!
Actually, it was my sister who nicknamed my Suzuki Swift Sport “TWEETY”, after I took it out to show it off to her. And the name has stuck. I even bought a ‘TWEETY’ which now sits in the centre console.
Definitely. Still enjoying the single life. I get to enjoy driving such a sporty car, which is easy to park and performs like a dream on the road, especially when the turbo cuts in on the open road.
Having had two health issues back in 2020, including being diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic at the age of 59, my life was turned completely upside down. I was overjoyed to purchase my current yellow Suzuki Swift Sport as it completely brightened up my life.
Mainly to and from work but on weekends I take it up to the golf course or around town. Longest journey in the two years I have owned it was out to Dunedin Airport. Since being so new to diabetes, I am still learning to control my blood sugar levels and driving too.
Keen to sample the excellent sunshine over the weekend in Dunedin. I went for a drive out to St Clair Beach and enjoyed walking round to Second Beach whilst taking quite a few photos.
Having previously owned manual vehicles, I was unsure about purchasing my yellow Suzuki Swift Sport as it was an automatic. Then a long term friend and ex car-salesperson volunteered to take me out to test drive the car one night. Although I was apprehensive about driving a $30,000 car, I fell in love with just how easy it was to drive an automatic and shook hands on the deal that night.
I always look out for a low mileage vehicle when selecting a new car, but there are so many other aspects to consider, such as looking at the tyres, paintwork & bodywork condition.
