Judy and Winkle went a long way from Gnome. Over the summer of 2023, this courageous pair went on a mission travelling New Zealand in their racy red Suzuki Swift Sport. We love their sense of humour and Winkle certainly has his 'mistress' (Judy) getting out of her comfort zone on this trip.

I’m Judy from Christchurch and am now retired. I am currently on my big O.E. across Cook Strait with my traveling Gnome, WINKLE. Though we have family in the North Island, I have never driven here before, but having a great new car has helped us to have a fantastic time.
This was a treat, buying my brand new Suzuki Swift Sport. I love the colour - the red and black complete with racing stripes and ceramic paint protection. It travels better this way Winkle tells me. Apparently, there's better airflow when travelling, and we are not talking about air conditioning!
I previously owned a Suzuki S4, and when the Suzuki Swift Sport came out this was my dream car. The Suzuki Swift has a great name. They are known for being reliable and you can trust them to perform.
The style of the car and wheels make it look racy. It's sassy, sexy, and posh. A car that a woman can definitely trust.
I love the seats. They make me feel safe and cocooned in the seat. Plus my Swift Sport stands out against other brands making it easy to find amongst other cars.
It has given me confidence. It's not just the car, it’s the style. It’s like a good pair of shoes, it's classy.
I took my brother with me. We had a very informative salesperson who answered all of our questions and more. I originally went in to buy a Swift Hybrid, but decided I would have the car I really wanted - the Swift Sport.

After listening to what the salesperson has to say, you have to go with your gut feeling.
