Santelle's hard work was well worth it for her brand-new Suzuki Swift Sport. Her 'Little Pocket Rocket' is compact and reliable for daily commutes, and can turn on the power when needed. Let's find out more about why this is the best car Santelle's ever had.

Tell us a little bit about yourself?

I live on the North Shore in Auckland with a high school aged child and drive into Devonport each day for work.

Is this your first new car?

This was my first new car out of the box as I was finally financially capable of doing it. So, I treated myself to a brand new car after all my hard work.

Why did you choose Suzuki over other brands?

Before buying my new Suzuki Sport, I had a Suzuki SX4 and loved it. Before I bought my SX4 I was always drawn to the Suzuki Sport but could not find the right one at the right price at the time and so I got the SX4. Before then I only had Toyotas. Suzuki is a brand that is real value for money, and I don’t think I will be able to drive any other car again.

What do you love about your Suzuki?

It is comfortable driving short or long distance. Great fuel range and seeing as it’s a sports model, its got that extra power when needed.

How would you describe your Suzuki to a friend?

The best car I have ever had.

Why was your Suzuki Swift Sport the right fit?

It is small and compact but with heaps of room and has the power when I want it.

How has owning your Swift Sport made a difference in your life?

Having a car that I know is reliable takes the stress off daily living.

Describe the experience you had buying your car?

The salesperson was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. When I decided to buy my new car, I already knew I was going to, but the hardest decision was actually deciding 100% on what model and colour.

Have you got a nickname for your Suzuki and why?

Yes, I call it my little pocket rocket. It can take off like a rocket when you hit the gas.

How do you use the car day to day?

I use my car everyday to go to work and back, and for all the sport runs for my son.

What will you be doing/where will you be going when you next pick up your car keys?

The next time I pick up my car keys I will be heading to the hairdresser.

What's some advice you would give to someone looking to buy a car?

If the person is looking for a small compact car with enough room and great fuel economy, I would recommend to go and look at a Suzuki and take it for a test drive, as you really get great value for what you pay.
