get a k&N drop in and a set of iridium plugs heat range 6 ........

a nice set of 9ohm plug cables from suzuki sport
and a light weight crank pully could also save u some gas .....

Mr. Green

but more serious ....keep the engine out of vvt if u wanna save gas

W3rd, I figured it was somewhere around there. Engine noise seems to increase exponentially above 4k rpm Laughing

lifestyle have cleared all cars to use super instead of the premium. Only car that needs to use premiun is the swift - super saves u money!!!!

Call lifestyle to confirm.

The sx4 does burn a lil extra from my experience maybe because its so fast and my foot heavy!!

^^Yep. According to the owner's manual for the Swift Sport, it actually requires 98 RON for max power, but using 95 RON will suffice (they made no mention of using it for a short interval or for slow driving only like other cars...so using premium should be cool).

As for the regular swift, that runs a 9.5:1 compression, and they can run on Super (but 95RON gives better performance).

What i mean is that the sx was meant to be driven fast, and well that causes the car to use more gas - that car just cannot be driven slow Laughing

my wife has the sx4 hatch and yes it is heavy when u think about it being a 115hp 1.6, 16 valve engine and compared to the popular other 1.6's, it is heavy on gas.

As for fast, lol, it gets u there.

i drove one for 2 days and I really liked this car but it was the sedan though. As was mentioned before it has good braking and steering feel and the handling is very impressive. Despite having drums in the back, the brakes held well thanks to ABS and EBD.

The car is not very big but has clever packaging and its kerb weight has grown compared to the Liana of yore. Its pretty heavish for a small compact car so the 1.6 has to labour in each rpm range just to keep spirited performance.

VVT is actually a gas saving and emissions reduction technology as such if it is of the continuous type it should be good as soon as it is started. Nevertheless I got 400kms on a full tank of super unleaded and it costed me around $140. to fill up.

At least it has better economy than a Wingroad Y11, Sunny B15, Almera and Impreza.
