It’s no secret to anyone who follows Oddimotive that I, your humble host, love hot hatches and pocket rockets. That is to say, I love the performance versions of various shitboxes. This is a favorite and even has a cool legal tie-in.
The previous-generation Swift was available in the US as the Chevy Sprint with a cool turbo I3 option. The US didn’t get the turbocharged version of this Swift, but we did get this version with a pumped up 1.3L, twin-cam four and a whopping 100 horsepower. Doesn’t sound like much? Well, it will move this sub-2,000 pound hatch with reasonable authority.
These early cars were called Swift GTi, but the rumor is that Volkswagen got a bit upset and threatened to sue over the use of that name. So, later cars went by GT. Our subject car is badged GTi, which I think is cool.

Here’s the rear with groovy spoiler and GTI badge.
This is the only shot of the interior (aside from the instrument cluster), but things look to be in good enough shape from what’s visible. Manual shifter is thankfully in the frame.
The seller claims 121,xxx miles. Hopefully, it’s not 221,xxx, although this little Suzuki engine can likely run for a long time with proper care and feeding.
