I have also run against the 1.3 & 1.5L Swift in Auto & Manual, the Swift GTi again prevailed! all i can say is that Suzuki really hit the nail on the head with the Swift GTi, and the new Swift is a great looking car. i would have loved to see more development on that wide-angle Twin-Cam 16V powered G13B engine, and even maybe a 1.8L version!
i'll have to lurk around and take on a Swift Sport

wide angle of the intake & exhaust valves; i.e. distance between cams, google the twin cam G13B and the 4EFE toyota engine and compare their head designs by lookin at their images.

1.8 eh? well.....tr1ad wey yuh?
drove one last night again people (Swift Sport) thing comes with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres on 195/50R16 foot print. Not as fast as the old SiR Civic IMHO but they're close nevertheless. Imagine I doing 120kmph and mash hard brakes and the ABS did not kick in but the car stops in short distances. Again, materials, fabric and general quality remains consistent amongst these cars. Suspension is stiff and ride is firm but it changes lanes super-quick. I love this lil' sucker!
true but to put some perspective in the SSS's handling, the bend by Gasparillo fly-over was taken at 145kmph. No brakes........4th gear (heading south). Heading up north, just just pass Freeport flyover that stretch was done at 180kmph. NO lift and car stuck to the road like evo-stick. The stock tyres at 15,000kms done on it already and a tyre rotation was not performed yet

Yep the car really does hold it's own on the corners. Do you own one x2floor?
As for the tyres, remember they're Dunlop SP Sport MAXX tyres. Great tyres....but low-ish tread wear (240 tread). But then again, my Potenza S-03's (220 tread) been going strong for about that 10K, and they haven't come close to wearing down yet!!!
just a warning ...the swift sport ...just like my car is un forgiving when the back lets go and even worst when the road wet.
on the handling side i think the sport understeers way to much.
the sport maxx that the swift sport comes with are crap ......
needs some strut bars
