If you're looking for a small, fun hatch with decent power, you really can't go wrong with the Suzuki Swift Sport. The hot hatchling is now in its second generation and is making its debut in Malaysia.
As a direct import from Japan, the car is quite pricy, costing RM97,888 for the basic manual version which is €24,100 at today's exchange rate. There's also a CVT model for those who want comfort instead of acceleration and are willing to pay RM102,888 or €25,400 at today's rate.

Both come with Suzuki's M16A 1.6-liter VVT engine good for 136 PS at 6,900 rpm and 160 Nm of torque. Both the CVT and the manual are said to sprint to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, but the manual has a higher top speed of 195 km/h.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
