    I own a 2019 GA version, I bought it on July 2021 pay R2890(because of the low price I got it at before it got famous, plus balloon Due to circumstances at the time of buying the car), the Cash price came to about R164K including delivery and licensing. Insurance via Hollard insurance(Got it via a car insurence broker) Is R1540 with no Basic excess. Full Tank on a Huge petrol increase Doesn't even reach ZAR 900. The key to owning the car is having a reputable RMI approved mechanic who can do all repair work on it once the service plan is done, and it will save you Thousands of rands.

    There's a space under the floor for the emergency triangle in the Ignis, should be in the Swift too. Under the floor there's like two things on either side that hold it in place once the floor is down. It sits just right of the spare wheel.

    I am in a process of buying this car and it's my first car, been doing my lessons but a bit confused, cause I drove an old Kia picanto and it moved without an accelerator boost,but when I drove old Tata Indica it needed an accelerator.
    So I just wanted to know with Suzuki Swift GL manual, do you need to balance with accelerator?
