and check all the windows as our windows leaked from 12 months old and I am sure they were incorrectly fitted at the factory
2 join Swifttalk and check any owners problems there

love it.

not really had any issues with it, other than they scatter sockets and switches about in the most stupid of places...so had to modify a few.

would have another without hesitation..in fact its our 2nd sprite

although that said we will need to get the front window changed on warranty as the outer has touched the inner and we are getting a smiley face as it rubs when we are traveling. Had to do the same on the last one, so i know the drill.

Its the window rubbers they seem to have trouble fitting...

Gallery Images:   0 		We hace swift ace courier 2013 which is basically a major 6 but with a few extras as a dealer special. Gutted I didnt wait another year to buy due the the smart construction. Saying that would have another one without any issue. The only thing I would say is check your weights as unless you have a heavy kurbwight car you may struggle( SAYING THAT WEIGHTS HAVE REDUCED WITH SMART CONSTRUCTION)
have had a few things done under warranty but handled well and in a timely manner
