Deal of the week: Suzuki Swift

There are savings currently available on the Suzuki Swift, direct from the manufacturer. The VAT-free promotion is available on three- and five-door versions of the Japanese supermini. Opt for the SZ3 five-door model (which comes with manual air-con, front electric windows, heated door mirrors and 16-inch alloy wheels) and you’ll save £2,046 with the price down from £12,275 to £10,229.

The already good-value Swift offers fun driving and plenty of storage space for a budget price tag and low running costs. Both the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engines have decent power for driving in the city, plus impressive fuel economy, with the diesel offering the lowest day-to-day costs, while the petrol is cleaner with emissions of 116g/km of CO2 and thus cheaper in road tax terms. Both front and rear passengers have loads of room, even if the boot has only enough space for the weekly shop.
