    I looked at the Kizashi to replace my Jetta,but was not convinced about Suzuki....so bought a Honda Euro.

    You should have also looked at the Jazz ???

    The Jazz is a smaller and cheaper hatchback.... why would you look at that if your options were Jetta, Kizashi, Euro?

    Yeah - the Polo is so far ahead of the other cars in quality (yet to be known on reliability though), that basically every car mag or site is calling it a game changer. You only need 1 minute to figure that out. Open the door, hit the dash with your knuckles, close the door...

    The Polo as standard comes with some safety features not even mentioned in the brochure as most people would just go "gaaaaaa blaaaaaa" (means mind blank). the TSI and the GTI (should of had a 6 speed manual GRRRRR). seem to be a soon to arrive benchmark for small sized hatches (although when you sit inside its very roomy and can fit quite a bit around its cabin).

    Suzuki 8 years Warranty, well naturally if you do some hard line research just like the brand Great Wall, Suzuki's cars have been known to source parts for their new cars from either older makes of Nissan, Toyota or Mazda as some of the components are carbon copies/identically suited to the "swift".

    Caviet Emptor "Buyer Beware" is all i could say, VW have the bank roll to back up the Polo, my "biased" two cents anyways after owning the car for 3 months

    However Suzuki make one of the worlds best Sports Bikes there is no lie in that

    Suzuki's (the cars) are poorly made.

    We have a Suzuki Swift Sport as our work promo car (Real Estate).

    The paint on them is so thin and crappy it has to be seen to be believed.... 2 cut & polishes in the cars lifetime will literally leave it paintless.

    The rear bumper unclips of it's own accord as does the front one..... Sure the car looks great but the build quality is worse than a 1995 Hyundai Excel.

    When I started looking at a new car in September the only ones that made the list for quality build were the VW Polo, VW Golf and the Mini Cooper S (The cooper S lost out because it has cheap plastic parts on the inside).
    POLO GTI 5 DOOR MY13. Candy White. Panoramic Sunroof. Bi-Xenons. Alarm. iPhone 4s Adapter. Black Roof. Black Wheels. Black Mirrors.
    **ORDER PLACED 6 March 2013 - Due AUGUST 2013**
    AUDI TT QUATTRO MY03. Black.

    Something like that they have ties. The 2011 Swift pro due out in 18months time will have a vw tsi engine twincharged or something along those lines. Suzuki Swift Sport still 18 months away

    VAG and Suzuki do have "an arrangement", although it might be more about VW being able to optimise the cost of small car production for low cost growth markets, rather than Suzuki increasing the quality of their product.

    Everyone (mostly the press) was expecting a few of Suzuki's recent models to feature VAG engines - but this hasn't yet eventuated. Suzuki have stated that the cost of utilising the VAG engines is not yet viable for their targetted demographics of their cars (i.e. it'd cost them too much which would have to be reflected in the price to the consumer).
