In stop-start traffic on the Spintex Road or the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, a small car is a big advantage. The Swift slips into gaps, parks almost anywhere and sips fuel while it waits.
Why it works
It is light, so the small petrol engine feels livelier than its size suggests, and the steering is quick without being nervous. Visibility is good, which helps with motorbikes and pedestrians appearing from every direction.
Compromises
Rear space and boot space are tight for a family, and the light body feels more exposed on the highway than a bigger saloon. Road noise is noticeable at speed.
Who it suits
Young professionals, students and anyone who spends most of their time in town will love it. If you regularly travel between cities with a full car, look at something bigger.
