Suzuki Swift v Nissan Micra

When buyers make a car comparison they're looking for the best cars. For small cars this most often means the lowest costs and best fuel efficiency. If it were so simple I could keep this simple and say the Swift and Micra have virtually the same fuel consumption and performance but the Micra has the lower entry price so it's the best small car of the two.

If you don't believe it can be so simple you can compare the data on my car comparison site carbuyersinfo.co.uk Nissan Micra vs Suzuki Swift. You can see:
  • The Micra has the lower entry price.
  • Fuel consumption, emissions and performance are near identical if you compare like for like engines.
  • The Swift has higher level engine options.
  • Both cars are nearly the same size - similar to the Mini,Yaris and Fox.
The only features left to consider are style, driver comfort and where you think they stand in the market. Both cars are well though of and both have clean lines which leaves anyone interested in need of a test drive to find out which car feels most comfortable to them - comfort being a matter of taste.

The difference could simply be the car you like the most - for some reason - either way if you went for one I doubt you'd regret it. I once tried to compare cars giving the features values but when I totted up the scores I never got what I liked.
