Somewhat strong smell after driving car hard
Quote from DazzaSport on July 22, 2020, 4:56 pmI know some have had some nasty stone chips on here. Including myself.
But, I don't think the paint is any worse than any other car I've ever owned.

I think the paint that Suzuki uses Is crap across their whole range of cars. I've got a 65 plate ZC32 and the paint Isn't great on that either 🙄

Quote from fullmetalwaxjacketpotato on July 22, 2020, 5:36 pmMy son has a 1.0 boosterjet in black and its covered in dents... There is one on the ps door where he softly lent back on it and it creased where
the line is... I measured the thickness of the panels and without the paint it must be less than 0.6mm.. maybe 24 gauge without paint in places..
We all know its all about weight with this car so perhaps suzuki just lightly dusted the paint to save weight..
I got hold of a 33s front wing the other day and folded it easily into a square with my hands...
But if you go on youtube an search new suzuki swift crash test its the EURO NCAP video and they are still very safe strong cars..

Quote from Marc Roberts on July 22, 2020, 7:46 pmI suppose at the end of the day It's all to do with saving money. Suzuki cars are undoubtedly safe and reliable but fall a bit short with build quality and paint. Although saying that I've definitely had a lot worse In the past.

Quote from Ruben Seibald on July 23, 2020, 2:03 amhow did we go from strong smell after driving hard to paint issues?
i was mostly interested in the smell due to my dealer has tried different scenarios on my car with 6000km

Quote from Duelog on July 23, 2020, 7:43 amLol that would be my fault sorry. I was just raising my only concerns since buying the car.
But I'm booking a service soon and I'll update you if I receive any word on the cause of the smell
