I was looking at the Suzuki Swift Sport earlier on and noticed that it has a much better 0-62mph than the A3 1.4T FSI. I just wanted people's views on the two. I know they are both never mentioned in the same breath but I kind of put that down to the Audi brand name rather than the car. I think you get ALOT more for your money with the Swift Sport (Keyless entry and keyless start, climate control, red & white interior with Sport bucket seats) than you do with the A3. I'm hoping some of you can have a fair, unbiased view without making pointless remarks. I think looks-wise, the A3 beats it but what about performance-wise and what you get for your money? An A3 is £15,000+ whilst the Swift is in the £10,000 range..
