These Foolish Things

THAT'S what that's for...

Yeah, I can put just quarters in there, but then why have three separate divided compartments for one denomination? I can tell I'm the only poster here with a logical mind.

My Swift was the 2000 hatch; silver. Can been seen on used cars.com (not the actual car, but a reasonable facsimile, including interior shots). Loved it.

Why Yaris? Toyota reliability and smallest car out there other than Twofer.
I test-drove it; I didn't live in it for a week. Upon closer examination, eh...

Hmm... yeah, that comment should go over real well.

I have to agree on one point, though, the interior of the Swift 200 looks a little more streamlined, visibility all around is good, size is truly sub-compact. but now I wonder why you sold it? You said it you had to. Why? Well built cars last a lot longer than 9 years. If it was already starting to ask for major repairs, then it couldn't have been such a well built car.

The Swift isn't even an option on Suzuki's model list! lol

Anyway....

Found a listing on AutoTrader and finally came up with an interior photo of the beloved Swift. Notice all the cupholders, compartments, ect... Also notice how the hatch opens by itself when it senses your presence and also how the passenger airbag will go off even with no passenger because it doesn't have that pesky sensor. Yes, the perfect little car!

Sorry to beat up on you Otterhere (is it supposed to be "Outtahere"), but your complaints are pretty silly. Reminds me to much of "Caveatipse" who got banned more times than we can count.

Such a logical mind that you purchased a great little car, good fuel economy, Toyota reliabililty and low price. Glad you used your logical mind to purchase such a GREAT car.

I think the world you were looking for there is anal

But seriously, I don't know if you're continuing this thread out of a real want to discuss these nitpicks, or just to bring some comic relief to our forum

But, I think I can now safely say that Suzuki completely missed the following marketing approach:

"Suzuki Swift: The OCD car of choice!"

Actually I will actually add one related nitpick of my own about the coin holders and that glovebox in general, it's kinda hard to see in there at night and pick out the right coins (even if they are properly arranged in each compartment). But like somebody mentioned about this in an old thread, it's not exactly difficult to stretch one's hand above one's head and click the cabin/map light, thereby offering sufficient illumination

The triangular pockets on each side of the AC controls? I can fit my cell phone in there no problem, though I usually just have a small LED flashlight as well as a piece of cloth for dusting stuff, and a microfiber cloth for my glasses. On the other side, the remote control for the house gate fits perfectly so I don't have to dig around for it, just stick my hand in and press the button.

The little flip-down cover by the steering column, though, just gets shoved with whatever receipts and wrappers I want to keep out of sight

What I'm trying to say, really, is, you should try to find ways to make practical use of all these nooks and crannies! If you open your mind and stop to think about it, the interior of this car is very cleverly designed, many other cars can only dream of being so practical. Whatever nitpick you have, whatever "oh i wish they did this differently" thought, there's often a way to figure out some improved solution. Heck look at the Canadian guy who glued together a couple of hockey pucks to make a steady base for his GPS unit to put in a cupholder!

Sometimes having a versatile mind can be better than a logical mind

Now, that's a great idea!!
Somebody should start a thread for that kind of non-technical ideas if there isn't one already
