The way it drives

To be honest though, we found the Swift Sport model to be like Sporty Spice – looks sporty, but have you ever seen Mel C do any sport? Similar story here.

We didn't feel much extra power or sportiness with the way it drives. 

Fuel & eco comparison

The sports model has a bigger engine and uses about 7.5 litres of petrol per 100km as opposed to 7 in the regular model; and releases 179g of carbon dioxide per kilometre (as opposed to 166g) – not bad considering the larger engine actually.
