For the price, it fits in well with the Toyota XA and the Honda Jazz..

They are all very similar. It all comes down to whetehr you like the looks and the resale value.

I would go for the Swift..

car i mean nice one affordable and a good small 4wd.for 40riyal fill your tank and drive around Qatar. just dont forget to check your spear wheel

oh you can modify it too like 22inch rims

and hmmm replace the engine with nissan safari or Toyota Supra Plus Ferrari seats and Knight rider steering oh and most of all convertible like wrangler see i told you its a very thinkable car. :)

It is 1.6 litre engine,made in Japan with all options. Price is little bit on higher side. Negative point is very less boot space. I am driving a swift at India(1.3 lit engine). I am quiet satisfied with its performance.

Awesome Tallg, seems everyone is talking about the look :) I wish there was someone who actually drove the car.

after all its the quality that matters.

I've seen quite a lot of young Qatari ladies zipping around in Suzuki Swifts and they look awesome cool in them.

I'm sure you'd look just as cool with one as well!

at least that is some advice thanks guys, is there anyone else with first hand experience?
