Wow - there are a lot of small cars available in S.A. I didn't even list them all - probably some I'm not familiar with.

South African budget hatch buyers are completely spoiled for choice, with around 25 models totalling over 70 derivatives all coming in under the R150 000 mark. Source

Suzuki still makes the Swift???

[Gene Buinger]

Yes, Suzuki is still making cars. But the Swift that they are selling how is not the Swift that they sold in the US in the 90's. I had the GT model and it was fast, and handled well and cost $10K new.
