TIL. This explains why the touchscreen in the Swift isnt the Android Auto/Apple Carplay advertised in other markets.

The 1.5 engine in theory makes this more suitable for expressway speeds. Naayos na kaya yung steering wobble nito?

Suzuki has fitted a new steering damper on the front suspension to help smooth out ride quality. Plus the ladder frame is 1.5x more rigid so I guess this will help.
