Haven't you seen those stupid Suzuki SX4 vs Mini Cooper commercials?  The first time I saw this I wanted to throw something at the TV!

Well, I heard the Swift is like a budget-priced Mini.

Yeah, how can you make an economy car get poor fuel mileage and stodgy handling?  Hmm, I might need to get back to you on that one.

There's a freaking ton of these things up in the north country (Adirondack area) of NY state.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

I got an observed 17.5 mpg in a Prius today, and its handling is downright terrible.  It can be done.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I was only really doing 0-50 runs.  I'm sure I can get it to 15 with some practice.

How much you wanna bet you can do lower?

It's a longitudinal engine.  With enough money, it will fit.

...or I could just make a RWD Impreza with Camaro running gear.  I know that would fit with enough time and money.

Maybe, but it would be a waste of time if you were to use this engine. It MIGHT make 180 hp.

If you were to do any engine swap on a car like that I would go for a turbo 2.0L Ecotec (supercharged ones aren't bad, either)
