The Suzuki Forsa was a version of the MK1 Suzuki Cultus that was sold in the Ecuador, Chile and Canada. Forsas came with carbureted 1.0 L inline-3 cylinder engines and fuel injected 1.0 L inline 3 cylinder turbocharged engines. The Forsa was also sold in North America as the Chevrolet Sprint and the Pontiac Firefly. Markets outside North America received it as the Suzuki Swift, and it was also available with a fuel injected 1.3 L inline 4 cylinder engine. The Forsa was never sold in the United States, but only the Sprint was sold there. The Swift, its successor, began North American sales in 1989, effectively replacing the Forsa.
