Do all Suzuki Swifts jolt when driving slowly?

I have a 2009 Suzuki Swift 1.5-litre which is jolty when driving slowly in traffic. Is this the drive train resistance, is it a fault with the design or is it a problem with my clutch? My dealer told me it is the same on all Swifts, but the one I test drove did not do this.

It's not something I noticed in my test of a Swift 1.5. I thought it was excellent: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-swif.../

Maybe you have been using supermarket petrol and your fuel system is getting gummed up. We have run the same engine as your Swift in one of our cars for 140,000km, with no trouble at all.
