Faults:

Air con condenser had a hole in it when I bought it; this was replaced at my cost.

General Comments:

It's a budget car, the only car that was cheaper than the Celerio new in the UK was the Dacia Sandero.

Mine is the mid range SZ3, the SZ4 was discontinued as the model run ended, that one has a few extras.

However mine has alloys, remote locking, Bluetooth, aircon, DAB radio, USB charger/music, front electric windows and daytime running lights.

Everything works. The previous owner clearly didn't love the car, as it has paint scratches etc, but that saved me money on purchase. Plus the cerulean blue is so bright it's hard to notice even big imperfections.

My previous car was much quicker, but was a totally different type of car. Now I've got used to this one, I drive around flat out trying to avoid braking too much. If you've ever hustled an underpowered car around you'll know what I mean; it's quite entertaining.

On a long motorway journey the initially comfortable but quite flat seats will leave you with a numb bum, but it is actually fairly responsive at motorway speeds and overtaking lorries etc is easy.

I mostly do short journeys and have changed the oil once already to try to keep the cam chain looked after. Suzuki suggest 0w20, but some sites say 5w30. I went with the thinner oil and a genuine Suzuki oil filter. Dealer servicing seems reasonable, but I probably won't bother with that. I'm getting 57 mpg on the trip computer and much higher on a run. Unbelievable really.

Brakes are fine, I was surprised to see drums on the back, but they're responsive and predictable so I'm happy.

The one thing I really don't like is the lack of rear speakers - I know it's a budget car, but FFS that's a cut too far. Not sure if the wiring exists (the SZ4 has rear speakers) or if it's worth replacing the front coaxials with better quality ones. They're not awful, but not great, and it annoys me.

I pay zero road tax, my insurance is low, and my fuel bills are tiny. It's not a cool car, but it is practical, quite fun to hoof about and really roomy inside. Adults in the back don't have to amputate their legs like they would in an Aygo/108/C1.

Worth a try if you're looking for a city car, get SZ3 and up, the SZ2 looks sad with its plastic wheel trims and it has no aircon.
