Excellent car! Wonderful on gas, and extremely reliable (that's why I bought two!). The only reason I had to let the first one go (also a 2000) was because it was written off in an accident. I had that one for 2 years, and only changed the oil. The second one, I replaced the tires and the lower control arms. No other issues. Oil changed regularly, this car has given me some great years, but alas, another accident has meant that I will have to let this car rest.

Great handling in the city; okay handling at 110+ kmh. Fun to drive, really has a lot of zip. Love driving this car. If Suzuki still made it, I would buy another one.

Faults:

Shock absorbers changed under warranty.

Power mirrors changed under warranty.

Front passenger side power window works intermittently.

What can I say? I had the car for 10 years now, though it has a low km reading (70036km), it runs as if it's almost new.

Maintenance is a must with any car, so I have it done every 5000km. It's very reliable, easy to drive, sips gas, easy to maintain, and its general performance has yet to disappoint me.

Faults:

- right front shock absorber makes huge noises on even the smallest bumps - not changed yet

- radiator leaked had to be changed

- windshield is broken - not changed yet

- water infiltrations at right front door

- pretty big rust spots not pierced though

- back drum brake release spring sprang from its place.

The GOOD.

I absolutely love the fact is an estate car. I needed a lot of space since I used to move my stuff to my new place. It is pretty easy on gas, not huge amounts of power though.

The BAD

- radiator for 1.8 is only made by the mother company. The dealer asked 515 CAD just for the part. My mechanic used a second hand 1.6L to adapt it. It cost 180.

- rusted pretty early I guess.

Faults:

Only one thing has gone wrong with this car, and that's the Rear Bank O2 Sensor. It was a simple/cheap fix.

General Comments:

Fantastic little car. This is the second one I've owned, same year, same model, just a different colour. The only reason I had to get rid of the first one was because some guy t-boned me.

It handles very well, nice and zippy (enough for me...I'm not a sports car type of guy), my friends love it, and it's great on gas. Took this thing on many road trips, and have never had a problem with it. I live in Canada (Winnipeg...a very cold part of Canada), and it's stood up to -50 Celsius weather.

Faults:

This car is a lemon I have had to fix it about every 6 months.

General Comments:

This car is junk and I will not get another Suzuki again.
