Faults:

Mostly oil related problems. Leaks, problems with the seals and pump. Stinks of oil all the time also.

General Comments:

Many moons ago I had a very reliable Suzuki Baleno back in the 1990's, but their modern stuff leaves a lot to be desired. I bought this car thinking it would be reliable - I was wrong.

On the plus side, it's a pretty decent modern car to drive. OK power and economical (when it runs right) and the inside is nice, comfortable, spacious and well equipped.

OK so I bought it used, but the car appeared looked after well. All services appear to have been done.

Just don't trust it.

Faults:

Button for closing up the outside air doesn't turn on.

Driver and passenger door are hard to close.

-27 weather is hard on fuel economy. Only 150km for half a tank of city driving. 50L tank.

Does the engine need a break in period?
