General Comments:
The car handles like a lightweight SUV, and the acceleration is barely adequate.
The 95 horsepower motor is too weak for the car.
It is a very fun vehicle to play around in, can go anywhere in 4wd.
T-tops are nice for summer.
No AC makes the car unbearably hot in hot weather.
The seats are pretty comfortable, I drove 8 hours to North Carolina and back with no problems.
The manual transmission makes the car feel faster than it is, but it still feels sluggish, especially when compared to my '86 Civic Si.
The cars, err... unusual styling gets a lot of stares.
Two seats and tiny trunk make traveling difficult.
Averages 25 MPG, not really incredible, given the tiny motor.
Wind can be a problem when travelling on the interstates, car tends to buffet easily.
Interior is loud and feels cheap.
Did I mention that the car is underpowered?
Girls love the cuteness, guys will hate it.
All in all, it's a good commuter car, and can handle itself off-road, if need be.

Another great Suzuki product that was never appreciated, but will give you years of reliability.
