Suzuki Jimny JLX 2007

I have owned over 30 types of car from a Ford Cortina to an Audi NSU. I have a Jimny on a 07 plate and purchased it as a second car. We intend using the car both on and off road, we had an Isuzu Trooper and Daihatsu 4Track and spent time on and off road with these. Although I would not place the Jimny in their league. I have extensive off road experience and have also spent time as a driving instructor and examiner both testing applicants to drive and as a vehicle MOT tester so I see myself as having a little motor knowledge. The Jimny has never failed to impress me if driven in the manner that it was intended for light haulage or local diving at lower speeds allowing the engine to take the strain and not the foot the car will hold well, corner without a fight and in comfort and return 30 mpg without a fight. If you drive like a fool the car will fight back and handling is poor. The same can be said about a Stilo or Vectra. I sat in the car a week ago at the local shop and watched a couple fight to load a Rav4, they unlocked the back door by placing the key in the lock, attempted to load the boot and had to run to the front door only to return to get the key, Wind down the window and place the tube through the window. Well what has all this got to do with your so call lecture on experience and then go on about loading the car? Well it’s simple. After we have raced it pushed it and got fed up with it its just a shopping trolley and based upon the Rav4 from my position a very good spec at around 30% less than a Rav4 with central remote locking, electric windows and air con. For good value for money and the ability to cope with minor off road needs or snow why buy more. Well done Suzuki well price good motoring.

Suzuki SX4 Not an SX4 at all but an X-90 1996

Pamela is a pig! Pamela is a 10 year old Suzuki X-90, not many of these girls about and for good reason too, they are awful. Actually, the pigginess is outweighed by the quirkiness and for that I actually do love her. Her roof comes out for the sunny days and the ride is instantly transformed into one of fun fun fun! Her engine is a real trier, 1600 and quite nippy, the manual gearbox quite positive but the suspension came off a Silver Cross pram and the (sometimes frightening) cornering ability - did I say ’ability’? - from a bath chair, or perhaps I should slow down a bit. Her 4WD capability is fine for what she is, I wouldn’t take her mountaineering but to get me to the stables and across muddy fields - perfect! Pamela turns heads wherever she goes; some in sheer amazement at the sight of such a strange car, she’s not the prettiest 2 seater on the block, but then again she always gathers a crowd (ok, one or two) of admirers. Comments fly with ’I’ve never seen a car like that before, what is it?’ and ’I bet you won’t get stuck in the snow in that smashing little car, love’. She’s a little red bomb shell and loves to go topless whenever she can! Her bottom is huge, behind that hides her boot, even with the spare wheel in there, there is plenty of shopping bag room. What more could a girl want? admiring glances, speedy mover, 4wd for the tricky times, a huge boot and the chance to go topless at the drop of a hat! ...and the name ’Pamela’?.... it was the name given to her by her previous owner, a fabulous drag queen with a name I couldn’t possible put into print!

Suzuki SX4 1.9 DDiS 2WD 5dr 2007

I have recently test driven this car and found that whilst the diesel is a much better drive than the petrol engine , there is still poor forward visibility and its very tight on space (boot is tiny), which doesn’t make it a very practical proposition for a 4x4. Very good looking car and undeniably comfortable but sadly lacking an all round package.

Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6 VVT 3dr 2007

Clunky, clumsy, noisey, terrible gears, expensive to run and you’ll take a hit in your wallet if you decide to sell. I’ve given it two stars for space, sharp steering and nice looks.

Suzuki Carry 1.3i 2005

I chose this van for my sandwich delivery business as it’s very nippy around town and small enough to park in akward places, whilst giving me ample loading space. Access is good too with side sliding doors in addition to the tailgate. Very cost effective to run too for a small business and so far it has been extremely reliable. Nice to drive with good visibility. I would highly recommend this van.

Suzuki Alto 1.0 GL 5dr 2003

They say you get what you pay for. It’s a good little no fills runaround but there’s nothing comfortable about it. Not built for motorway driving either! Fine on short distance if you jst need something to get you from A to B and very frugal on petrol.
