Suzuki Swift 2009
I bought my first Suzuki swift in 2006 (Diesel). It was such a fantastic car with good driving experience. Did any one drive this car under 3 years time up to 100000 miles? I did. When I was selling the car it was already completed 98000miles. What is the next car I bought? No question - another Swift 1.3 diesel. Why? I can trust this car to take from Cambridge to Aberdeen just taking a single break. No back ache no other problems. Apart from normal oil changing and oil filter changing I paid one time changing my wiper. That is the extra I spent for my car. I never had any problem with this car even though I drive in different climate conditions all over the country. The new auto volume controlled CD player supporting Mp3 and leather steering with additional place for hide to keep luggage in the luggage area and after all a very silent car made my choice second time also brilliant. Within 3 months I completed 11000+ miles. I would say It is a nice small car but good also for journeys like Cambridge to Aberdeen.

Suzuki Wagon R+ Manual 2003
My second Wagon. The new classic, unfortunately discontinued. In 6 years / 60,000miles I have had to replace sensor after dodgy petrol and 1 wheel bearing apart from tyres and normal service. This car will take 5 adults with surfboards and gear to the beach or drive thousands of miles down the motorway. Planning to keep as long as possible as no real replacement in sight.

Suzuki Swift 1.3 DDiS 2007
Had this little gem for over 12 months now and love it to bits. Great all-round drive and very well built. I actually live in France, northern Alps and it’s great on the twisting roads, great in the snow also (with snow tyres). Nippy when it needs to be and very economic, over 720kms on a nearly full tank. For me, it’s the best in it’s class as I tried a few other small cars before deciding on the Swift.

Suzuki Ignis 5-door 2002
I bought this car as a run around. The Ignis is well built, and very straightforward to run and maintain. Suzuki have a good reliability record. Its nippy but don’t expect much low down torque like you would get from a diesel. There’s enough room inside but the boot is small. It has good safety features and good handling. The ride is not soft but wont jar your bones either. You get 12 year anti rust. I paid £2000 for an 02 which I felt got me very good value, with plenty of life left in it.

Power steering far too sensitive, the least twitch and I was on wrong side of road. Just touch the brakes and I slam forward. The only good thing was the 70 MPG.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 2004
I immediately felt at home in this car as soon as I got behind the wheel - and I am someone who does not easily adapt (or bond!) to new cars. I bought this second hand nearly 2 years ago, replacing a 2004 Ford Fiesta I was very attached to and I love it - great visibility and fantastically easy to park (even for me - I was in the back of the queue when spatial awareness was handed out). Many a time I have been able to take advantage of a small parking space, while larger cars have had to circle the car park in vain. It is an excellent daily run about if you have up to 2 kids as the visibility from the back is great. In the 2 years I’ve had it, I have only had to have the rear wheel bearings replaced and the rear washer jet replaced. Very economical to run. Small boot, but an excellent economical, fun, reliable second car. In my book the R in Wagon R+ stands for REALLY fab!

Suzuki SX4 glx 1.6 petrol auto 2008
Autobox is efficient and economical, easy to drive, front A-pillar visibility is poor, folding seat arrangement not as good as a Jazz, this car was my wife’s choice. I would bought the Jazz in spite of the Honda’s bland looks. Having said that my 13 year old Baleno was a very reliable car. Boot space on SX4 is adequate, I have removed seats to increase load volume, but its a palaver to refit, should be reliable but has a lot of electronics to go wrong. Looks stunning in white.

Suzuki Swift 2008
Had the car for about 1 month now, overall very happy. Only 4 stars because the one problem we do have is the quietness of the indicators, if for any reason the indicators do not cancel automatically the beeping noise is so quiet you cannot hear it on a lot of road conditions. I’ve nearly had 2 accidents because of this, has anyone else come across this problem? I rang Suzuki direct and they told me it was the relay, I asked if these cars could be recalled to have a louder relay fitted before a accident occurred and was told in no uncertain terms they could not. I also spoke to the dealer I purchased the car from, the lady there told me she herself as come across this problem and had several other customers mention this problem to her - an accident waiting to happen?

Suzuki Liana 2006
Had my car for just over 2 years. I’m pleased with the leg room in back of car - with the children getting bigger there’s no arguing who’s to sit in rear of car. The only fault I have is with the creaking coming off rear suspension, it’s been in garage lots of time to get it greased, which only lasts for wee while. That’s the only problem I’ve had.

Suzuki SX4 GLX 2008
Not bad at all... at this price you can’t find a better car. Everyone praises my car, the design is impressive, interiors are not to so great but they are fine too. The car gives better road view driving locally, A/C is quickest to cool down rear passengers. Gets you down on mileage side, it really drinks but the again compared to its size and shape 33 mpg driving locally is ok. The car is quick and smooth. I liked it and will keep it for 2-3 years at least while within warranty.

Suzuki Wagon R+ 1.3ltr GL V V T 2005
In the first year, failure of screen washers made me concerned about the rest of the car. No need to worry, trouble free for three years. We are two old wrinklies with stiff joints, but we find access as easy as getting out , with the seats just the right height. More space inside makes it comfortable for me (at sixteen stone) and my wife. It drives beautifully, although the suspension is a little hard on pot holed side roads. Comes with three year free service, although don`t rely on their claim that "your car will be cleaned at each service", as this is at the discretion of the garage. Overall this car is a good buy for all age groups. I am about to order its successor "the Splash" that is coming out in March.

Suzuki Swift 1.5 GLX 5 Door 2007
Had the car for almost a year now and I like it as much now as I did when I bought it. It has proved to be a good travelling companion. The 1.5 engine is a cracker with ample for most situations, it handles extremely well; it is comfortable and returns excellent mpg. So far over the year, according to the average fuel consumption indicator in the car it is returning 40.8 mpg. On a recent trip to North Yorkshire I worked it out manually and it returned just over 44 mpg. The reason I have marked it down to 4 stars is that there is an annoying rattle in the dash on cooler days that my local Suzuki dealer does not seem able to rectify. If it wasn’t for that it would have been a definite 5 star.

A very good all car for all ages easy for elderly people to get in and out, if you have teenagers like us it is very versatile has good visibility all round, the seats are so easy to put down and we have even put a washing machine in the back of it with ease and room to spare ideal to double as a small van easy to park and surprisingly spacious inside and runs like a dream.

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.

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 Ignis 5-door 1.3 GL
The Ignis is a solid, reliable little car. It handles well and is nice and nippy. It’s a good all round practical car that offers a good drive and comfort and space for passengers. The resale value however is pretty low on this and the fuel economy isn’t as good as I’d hoped. I’m happy enough with it and I do think it has many good points just don’t think I’d buy another.
