Suzuki Liana consumer car reviews

Joan Gollop, Dorset

Suzuki Liana GLX 2007

4 star review

This is our second Liana. We bought the first in 2001 as a retirement car as we were looking for high driving position, because of mobility problem, but didn’t want a 4x4. When we heard they were discontinuing this car in the UK we went out and bought another, as my husband isn’t interested in cars and couldn’t face finding a different model to suit him! I find the ride a bit hard and need to slow RIGHT down for speed bumps (yes I know that’s what they are for) whereas my ancient Peugeot 205 floats over them at a higher speed. I am usually the passenger rather than drive in this car, but find it easy to drive so long as I am careful not to stall on twisting hill starts, which abound here. The only niggle is the strings that hold parcel shelf seem to just get sawn away by contact with metal, a nuisance but that’s all and always replaced free by the dealer. Otherwise, as I tell friends it is very much a ’does what it says on the tin’ car. You get a lot for your money and it works fine. Suits our trips, normally 15-60 miles, but we have also driven from Devon to Scotland in a day and arrived fresh and relaxed (aged 70)

Suzuki Liana 2003

4 star review

Very good car - reliable, with impressively low running costs. Only problem I have had, as others have mentioned, is the creaky rear suspension, but it’s not a major issue. The car is very good on the open road, but can be a little slower off the mark when driving around the city. Generally, a brilliant, reliable car - no complaints.

Suzuki Liana GLX 2007

4 star review

The Liana GLX is 3 years old in June. The only fault I can find is the creaking from the rear suspension. When greased the noise disappears only to return after a few days.

3 star review

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.

4 star review

A well-made yet cheap car. I bought it because my family was growing. Not at all disappointed, it is reliable.
