"SuZukiii!"

I love this car. I bought it used in 2001. It had 38,000 miles on it then. Now it has 118,000. I drove it across the country in it several times. I used it to communte in Orange County traffic. It's very reliable. All I've needed to replace were the tires, battery. timing belt and a broken window. It's got great pep, drives fast, has great mileage. I don't like driving any other cars. I don't have to worry about people stealing it. Only down side is people do make fun of it and it doesn't look that good professionally when I show up to job sites or meetings in it. There loss, they're just jealous cause I'm the one laughing at them at the gas pump and squeezing into the tight parking spots.

Critical Review

"Mostly great"

I have had to replace the evaporator in the A/C every year since I have had the car because it leaked. The CV joints had to be replaced after 30,000 miles, but every thing else works fine. It has never been a problem in starting and getting me to work.

Best simple car I have ever had
Pros

money saver

Cons

kind of rough drive

1999 with 15000 miles. Going very well, no mechanical problems and does about 50 mpg. I do a lot of driving between work and home and my Suzuki saves me a lot of money and pain

Solid vehicle with awesome mileage!

I've had this vehicle for about 4 months now and I love this car! I consistently get around 35 mpg (give or take away 5 mpg) combined city/highway. Although I drive mainly streets since I live in SF I bet the mileage would've been high if I took more freeways. Anyways I think the inside looks nice nothing exciting, but I spruced the car up myself (such as chair bead, new green headliner, green seats, and led party lights on the floor lol. Anyways this car is also reliable and had no break downs or anything acting up on me. If your in the market to look for a great fuel economy or relialbility, then this is your car! =)
