1999 Suzuki Esteem GL review from North America
"I couldn't be more happy with this car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one thing has gone wrong with this car, and that's the Rear Bank O2 Sensor. It was a simple/cheap fix.
General comments?
Fantastic little car. This is the second one I've owned, same year, same model, just a different colour. The only reason I had to get rid of the first one was because some guy t-boned me.
It handles very well, nice and zippy (enough for me...I'm not a sports car type of guy), my friends love it, and it's great on gas. Took this thing on many road trips, and have never had a problem with it. I live in Canada (Winnipeg...a very cold part of Canada), and it's stood up to -50 Celsius weather.
