2000 Suzuki Esteem review from North America
"Versatile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- right front shock absorber makes huge noises on even the smallest bumps - not changed yet
- radiator leaked had to be changed
- windshield is broken - not changed yet
- water infiltrations at right front door
- pretty big rust spots not pierced though
- back drum brake release spring sprang from its place.
General comments?
The GOOD.
I absolutely love the fact is an estate car. I needed a lot of space since I used to move my stuff to my new place. It is pretty easy on gas, not huge amounts of power though.
The BAD
- radiator for 1.8 is only made by the mother company. The dealer asked 515 CAD just for the part. My mechanic used a second hand 1.6L to adapt it. It cost 180.
- rusted pretty early I guess.
