1989 Suzuki Swift GL review from North America
"Dependable and very economical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both fenders rusted through (replaced them this past fall)
Wheel bearings have all needed replacement.
Radiator replaced 2 years ago.
Clutch at 79,000kms (due to stop and go driving).
General comments?
If you take care of a car like this it will last long.
Quality isn't that of a Toyota or Honda, but it's decent
Good for short trips.
A nice gas miser.
Doesn't use a drop of oil.
Comfortable for up to 2 people, back seats are better left for small children or cargo.
