1999 Suzuki Swift 1.0 GLS review from Italy
"A total waste of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Squeaks on the dashboard.
Both the power windows broken.
Driver's seat distorted.
Rumours from the brakes during the drive (not during the braking action!)
Clutch broken at 8000 km, with a quiet drive.
The exhaust system rattles.
Very thin paint (easy to scratch).
The most recent defect: grave loss of oil from the hydroamplifier.
Loss of screws in the interior.
All this on a NEW car.
General comments?
Nothing to say, except for a very bad dealer.
If you want a reliable car and you want to take easily the spare parts, don't buy a Suzuki.
