1996 Suzuki Swift GL review from North America
"Flat out, the best car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew engine at 92,000 miles. But it was my own fault. Bought replacement engine with 42,000 miles on it, have put 50,000 miles on it. It still runs like brand new.
General comments?
This car has decent pick up on the highway, don't believe everything you read.
It does have a slight problem when being passed by big trucks on the open road, it tends to shimmy and shake.
The gas mileage is tremendous.
Fold down rear seat provides a large amount of cargo room.
