1993 Suzuki Escudo review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good, cheap off road capeable vehicle that is fun to drive."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stitching on the drivers seat and rear left seat have partially come unstitched in places.
General comments?
This vehicle is very light and on windy days on the open road this can be felt.
A fair amount of body roll can be felt when cornering, being more noticeable when seated in the back.
The vehicle is surprisingly fast for it being a four wheel drive with a 1600 cc engine. However, it does tend to struggle up steeper hills.
The four wheel drives capabilities are good being able to handle more than what most off road amateurs can throw at it.
Overall it is a fun vehicle to drive.
