1987 Suzuki Alto GL review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little or nothing - it's been very reliable.
Clutch had been replaced once, and the ventilation unit has broken, but nothing else worthy of note.
Idiot backed into me and broke the front grill, but that isn't the car's fault...
General comments?
Good, reliable, cheap to run car, that still looks reasonably good today.
Handles better than our other 1997 Daihatsu, with better steering and a more solid feel (even though one wouldn't want to be in an accident in one...), though has less power than the same-engined Daihatsu.
These are good cars and I would recommend them to anyone in search of a cheap first car who doesn't mind the old-lady/shopping trolley image.
