1989 Suzuki Swift GTi review from North America
"The most fun I have had with my clothes on!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only real problem has been the differential letting go..... 5 times!.... this trashes the diff, tranny and clutch! It probably has something to do with the way I drive it!
General comments?
This is a great car! I have driven this car hard since new and the motor has held up very well. It was rebuilt at 300,000km and did not leak or burn a drop of oil!
It is now bored to 1600 specs and goes like hell! I have showed the car, had full magazine articles on it. I have thought of selling it several times....but I LOVE driving this car! It is like a gokart! It has been lowered almost 4" and handles like it is on rails! To see pic's go to www.hzemall.com
