2000 Suzuki Esteem review from North America
"This is a great car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had very few problems with this car, none of which affected performance.
The battery terminals were badly corroded, to the point the car wouldn't start a few times, but 4 dollars and 15 minutes fixed that.
The interior trunk lever came undone, and a pin in the trunk latch had to be replaced.
The interior vents are a bit odd, and often slip or redirect themselves, but this isn't really a problem.
Taller friends and family (5'9" and up) find this car excessively small and cramped, but it is fine for me (5'6").
General comments?
This is the best car I've ever owned! I average 2000 miles a month, and have yet to have any major difficulties.
My Suzuki has also gotten excellent gas mileage, 35 miles per gallon on average.
In all, I would definitely recommend this car to anyone who fit into it!
