1989 Suzuki Swift GLX review from North America
"Extremely reliable and a good buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Little things have gone wrong, such as the knob falling off of the window crank, and seat belt jamming (there was a recall).
Aside from wearable parts (brakes, tires), nothing went wrong with the car until 140,000 miles, when the master cylinder for the brakes went bad.
General comments?
This car was slightly cramped and had very poor acceleration, but every time I got into the car and turned the key, I knew that it would start.
