1998 Suzuki Esteem Base review from North America
"It's a cheap, reliable, sporty car with great gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The manual trans. is a little noisy. Also the air vents don't stay in place.
General comments?
Not having the car for very long, it's a peppy little ride. With gas prices over $2.50 a gallon, its well worth it.I've gotten on average 28-city 34-highway mpg.
