Faults:

I bought the car for 675 dollars. Good buy only had to replace complete exhaust.

The exhaust manifold cracks, and no way to repair it. Best thing to do is purchase a 1995 from a junk yard. I got one for 35 dollars. It is cast iron the 1997 is tin or some weak metal.

Another point is I took the exhaust off of my geo metro 1 liter. The catalytic converter fit, I just had a fitting welded after the catalytic converter for the Oxygen sensor.

The car handles great, the AC is cold.

This car is much more powerful than my 1 liter.

General Comments:

Suzuki you really make a good car.

I just do not like to pay a lot for a car so I wait about 5 or 6 years to buy when the price is right.

Faults:

None.

I have owned this little care for over one year now without any problems. I was a bit leery of purchasing such a small car, but since I moved to a big city I wanted something that was easy to park and inexpensive to operate.

I have put 12,000 miles on the car in just over one year and all those miles have been trouble free. The A/C blows cold, though it does take away power, it is to be expected with such a small engine.

I am actually quite surprised at how "zippy" the car feels. It gets around just fine. No, its not the fastest or nicest car on the road, nor should it be compared with Cadillacs or Corvettes. With monthly ownership costs including insurance and gas running about the same as a bus pass, I'll take the economy over performance.

I'm very happy with the car and would not be afraid to purchase another one. If what you want is a small affordable and reliable form of transportation, I recommend looking into a Metro.

I have had no problems with car so far.

The car has performed great so far. It makes a great city and highway car. I find that small cars like this really work best with manual transmission. The mileage for highway driving is 50 mpg with the 1 liter 3 cylinder engine. The trade off is it is not the fastest car, but then again I am not out to race it either. For a small car, it rides nice, but it is not a luxury car either. I like the feeling of being one with the car. It handles like a sports car, but has a great amount of space to carry my bikes. As long as the maintenance is keep up, the car runs fine. Overall, a great basic transportation car that looks great!

Faults:

The lighter broke.

The hatch-back broke and can only be opened from the inside.

The lever that you pull to fold the back seat down broke; I glued it back on and it now works fine.

I love this car!

When this car finally dies, which I doubt will be anytime soon, I will buy another just like it!

I love the small size: It's easy to park, it's easy to drive, and it's fun!

It looks tiny from the outside, but two of my friends sit in the back seat all the time: one weighs over 300 lbs, and the other is over 6'5". They both fit comfortably!

The seats are great, but on a long trip they start to get a little bit uncomfortable. This is solved with a pillow.

Awesome gas mileage.

Extremely dependable, never had a problem with the engine.

Faults:

The transmision went out of the car only 6 months after I bought it. The alternator went out. I had to replace the muffler. The brakes are not good, but they are new. Everything in the car feels cheap and could break at any second.

General Comments:

This car was made cheap and I would never buy another one. The cabin is really loud.
