1994 Suzuki Cappuccino 2 door convertible review from UK and Ireland

"Bags of fun, with 'head turning' looks"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing significant.

General comments?

This is a car for fun lovers, and not for people who want practicality. The Cappuccino is like a TVR Griffith that has shrunk in the wash - small, even next to an MG Midget, and with an engine size more befitting a motor bike. It is a three piece hard top convertible, which when converted, the panels stow in the boot (and leaves no room for anything else). Cramped in the cabin if you're over 6 ft tall.

Performance is surprisingly brisk for a 657cc engine. The car is very quick up to 40mph and can reach 60 in under 10 seconds (slowed because of the need to change into 3rd). Red lines at 8500 rpm, but can be taken past until the automatic cut off kicks in.

However, the main attraction is not performance, but how it handles. With almost perfect weight distribution, the car handles like a go-kart, and there's not much that can keep up on bendy roads. Some hot hatches may annihilate the car on acceleration, but take them down winding roads and watch them shrink in the rear view mirror. Saying that, DON'T try it when wet - the back end has a tendency to swing out in the wet even with fairly placid driving.
