1994 Suzuki Cappuccino review from UK and Ireland
"A thrill a minute sports car bargain: get one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
IAC valve is giving a ticking noise, but that can be sorted with a injector cleaner (See www.suzuki-cappuccino.com)
General comments?
This is a superb little car that you have to drive.
The handling is unbelievable, but don't get cocky. I did and was very lucky. Make sure you respect this car. The rear wheel drive configuration means the back end is light and in the wet you will need very quick reflexes!
The best bit though is the roof. 5 arrangements are possible. Very ingenious and you will get attention. Do not buy if you are a shrinking violet. I have already had people shouting and staring!
Practicality is not a strong point. 4 Bags of shopping, but if you can keep the passenger seat free, the foot-well can take quite a large bag. You will learn to pack with bags, forget suitcases.
Watch insurance. Although it has a 660cc engine, it is insurance group 13 and very expensive for anyone under 21. Plus there were only ever 1110 English spec cars made so very rare. Make sure the one you get is English.
Parts are expensive. Turbo = 2000, headlight unit = 400 (pounds). You get the idea.
