2001 Suzuki Carry Van review from UK and Ireland
"Generally good, but with major and basic design errors"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Badly worn tyres.
General comments?
The floor is 9" higher than the old Carry Van / Bedford Rascal, which is a great waste of space and inconvenient.
The suspension is very uncomfortable on poorer back roads.
Road-holding is dangerous in the wet and crosswinds, and very poor under braking, especially in the wet.
Unbelievably there is no light in the rear load space.
Very dangerous sharp points to bang your head on the tailgate when it is up.
It seems to me that these are very basic design errors with what is otherwise a great little van.
I would buy another if these errors where corrected as there is nothing else which is anywhere near as conveniently small, but with 3 rear doors.
