1991 Suzuki Escudo Goldwin review from Australia and New Zealand
"I love this car and have started building a serious off road version"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only repair this vehicle has ever needed was when the top radiator tank split and needed replacing.
General comments?
This vehicle came with adjustable gas shock absorbers, thus giving me the best of both worlds on and off road.
The engine is factory fitted with extractors, and has the 16 valve cylinder head and has since been fitted with an after market fuel injection chip. All in all quite reasonable power for a 1600cc 4 wheel drive.
Off road this car out performs all others I have driven, although the automatic transmission lacks control down hill.
