1984 Suzuki Maruti LX review from India
"Best value for money in this hyped car market"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This is an absolute beauty in respect of running costs and being troublefree. Has excellent carrying ability when used with a limited load of say 2-4 persons on city roads. But the air conditioning is weak when fully loaded. A little difficult in extreme hot weather but could be excellent for cold climes.
General comments?
Value for money. Used ones are available at 400 UK pounds in India, a throwaway price.
1984-85 models were built mostly in Japan and are better built.
