Faults:

The rear leaf spring broke at 55,000 miles.

I've also had two starter motors fail.

General Comments:

I intended on keeping the Suzuki for no more than six months until I brought my next hot hatch, but six years later I have no intention of selling her.

These Suzuki's have got a real character.

They may be bumpy and a little cold in the winter, but they are great fun and very reliable. What more do you want for the little amount of money they are.

Faults:

The hood on this one seemed to deteriorate faster than the previous one. Also, it didn't like extreme cold or rain.
