1997 Suzuki Swift Hatchback review from North America
"A great purchase for beginner drivers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear window defroster didn't quite work. It took about an hour for the effect I was looking for to appear. The brights aren't much different from the dim lights. There aren't any ashtrays in the back for smoking passengers.
General comments?
It's a good car. It's reliable and I honestly believe it's a better buy than my previous car, the 1987 Pontiac Bonneville.
