The plastic cover over the interior light keeps falling off.
The seat belt constantly frays. I have had it replaced 4 times.
Second gear and reverse always grinds.
The windows have to be pulled up extra hard or else it is still down a little bit.
It is an OK car, but I wouldn't recommend that you buy one. I have had heaps of mechanical problems in the two years I have owned it. The car sometimes doesn't start first time, and sometimes it just stalls for no reason.
It has a quick responsive engine though. It is fun to drive because it is small and zippy.

I have an 1800cc Fuel injected version - and it started playing up. I cleaned the idler device on the manifold (the round thing with wires, held by two bolts). Remove it from the car, and although it does not dismantle - unlike previous Ford versions I have known - it responded well to Carburettor Cleaner (the sort you buy into auto shops in an aerosol). I sprayed into it and rinsed it until the liquid ran clear - and refitted it. No more problems!!

Suzuki window rubbers need to be sprayed with silicon to keep them from sticking to the window. It will ease the effort taken to move the window up and down it's track.
I've had problems with the windows not going all the way up too, and the front windows don't track properly, so you have to seal them up by applying upwards pressure with your palm whilst holding the window switch up. Just cheap and nasty design, guess you have to expect that from a budget brand car.
The car sucks. I have one and the speed gauge is damaged, the car's maximum speed is 95 to 100mph and the speedometer passes a hundred and all my mechanics can't fix it.
