The soft top has some ripped stitches around the rear window.
Hard to get into 3rd gear from 4th, and reverse sometimes.
Mother in law broke passenger interior door panel off.
Various plastic bits falling off.
Sometimes stalls when waiting at lights when cold.
Fun, economical little vehicle.
Very practical.
Rear seats fold down so holds a lot of stuff.
I've even carried a 20' ladder utilizing the sunroof.
Very good off road (4x4, Hi & Low) - gets into some tight spots.
Seems to get 25 mpg all the time.
Good mileage, and good off-road are traits of the Suzuki 4x4's! However they do have some chincy interior. A worthwhile sacrifice if you ask me, seeing as they are so affordable. Is the shifting difficult because of the amount of force required, or because of the small space between the forks in the shift boot area? I got used to that part quickly, but if you have to push hard, you could probably use a good transmission flush and filter change. That helps a lot. And for the stalling problem, a thorough fuel system flush will solve that. Restoring fuel flow makes a huge difference in power, as well. If you do get your fuel system flushed, be sure you change the fuel filter as well, to keep the fuel lines clean for a good long time.
