"Luke warm performing hot hatch"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

No faults as yet. Gearbox is sticking in first at times and can be difficult to select third at times!!

General comments?

Standard equipment levels on this car are impressive, i.e. electric windows/mirrors, power steering etc.

The sports seats are comfortable giving good support, however legroom in the back is limited.

Overall the interior is a little dull i.e. Grey plastic dash however this said dials and switchgear are well laid out.

Suzuki baleno estate 1.6 glx.1999 s.Nice 2nd hand car brought 2 years ago for 2500 pounds. Only 17000 miles. Unfortunately at 27000 miles clutch failed. New clutch fitted cost 250 pounds. At 29000 miles oil seal on gearbox failed and contaminated clutch plate cost 150 pounds. At 30000 miles same failure. A little disappointed and now selling. Apparently prone to clutch and gearbox problems. I Don't KNOW. DO YOU.
