1990 Suzuki Swift GL from Malaysia - Comments

"A reliable car, won't disappoint you"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Interior rattling noise due plastic panels and dashboard.

Front door window rubber channel worn out.

Tiny spots on the roof from new.

Radio/cassette player eats music tapes, repaired under the warranty.

General comments?

No power.

Fuel consumption average 40 miles per gallon.

Very reliable car, never breaks down.

Still on its original exhaust system (no rust).

Never blown a light bulb or fuse.

Covered 120,000km with one timing belt change, 3 sets of tyres, 2 batteries, one small accident & a new paint job.

This car was assembled locally here in a Volvo assembly plant, this explains the paint colour - same as Volvos and the good fit & finishing as they have been assembling Volvo cars in Malaysia since the 60s.

I have a 1990 Swift that has over 200,000 miles and the

timing belt has not been changed. I still get 44 miles per

gallon, with 5 speed transmission. I love this car and wish they still made an exact type.
