Suzuki Celerio (2015 - 2019) 1.0 SZ2 5d Owner Review

This car is full of surprises. It was bought at 6 months old as a second hand replacement runabout for my wife, mainly because it was cheap......under £6000 and the manufacturer and franchise dealer we bought it from have a reputation for reliability. However the car has surpassed my expectations in every area. It looks OK in metallic black and although the look of the basic interior reminds me of a 1980’s Ford Fiesta we once owned, the facia and controls are well set out and even this base model includes a trip computer, front electric windows, seat height adjustment and 6 airbags. The controls are light, the handling fun and the engine spritely. In town the first two gears have a punchy response and in 5th gear the car scoots along at 70mph, only requiring just over 3000 revs. The most amazing feature is the fuel economy. On our first journey of moderate length, the fuel trip showed 76 mpg by the end. Even with my wife using the car as intended, for local trips it still registers fuel use in the mid sixties. Brim to brim measurements so far calculates 70.1mpg overall down from the trip reading of 73.4mpg. Interior and boot space are also of a useful size and for this ‘A’ segment vehicle, remarkable. This is a very decent car and for the price ...a steal! I am really pleased that we chose it.
