Would like to have one, but driving in a courtesy car covered in adverts for dealer.

Excellent driving position.

Security and Service
Security
Not fitted.
Service
Not very good from supposedly the no.1 UK Suzuki dealer. A bad repair to a simple wiring problem means we are still waiting for a new wiring loom. And the courtesy cars all have had problems (4 so far).
