Performance
Adequate performance, if you can stand the engine noise at speed.

Living with it
Reliability
Reliability is good now, but the gear change linkage broke at 13,000 miles, it needed new front disks/pads at 18,000 miles and a new fuse box which shorted out when water got in (common fault say Suzuki) at 22,000 miles.
Image
What image - it's a shed on wheels!
Comfort
Space is excellent front and rear, though long legged drivers beware!

Security and Service
Security
Security is poor, but who would nick it?
Service
Very efficient servicing fron two Suzuki dealers. Routine services are cheap, but major faults are very expensive.
