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

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    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.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Space is excellent front and rear, though long legged drivers beware!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Security is poor, but who would nick it?

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very efficient servicing fron two Suzuki dealers. Routine services are cheap, but major faults are very expensive.
