Suzuki Alto (2003 - 2005) 1.1 GL 5d Owner Review

1.1 GL 5d
Suzuki Alto 2003-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

All in all, good reliable car, surprisingly nice to own, never had any oil / fluid leaks, no stains. Steering at low speed nice and easy, and I find steering at speed ok. Does roll like old mini / 2cv at any highish speed, but buy a sports car of you need handling. Due to shape, quite roomy, and good vision all round, nippy, and reasonably economic. Watch out for main dealer parts prices, good quality, but quite expensive, eg, £250 for window winder mechanism and motor. I owned year 2000 Ka, and I much prefer Alto.

How reliable do you find the car?

trouble free largely, but I do big miles, so more normal maintenance required. I had an older KA before, Suzuki much more reliable.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Surprisingly comfy, does all I want it to do cheaply.
