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

In their own words

A superb little car. It harks back to late eighties hot hatches but does everything better! Not the fastest from a standing start but absolutely fabulous on a twisty road and powerful enough if you are willing to work the gearbox and get involved! A real antidote to the dreary three cylinder eco-hatches or overpowered and expensive hot hatches that are in vogue at the moment. A relative bargain as a second-hand buy and guaranteed to have you grinning after every journey. If you can afford to get the later version with the infotainment system, with sat nav, dab radio, bluetooth etc etc you will have a car that has every modern aid you could wish for: a/c, keyless entry, push button start, ESP, elec windows and mirrors, 6 speed gearbox are all standard equipment. With the new model succumbing to turbocharging, this model is a bit of a cult hero as the last old-school normally aspirated quick hatch. I love it.

How reliable do you find the car?

Only owned for a short while but expecting nothing more than routine servicing due to Suzuki's excellent reliability reputation.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I was expecting to find it a bit small - my previous car being a Ford Galaxy - but four adults travel comfortably, it's easy to drive around town and lots of fun on a twisty road. A little noisy on the motorway but I don't use them very often! Boot is small but a weeks shopping will just about fit. Driving experience is excellent.
