I've driven a couple of modern Suzuki's and the Swift at least was a very nice place to be. The SX something or other was a big rolly polly pile of pooh though. the interior of both (particularly the CD player and stuff) was vey good considering the price.

Suzuki = shit from my experience.

We went through 3 Vitara's on a holiday. All had less than 400 miles on the clock.

Certainly sound lke fair value G

Bought to do a set job at a set price obviously

And I think Suzuki make far better cars today than even just a few years back

They're new, and warranted, so I can't see you having too many problems

Meant to ask - did you buy them outright or are they contract hire / leased?

My dad was looking at a Lexus IS something or other till he found out the servicing costs. It's just a Toyota saloon FFS!

Ahh but they were 400 miles in the hands of ham fisted holiday making baffoons, hardly a fair basis on which to pass judgement on an entire manufacturer.

Its a bit like saying all BMW drivers are w@nkers, because you happened to catch your mate knocking one out over his idrive.
