Review

I bought this in april, red 2000 model. It costs me an average of $25 to fill once a week. I stay in town. Highway mileage excellent. I bought a new battery, new tires, and my catalytic converter is going out.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage, it feels like you're driving a go kart.

Suggested Improvements

Higher ground clearance (for bigger tires) better engine.

Review

We bought this little car as a commuter for our teenager who had just gotten his first job. It was low cost, got good gas mileage, and had a primered front fender. He's driven it for 3 years. We've put new tires on it, had the brakes done, and bought a new battery for it. That's all. It's been very reliable. Just for the record, the Metro and Swift are the same car. Chevy just put their name badge on the Metro after Suzuki built them. I'd recommend either model for someone on a budget needing a 35 mpg commuter.

Favorite Features

The great gas mileage, very comfortable front bucket seats, large cargo area when the back seat is folded down, and how it can park in the smallest parking spots.

Suggested Improvements

None. It does what it was designed to do.

Suzuki Swift, not so Swift a deal

Review

From the beginning there were problems with the Air Conditioning holding a charge. Last year with 27K miles the entire back seem of the muffler seperated. The printed warranty clearly covers the exhaust system. Yet Suzuki in Timonium Maryland wouldn't cover it and quoted a price of $1165.00 to replace it. Service is terrible. No Suzuki dealer EVER stocks parts. The mirror fell off last month (driver side). The Dealer won't schedule a repair and won't order the mirror. The car is going to be sent away as a wholesale trade in as a result. I'd never buy another Suzuki product of any kind again.

Favorite Features

Fuel economy is averaging over 40mpg.

Suggested Improvements

This car is discontinued. I'd like to see Suzuki prevented from selling automobiles in this country as they never did stock any parts and won't service the product either.

Review

I must say that suzuki swift and chevy metro are possibly the greatest cars below 10K and its gas mileage is superior. however i must say....who's better, and i want a response from anyone out there.... who's better? a) Suzuki Swift b) Chevy Metro anyhow, an only hint is: imports last longer...ppl should buy these kinds of cars, there polluting the air

Favorite Features

Gas mileage of course!, and inexpensive! perfect for high school students and college students, and for business ppl

Suggested Improvements

i'm hoping that the metro coupe changes its look more better, not saying its ugly. and the engine needs to be more better, sounds like a swarm of honey bees lol.....i guess that's all
