I bought this car in 2008 brand new for 12,000 dollars, you get what you pay for. Once I hit 42,000 miles that's where the transmission issues started. Paint would chip on door handles, bought countless tires (lost count) windshield wipers stopped working. Plastic Door handles broke inside. The gas mileage was good, but once I hit 100,000 miles the car was not safe to drive anymore since you never knew if the car would start? I loved the model of the vehicle, affordable to purchase, but not a long term car to keep. I would buy it again since it did last me almost 6 years.

I hardly ever write reviews, but I couldn't hold back on sharing my bad experiences of the car i tolerated for the past 5 years, I figured 'hell, I could help save someone from the pending doom this car will bring if purchased somewhere'. Wow, so where do I begin? Well, for starters, the car was purchased with 135k miles on it and now has 193k. It was deemed as a reliable vehicle I'd use all through college perhaps even few more years after that. The amount of money that has went into this vehicle for repairs has surpassed the actual purchasing price on it till this day has repairs that still need to be done which will cost an arm and a leg. I can vividly recall the day I missed my pharmacy school interview all because this [non-permissible content removed] car decided to have it's timing belt break on the highway, which also caused internal damage to the engine and bent valves. Guess who missed a golden opportunity because of it? This repair alone costed me well over $1,000. That was just beginning of the many difficult times with this car. This car now has a blown head gasket and the transmission is going out. Suzuki as a company should be ashamed of themselves. Just to save you guys time heres just a small list of all the repairs i've done to the car; 1. transmission range sensor 2. engine mount replacement 3. water pump replacement 4. Egr Valve 5. Oxygen sensors 6. Coolant reservoir 7. Radiator replaced 8. windshield wipers. etc... If you even have the slightest interest in this brand of vehicle, please RECONSIDER ASAP.

Before buying a car I decided a 4 door sedan was the best option for me. I did not however know where to start. If interested in buying this car, don't be. There is a lot of matience that comes with the type of car. I did purchase my car from a pay here buy here and I know it's not the greatest place to get one but as someone who is just starting to get started on establishing some credit it's hard to find somewhere to get a car. I saw this car I particular and I was very intrigued by it. It was my favorite color and it had great gas mileage and it would be a reliable car I was told. However the opposite is true. I have spent so much money into making this car driveable. So far I have had to replace normal wear and tear (tires and windshield wippers, etc.) I knew I would have to eventually. I did not think that I would have to spend so much though. I have since getting the car almost a year ago, replaced the engine, fuel pump, radiator and spark plugs. All in the matter of about 8 months. I had the car sitting from the first week I got it for 4 months because I could not drive it because of the fact that the engine pistons had bent inside of the engine. So in all I have only had the car for about 3 months out of the year because then it sat again because the radiator busted so I had to repair that. Edit.... I now do not have the car and sold it to a shop to take it apart and use it for scraps. At the end, my ignition started to go as well. I would drive it in the neighborhood and all of a sudden the car would slam on the brakes by itself and then start going again without me pressing the gas or break. If I did try to press either, the car wouldn’t do anything. It became a danger to not only me but the cars around me as well as my family. I had no other option but to sell it to a shop because of the danger it could cause to many more people. It has been a year since I sold the car and I am so happy that I did because now I know that the buy here pay here place that I got it from did not know anything about the car and that they only wanted money. Please please please, if you are searching for a car for your teenager, that you look at official shops and make sure that the car is thoroughly checked out. Also get a different car, yes gas mileage was the best with this car and I only had to fill it up a few times a month, if I drove long distances, it is not worth the hassle. I also saw that my car had a ton of reviews for problems with it and I had almost all of them in the first 8 months of having the car. If that doesn’t tell you that it’s not safe, then I don’t know what will!

I purchased this vehicle with 114,000 miles on it and have currently put 156,000 miles on it. As I near my trade in time, I thought it was time for me to review this vehicle for future buyers! Now, when I purchased the vehicle from a buy here pay here place in Delaware last year it already had a transmission range senor issue (which is a constant problem I see on other reviews of the same.) After I got that issue fixed I haven't had any issues at all since! Car rides decent, gets decent mpg, and the interior even has a certain appeal to it. I smell something everytime heat is on and I'm parked but haven't seen what it is yet.

To be nice to other buyers here is a few words, don't buy this car! It will break down on you over and over again! I Bought the extended protection plan and the dealership still cheated me after the transmission went out at 28,000 miles! I called Suzuki of America corp. and they told me I had to pay the dealership fee of 600 dollars to replace parts that were supposed to be covered through the warranty! Here is everything that has gone wrong since i bought this car brand new in 2007. Valve cover seal, cooling fan bolts fell out, continuous oil leak from the oil pressure sending unit, shocks and struts worn out, bent rims, intake induction system seal split before 3000 miles, cup holder.
