A lot of stuff for a little money: AWD, navigation, Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted controls. Perfect winter/second car.

Bought this car in 2009 new, and it's been a great little car. Kind of reminds me of a little tank, with AWD and 4WD, great in wet weather and snow. The Touring Package came with a lot of options and bought the car for 19,000. No major problems with the car, have 112,000 miles on it, never left me stranded. I just wish they still sold them in the US. For an inexpensive car you get a lot for your money, to some it may be a bit quirky looking but that's part of it's allure.

It's ok, but not after 80,000 miles

This car has been wonderful - until this year (2017). My husband and I both have one of these cars. (Mine is orange, his is white) (Mine was bought brand new back in 2009, his was bought used just a year ago.) Repairs were normal wear and tear (new tires, oil changes, etc...) (Btw, we also have manual transmissions). Well, this year came and these cars have been garbage. One day my orange, bought brand new, car suddenly wouldn't crank. Nothing. So I have to towed in. Turns out the entire freaking computer was somehow damaged. They said it could have been lightening - but we're in a severe drought, it hasn't rained in over a month. It cost me nearly 3 grand to fix. Then my husband's check engine light came on. So we took it in - the catalytic converter is going bad... and guess how much it is to fix it... 3 grand. If something else goes wrong we're trading these in for something else. I'm so disappointed. Suzuki made older cars, like the X-90 and tracker which are nearly indestructible. Update: Late 2018 Just a year later and the computer in this car, which was completely replaced, died again. No idea why this keeps happening. The mechanic was not helpful in any way in explaining possible causes. Don't buy this car, or any Suzuki until they start selling in the U.S. again. The parts cost, and their wait time to get the parts are ridiculous.

I bought this car new and had nothing but problems, The brake pads had to be replaced every three months, Tires only lasted about 9 000 miles and it has been nothing but a money pit. When I called Suzuki they just blew me off. I would not recommend this car to anyone. What a joke.

In the short while that I've owned this car, the airbag sensor has gone off---requiring the front passenger seat to be replaced. It now squeaks continuously if someone sits in it. The Keyless entry/start system seems to be questionable---I have now had to replace the key fobs twice because they do not recognize the car. There are 3 small cheap plastic coverings under the back seat---one of these fell off the other day. Apparently, the car I purchased is less than perfect. It only has 2,000 miles on it. I'm so wishing I could get rid of it, but I'm stuck with it for the time being. One certainly gets what one pays for.
