Don't make fun of this small segment car from Suzuki. I am proud owner of this little car for last 3 years . I have driven 950 km in a single day on the national Highway also 600 km in a single day & by god's grace it's still running good . Ofcourse high status people will definitely make fun of this middle class segment car.
The high-status people who would make fun of your car are the kind of "high-status" people who are not very good people. So why worry about what they think? If you are making wise financial decisions and buying a car that you can afford, you are making your family's financial life better. That's more dignified than going into debt trying to impress other people.
I bought my ags s presso almost a month ang ganda po ng performance. I love driving my spresso compared to my 2018 ford 4x4 wildtrak pickup😂. Sa mga nag comments na na pangit mag drive test mo na kayo, kase suspension is good po, aircon is very cold, fuel efficiency is awesome, and the best po para kang nag drive ng SUV kase mataas ang upuan. Hindi mo feel na maliit ang sasakyan po pag nasa loob ka na.❤ ❤❤❤
No matter how unenthusiastic jack can get when filming, these vids help a lot. Both on the buyers' side, and for your business as well. Keep doing what you're doing guys. U guys are awesome.😊
First time riding an s-presso and I was simply amazed by it. I am praying and manifesting that this will be my first car. God willing! See you soon, s-presso :)
For AGS, when you reach 2k RPM, it will automatically change gear so you have to release your foot from the accelerator otherwise, youll feel that 'hiccup' soemthing.
I have this car and I'm glad that I purchased it compare to its competitors I don't get the hiccups during slow movement but I do experience it when overtaking fuel efficiency is great I'm getting 13.5 km/L on city driving I do strongly agree that for less than 700k this one is a bang for a buck
@@aaronvincentgabrielreolope696 hi yes na drive ko na sila both tagaytay and baguio and later this month nman dadalhin ko sya sa isabela....oks nman ang driving pero suggest ko lng to use manual mode sa mga matatarik kse pag hinayaan mo lng na nasa auto mode mararamdam mo na prang hihinto ka sa gitna akala kse ni ags pag inpakan mo yung gas during uphill gusto mo bumilis kaya mag shift up sya ng gear then marerealize nya na uphill ka pala so mangyare is mag shift down sya during uphill kaya mararamdam mo yung loss of power na prang hihinto ka kaya dapt ilagay sa manual mode para naka stick ka lng either first or second gear para smooth driving lng
Such a small car for a small price, i dont think you will expect more from this S-presso except gets you from point A to B with a little gas consumption.
would be nice if Suzuki releases technical video how they designed the AGS, imagine there is no transmission like this until now. Back then, when I was young, I thought automatics were designed like AGS. This is like manual trans that has motors that releases/engages the clutch then changes gear, release clutch during braking. This is more interesting than I anticipated.
You get what you pay for in terms of driving skill and effort. Manual transmissions give you a lot more precise control over acceleration and slowing down, if you learn how to use them.
We called several Suzuki dealerships to ask for service estimate, they said they don’t provide estimates for insurance claims. How do we claim for insurance then?
Had the pleasure (not!) to share the road with an S-Presso going up to Baguio last Christmas. The little car can barely push 40kph uphill which backed up the traffic quite a lot.
You guys are missing out a beauty Suzuki has put out, Suzuki Alto Turbo RS, this is a 660cc Turbo AGS car with peddle shifters and fully loaded. 0-100 in 9 seconds. This will never come to Philippines since it is a Japanese domestic car, means only right hand drive. Check it out. City driving 18km per L. Highway driving 24Km per L.
Hi sir thank you for the review, this is very helpful. I just want to ask if it's better to enroll for a manual transmission-driving lesson if I am planning to purchase suzuki spresso?
Does the AGS have learning function that adjusts shift-timing over time to compensate for wear and tear of the transmission? Or is it standard for all automatic cars already?
AGS is a great way to go by especially to those who know how to drive manually but is already sick of using a clutch pedal like me. 😁 AGS is still more responsive and is very good when it comes to someone in a rush and has to have a responsive transmission anytime like a full blown manual vehicle. This is the next car that I am eyeing to get this 2024. ❤
Mas okay po kaya ito yung luwag, ground clearance, ceiling height, at power for its size kumpara sa wigi, mirage, brio, at celerio? Lalo n ngyon nk automatic na sya.

Everything I've heard about this AGS system sounds like it would be tedious and annoying to live with in the long term especially if you rely mostly on drive mode.
I've test driven one. Its quite convenient compared to a traditional manual. It really isnt as complicated as you think/expect. Not the best transmission system but its a good compromise.
@@kaloifortich4491 Same. Have test driven one last may, surprisingly not at all complicated indeed. Practically speaking though, long term of this is something to watch for.

I think Suzuki got a winner here. Seeing more and more of this cute car on the road. Almost as prolific as the Wigo (emphasis on the almost).
This car is casual and daily use for every day traffic here in the Philippines good job suzuki

Finally, a proper infotainment system! Now if Suzuki can put that in to the Celerio, it can compete with the new Wigo.🤙
4:07 when the door close sound is better than your top of the line Veloz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just curious, how does it compare sa door ng Veloz?
Am thinking of getting the S Presso. If ever, this would be my first car and I would be a first-time driver at 55. Does this make sense?
Still one of the best car reviewer ever!!!!!!
I’m gonna get this car in december ❤
were you able to get? How was it?
I have Toyota Avanza 2024 but still I want to have this car due to it's size and I know I will enjoy driving this
sir Caco, comparo naman ng new wigo and suzuki s presso. Thank you

Hi sir thank you for the review, this is very helpful. I just want to ask if it's better to enroll for a manual transmission-driving lesson if I am planning to purchase suzuki spresso?
AGS is simply a standard manual gearbox with a computer and actuators to shift gears
AGS so parang semi-automatic na motorcycle like XRM??
walang clutch din kasi yun
14kms/ltr for a small car that's supposed to be fuel efficient. It consumes as much as my 1.5L.
Hi there could you pls rate the popular Suzuki everybody wagon from Japan?we truly appreciate your manner of delivery in English!
Very nimble and enjoyable to drive! I wish it has turbo or electric version. ;)
Does this comes with Hill Hold Control? To avoid having issues with the AGS uphill when we need to stop?
It does
you sir have made a car review fun to watch
Does the AGS have learning function that adjusts shift-timing over time to compensate for wear and tear of the transmission? Or is it standard for all automatic cars already?
Learning is posible using a scanner, AGS is similar to other models.
Good day po sa inyo, maihahalintulad po ba ang manual mode ng AGS sa Semi-Automatic Underbone na Motor? Salamat po sa pagsagot.
Yes, parang ganun sya. Pag naka Manual-Mode ka, kambyo na walang clutch.
Yes pero sequential hindi rotary. Isipin mo sa bigbike na naka auto bleep up and down.
Hands up talaga ako sa review boss...the best as always ❤
Woww this is what I have been waiting for. ❤
