Inside a Suzuki Swift Engine

- Here's a look inside Suzuki's G13 4 cylinder engine to see what's inside and how it works!
The G13 is a 1.3L engine with all aluminum construction. Its light weight and simplicity is what lends to the Suzuki Swift and Geo Metro's fuel economy and reliability. The engine uses a single overhead camshaft with a rocker arm system. Each cylinder only has one valve for intake and one for exhaust.
The bottom end is built solid enough for the very few horsepower that this engine produced, with two bolt main bearings and a simple oil lubrication system.

Excellent example of 1980-1990's perfected designs, might not be powerful but gets the job done reliably and is easy to maintain. We once had the G10 1-litre 3-cylinder, I gave it no mercy while driving, but it never let down
Must have been slowwww
3cylinder balance Brilliance
Yes slowww above 70-80km/h, but city speeds, surpisingly OK. Low power meant that every single acceleration was at WOT 😆
@@speedkar99 i had a Geo Metro 1 litter it was geared for the power just my normal driving i was usually off the line quicker then most cars and used less fuel
@@danhard8440 so good on gas, almost as good as a modern hybrid. Haven't had any car that could beat my LSi's mpg
Theres almost beauty in its simplicity
Yep. Beautiful
Good motor
No plastic covers
No turbo
Just the basic
😍
Lol this didn't even have it's timing setup when I received it
These suzuki swifts here in Hungary still going strong. They were produced in Esztergom, that is why there so many. Rust is the first problem on these cars.
In Poland we actually talked about this a lot - that Suzuki is being made by our brothers and that is why they are so reliable.
@@WojterEXx Hungary and Poland: The top 2 countries who wish they were German! 🤣
@@fun_ghoul Not after Merkel :D personally I imigrated to Norway.
@@fun_ghoulYeah, with Orban trying to be a little Hitler.
Wow good to know. Haven't seen one in a long time
I had a 1987 Geo Metro with the 1 liter triple. It was dead reliable and fun to drive. Engine was not buzzy but very free revving. Got a solid 52 mpg every day.
Nice! Let me guess, rust ...
ya i had a 93 and put all 176K miles myself loved the car and gas mileage
'92 LSi. My 2nd most favorite car, right next my '88 and '89 Cavalier Z24's
There was a DOHC 16v version of this engine as well. It had 101 hp and was used in the Swift GTi, a hot hatch which was quite popular in Europe. It was not a record breaker, but because it was extremely light, it was MAD FUN. Sadly, it is very hard to find one in good condition.
Wow. Swift GTi. I can only imagine.
May I interest you in an old Honda fit, you can get models under 950kg (2100 lbs) and ~120 horses
@@kunstderfugue There is something even better - Honda Civic 1.6i-VT. It was the euro-spec version of the fourth-gen Civic SiR, with an almost identical B16A1 engine, the first engine with VTEC, and it had more than 150 hp. The code for this model is EE9, and there was a LHD version too, so if you have a problem with the RHD exclusive SiR...
I have a Swift GT engine in my garage. It wasn't a GTi, from what I recall. I forget what the difference is. However, it does have the 16v head. Apparently stronger internals, also, than the regular 8v engine. Samurai's also came with the 8valve engine.
available for 1 year in canada before VW sued over the gti name. loved to rev and pull.
Nice simple design, the way an engine should be. 👍
Unfortunately not for emissions
Hi there! Glad to see some Suzuki engine in the channel. I'm the owner of a 2018 Suzuki Baleno with the excellent 1.0 3 cylinder turbo gdi.
Unlike all other manufacturers, they have no issues with lspi nor with intake valve deposits
Lightweight car with torquey and punchy engine, a joy to Drive with very good fuel consumption
Good to know and to hear from someone outside north america! Isn't it underpowered on the highway?
@@speedkar99 It has 110 hp with 180 N/m of torque for 940kg. It is faster than a lot of cars, 0-100 kmh in 9 seconds and top speed of 210 kmh. With fuel consumption of 5'2 liters for 100 km. (About 50 mpg?)
So It is more than enough for the Highway, and It is even silent at speed
I'm in love with it hahaha keep Up with the Channel and greetings from Spain
I sold my Suzuki DL 650 motorcycle for €250 with 238 000 kms on the odometer. Suzuki makes bulletproof engines and for that they have earned my respect.
Always wondered about their reliability...
I have svift 33 years old. Ultimately the oldest and cheapest car I've ever had. I bought it for me and my wife for driving along our city - for 5 years not a single issue. The most reliable car ever. Just amazing.
Isn't it uncomfortable?
@@speedkar99 ...my model is GS, with recaro seats. It's more comfortable than any new small car. And it's also faster due to only 850 kilos for 1.3 petrol engine. Nowadays they sell 1.8 tone SUVs with 1.4 engines. Lol
I love mechanical devices that have "no more than what is necessary" I started driving back when that engine was in its day. The two cars that I loved and owned back then was my Austin Mini 1000 and my Renault 4. They were simple, easy to work on got me from A to B. One car that I did want to own but never did was the VW Beatle. I would love you to do a break down of an old Beatle engine as they were super efficient back in their day and were designed by Porche all Air Cooled. Super video as always.
Thanks. Too bad the simple days are over.
I guess you mean working on the mini engine was easy, after it had been removed from car.
The space in the current Swift engine bay, a BMC mechanic could only dream about.
Memories 🤗 I've had one in the past. Same engine. Doesn't matter how I drove this thing... I never get higher than 7L per 100km. Very economical, reliable and cheap to maintain. 👍 Wish I have new one today.
Too bad emissions and safety regulations would make this never happen again.
We have a 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage 3 cyl. So far it has been reliable and fun to drive. I have a passion for oil changes and do the change in all my cars every 3,000 miles. I enjoy your videos!
Love the simple compact design.
Yep.
Nice little simple unit, missed seeing all the oily and coolant mess you usually have..lol.
Yeah this one was already a display piece and cleaned up
amazing engine, can run forever, and very cheap to maintain. wish you would have gotten your hands on the G13B version (DOHC) from the GTI.
Great to see simple engines. It’s engines like this that sparked my passion for automotive engineering. It’s hard to get excited about modern engines that are covered in wiring harnesses and sensors.
For me, complex engines are what spur Passion for me to dissect them and see how they work.
This was awesome - so simple. I wonder if you couldn't find other cool old engines?
I'll try. I have a V8 Audi sitting in my backyard waiting next.
@@kingdom_lights Ah, cut the Germans some slack😂
I have a first gen Suzuki Vitara with the 8V SOHC G16 engine. The similarities are striking. Such a simple engine that gets the job done. Decent low end torque not to mention.
Nice. I remember the old Suzuki Vitara commercials from when I was a kid.
It would be neat if we could still get cars like that today
Mitsubishi mirage is the closest thing you’re going to get to this. Everything else is infiltrated with Technology and sensors
Safety and emissions regulations prevent that
@@speedkar99 I wonder why that is, do you think it needs VVT to meet emissions? Or like DI? I wish some cars could be regulated like bikes. You can still get carbonated bikes with engines over 40 years old.
Come down south. I seen a Metro about 1 year ago at the grocery store. Cars don't really rust down here in Florida as long as you aren't too close to the shore. I used to live up north and when I came down to the pan handle of Florida I couldn't believe all the old cars still running and not rusted. You will see some 80's cars yet and a lot of 90's
What a beautiful, SIMPLE design. I seem to recall those cars could be had with a 3-cylinder engine as well and they could easily get 40mpg
Yep they were light and efficient
Watching this really makes me miss my 2003 Suzuki Aerio SX, it really was an underrated lil car. The only major problem I had with it was the digital gauge that only had color indicating lights for the temperature (blue for cold/cool, red for hot). The blue temp light would only come on when you start the car and it’s warming up and then it’d go away, but it will only turn on red when the car is already near overheating or has overheated which unfortunately has happened to me. MAJOR design flaw but was changed to normal analog dials in later versions. Hope this helps!
I remember the commercials for those cars.
A very clean engine. Does not required any of your brother shirt on this one very educational as always.
Thanks - yep it was pre-cleaned
I have Suzuki Motorcycle 110cc for 12 years. Their engine is still great since now.
Awesome
@@speedkar99 Stay Awesome
My uncle lives in utah now. He was originaly from sheffield, england my hometown but he moved to the states. He has a cown vic and a geo metro 1.0, the crown vic dosent start up anymore and the geo has 240k miles, but he says recently it starts up and runs great for about 10 minutes then gets sluggish and stalls out. Dont know if he got it fixed yet but i was impressed for a 1.0 3 cylinder hit 240k. He says the crown vic has also been a pretty good car but he suspects the fuel pump has gone on it, not sure what mileage is on it though but im sure that was just over 200k miles.
I have suzuki liana estate know as aerio in u.s but with M16a and not the J20. I have 184k miles and still runs great so far and thats with 2-3 year servicing intervals.
US EPA site still rates 3-cylinder Suzukis with a stick as the most fuel efficient ICE-only cars ever sold there. The Civic HF is also up there...
What about the Honda fit etc ? I guess they'd are too heavy
@@speedkar99 You should check out the list yourself. Many econoboxes are actually pretty thirsty, like the later Suzukis (e.g. Esteem, Aerio, Kisashi). I just checked that site, and there are only 136 models built since 1984 which get 35 MPG or better (EDIT: city MPG)...and most of them are 1980s/90s Suzukis of one badge or another. Also, a few CRXs, VW diesels, oddball diesels (Escort/Lynx, Sentra), and just a handful of recent Mitsu Mirages.
Imagine what fuel economy would be like if the shareholders of car companies weren't also the shareholders of oil companies... 🤔
*The highway MPG list is mostly the same cars in the same relative positions, just with higher numbers. Those little Sprints with the 5-speed were exceeding 50 MPG on the highway!
@@speedkar99 P.S. The last Fit we got here, 2020, was just 33 MPG city. It's just behind the 1994 Civic 5-speed. So, after 26 years, Honda made a smaller car which drinks more fuel. Must be a coincidence. 🤣
@@speedkar99 my 25 year old Swift 3 cylinder makes 52mpg, 1/3 city, 1/3 mountain and 1/3 highway.
@speedkar99 I still have a suzuki swift GTi (1st car, so not selling it) it has already 683k and has seen the track and mountain roads abuse more than I can count, its a 1.3 twin cam producing 115hp without any kind of variable valve technology, and gets around 40mpg average if not driving like a maniac, corners like a go-kart (altho fairly hard and uncomfortable suspension for the city) with its 800kg body, independent suspension all around, 4 wheel disc brakes,extremely fun to drive.
I have only kept up with careful change of oils, filters, since it has to work its way all the way up to 7500rpm to produce its power, the thing never failed me and its a 1991.
I dynoed it at around 500k and was putting around 108hp to the wheel still
If it helps answer your question about reliability
(also had a suzuki vitara with the 1.6, which endured a good 400k of abuse before selling it, never a single problem)
Nice!! How's the body held up, any rust? And how many clutches have you been through?
@@speedkar99 no rust on body, but I always clean it well under the compact. It's on the 3rd clutch that was changed very recently for a race exedy clutch. Thinking of installing a programmable ecu, since factory one is not even semi sequential, it's very old and rudimentary, and it's staring to get hard to set up on cold winters. I hope with a fully sequential injection fuel consumption might get better
Very simple engine
Indeed
I like it. Like a BMW airhead motorcycle, "simple by choice". If taken well care of (fluid changes) I wonder how long that "little engine that could" would putt along. Great tear down and explanation! Much appreciated.
You are welcome
Did maintenance on swift in my engineering internship. Swift is still in use in India. I think Suzuki also have rally version of the swift.
Yeah I bet the developing world still has these cars because they are simple and economical
@@speedkar99 Latest version of Swift in India comes with;
1.2 K series engine with timing belt
83 BHP and 113 NM of torque
AMT and MT versions
Very reliable, economical and fun to drive.
Tuneable as well for more power.
बहुत विस्तृत और सुन्दर प्रस्तुति।
So it was cleaned by previous owner, I was wondering why it looks so clean...
Yeah he was a subscriber and had it as a display
and there you go wrecking what hes been taking care for a long time
😂😂
I remember these cars in the wild...wow I feel old now lol
Me too
Thanks for upload Just wanted to see difference between g13 and g1.0 gen1
Cool, my request 😁 thanks man
You are welcome
Take apart a Kia/Hyundai 2.0L Nu engine. I'm curious to see what the piston rings look like as well as the piston skirts/cylinder walls.
Small and compact for it's capacity and beautifully simple ...and reliable. The automotive industry has gone backwards. This was likely more fuel efficient than the modern engines with all their emissions garbage that are fitted into cars that are loaded down with safety equipment and are about 30% heavier as a result.
I agree. Emissions and safety has made cars more complex and heavier.
No clothes from the closet? I am amazed.
Very neat engine, simple and looks sturdy enough to last more than the newer crap from today, cough cough at ecoboost.
No mess on this one!
Thank You for the informative video.
Are you considering to tear down Suzuki "M16A" engine in the future?
Suzuki cars barely exist here
This engine was the optional 1.3 but the 1991 Geo Metro 3 cyl, 1.0 L Fuel Economy EPA MPG 40 combined city/highway MPG 37 city 45 highway 2.5 gals/100 miles.
The Swift of today has all the bells and whistles, unique in it's class. Available in 4wd, or with turbo, 210 kmh top speed.
Cool! Didn't know it's still made
@@speedkar99 Even still got 4 cylinders!
i love those old dinosaur engines. nothing to go wrong. this engine would be good in an ultra light plane.
Too heavy. They use Rotax.
@@Stefan_Dahn ...too expensive
It's a cute one. As you saw, previous owner had it on a display stand.
Actually the smaller 3cylinder 1.0
l g10 a version of this engine was used in ultralights. It weights only 70 kg.
Honestly, using the shoulder of the rod to squirt oil to the piston is genius, but many engines dont have it now so that leads me to believe it was inefficient
seems so,
unlike squirters it would take some time to start feeding oil to pistons
Yeah it's not a common thing but eco engines did it to save weight and money on dedicated sprayers
Machine screws holding in the camshaft…amazing.
Are those "Phillips" screws on the cam towers really "Phillips"
or are they really really JIS fasteners (Japanese Industrial Standard cross head screws...
that require appropriate screw driver bit so you don't screw up the screws?
(As evidenced by many classic Japanese motorcyles with boogered exterior engine/gearbox case screw heads......)
Thanks!
The suzuki swift is heavily inspired by the original mini, great car, i should buy one but a p11 nissan primera wagon is next on the list and then a k11 micra (also a spiritual successor to the mini)
I had this motor, beat the living daylights out of it all over the Mojave Desert, did not take the best care of it, it never broke down 10 years till I sold the vehicle.
Awesome. Good to know they're durable
You should tear down a toyota ecvt transmission. Like from the ones used with the new m20a engines & 5th gen hybrid system.
I've torn down a Prius eCVT.
The Corolla M20 CVT isn't an eCVT it has a physical first gear.
Thanks!
Welcome
I thought you were in Canada. When was this filmed?
Yeah I filmed in fall.
This may be a longshot, but I figured I’d ask, would you possibly know where a good place would be to get an engine rebuilt kit for my G13B engine? It is exactly the same as that one .I was told it came out of a Suzuki swift, and got put into my geo metro before I bought it
eBay? I'm not sure tbh. Might have to custom fab
fyi: Not a phillips screw. Japan Industry Standard. (JIS) . I have a set of screwdrivers that are JIS for working on Japanese bikes.
Thanks for the reminder!
I like it, simple and small, could do with a turbo
A world away from the current Swift Sport engine. Mine has VVT, Turbo, the even newer ones in Europe are hybrid.
Nice!
Hope you do Toyota's 1G-FE some time
Sure
I'm just tearing apart my suzuki grand vitara 2.7L engine :))
V6?
@@speedkar99 yes
you must look at the c16se engine made by opel.
just as simple and i do my own service on my car
Cool
Simple means reliability and durability...
Cool trick for those screws when they strip: Lay a wide rubberband over it and twist as usual. Why don't car manufacturers use "flat head" screws? Also, specifically Honda, why do they use ultra cheap metal for their screws. The throttle body clamp for my sister's Fit has a screw that strips every time with the least amount of effort. I just started using the rubberband trick. Cheaper than 20 bucks a pop to clean the throttle body plus the bottle of cleaner. Lol
That's a cool trick. For Japanese cars, look for a set of JIS screwdrivers. Who knows why but they have their own standard for screws and it makes a big difference. If you can get a JIS screwdriver with a metal back or a strike then it makes life so much better as you apply light rotation and strike it with a hammer at the same time and shock the screw into motion. Liquid wrench or your penetrating fluid of choice and advance also helps.
Also found in the samurai although slightly different
Good thing the block didn't hit your foot. Simplicity just works
Like a pro taking down a tree. It lands exactly where it was planned to land. 😉
@Ste Da
lol
😂😂😂
If it my foot, no damage done. It's a light one
What's the dry weight of this little engine? as per above with top and botom pans? thx
1:29 if this is an authentic Japanese engine, I’d believe these are JIS instead of Phillips screws
You are right
Sir please make new video on engine of Hyundai i20. Since this car is very popular.
Ok
@@speedkar99 especially the 2011 1.2 petrol variant
Aren't the rocker block screws JIS not Philips?
did it have the same oil passage in the cylinder head as the chevrolet kalos 1.2 engine? Its camshaft regularly seized due to lack of oil, and it always had to be re-drilled.
Drill the carbon?
Did that come out of your brother's daily driver?
Bro, will the 2018 swift engine (k12m) fit in the 2022 model swift(k12b)?
Awww..so cute,...rust buckets but cute!
Yes cute
oh
wait until you se f5a and f6a,
they're smaller than that,

Subaru ad after the video. Boy, they really picked the wrong channel! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha
Is that the same 1.3 used in Suzuki Samurai's?
Yea
@@speedkar99 Thank's for reply. Enjoy your work. Keep it up, please!
Looks so much like the Mitsubishi 4G13 engine.
hello random shoe at 5:40 !
The wife's nephew was my apprentice of the day haha
1:45 is it a Phillips or a jis screw ?
Likely JIs
More evidence that I'm getting old, distributor was pronounced a little differently back in the day. Most kids these days have never worked on one.
I've never worked on one but I have opened one up. Those things have so much trouble back in the day
@@speedkar99 Yes, there was a reason that garages were present at almost every corner, and plugs/points/wires were done every 30,000 miles. Cars today are so much more reliable and maintenance free, not to mention the better suspension, etc. My 98 Ram has a distributor but an electronic ignition system running a single coil. They are much easier to compare secondary ignition between cylinders because you can line them all up on the scope as a palisade from the single coil wire.
Can't wait to see a Mitsu 6g7x or 4g9x to see how unnecessarily complicated machines look, in contrast
Where are the piston return springs?
Hidden in the cylinder wall oil squirters!
Haha good one
How much did this engine weigh? By feel I'm not expecting a proper weigh in. Like can a guy lift a shortblock? This thing looks so simple and small I wonder if it would do well in a sand rail. VW beetle engines are getting more and more expensive, and this thing with a manual transmission would probably out do one no problem.
Subaru Turbo WRX engine might have a few more ponies, lower centre of gravity.... and not a lot more weight?
Mine had a lot of missing parts but you could lift it easily
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq They're worth a lot and their engine management isn't easy to setup for standalone operation ECU and all that. This thing is dizzy run so a couple side draft mikunis or a weber double barrel and it will prolly be good to go. The other thing is by eye this looks very lightweight, even Honda D SOHC motors are roundabout 300lb before accessories. For reference a VW type 1 is about 200lb ready to run without the car specific things like heater boxes and lighter intake, but with generator. I literally pick them up and put them in the frame get a good grip and angle and it's not a big deal. In sand rail stuff weight is a bigger deal than power because power just means you're spinning wheels, too much weight means you're bogging down. The lighter weight cars always pull out a head because you don't need much power to spin tires on loose dirt sand gravel mud and snow. I gotta weird config a VW motor coupled to a t5 in a front engine rwd pattern, supercharged with an AMR500 blowing through twin mikuni motorcycle carbs
Unfortunately nowadays a vw is hitting 500 bucks for a block that needs work and being such a weird design (compared to what most shops work on) and magnesium case the machine work isn't cheap, and you can only build a 1960s case so many times. assembly is easy at least. Also parts are running out. Back 10 years ago i got my complete engine for 60 dollars not stuck.
Samurai Engine
I was wondering when a Suzuki engine come up. I bought a new car in 2020 Suzuki swift 1.2 style full option car. The first time that I have buy a completely new car. I hoop I made a good decision about it. It's not the Japanese version they told me I have the Hungary edition. And it's now at 65k km. So far without any issues.
They still make these?
@@speedkar99
In europe you can still by them new
1.2 Swifts
1.0 Vitaras and 1.4 turbo Vitaras which are even offered with 4WD, some people still do some medium off-roading with them :)
@@speedkar99 Not sure if they are still made but i found a list of them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Suzuki_engines Depend on what model it is.
I remember driving a 3 cylinder version Swift. Was a nice car, rather light in weight for its power.
Wasn't it still way underpowered?
Modern eco tech seems like more waste to make 50 mpg.... Let's use low tension rings so that you'll have a more engines in the landfill.
Yeah it's because newer engines use thinner oils.
@@speedkar99 yea my sienna hybrid uses 0w16. I thought about going to 5w30 but I'm scared to against the manufacturer recommendations. I think other countries (Mexico) still uses 5w30 cause they don't have the EPA.
I think it is important to emphasize this is a real Suzuki engine not a Daewoo engine installed in a car with a Suzuki emblem on the hood.
Good to know. Were these built in Korea?
@@speedkar99 The Daewoo Suzukis were built in South Korea.
It looks like a robust design. I'm not sure how much, if any, cross-talk there was within Suzuki between their car and motorcycle engine design teams but during the late 70's and early 80's Suzuki was making 1000-1100cc 4 cylinder motorcycle engines that were so robust that they've been the mainstay for drag racing for the last 40 years or so.
I hope you're not junking this engine after this. There's quite a few people that would be interested in having it..
Whoops...
Weren't these getting 50mpg in the metro? I'll take low hp over batteries.
Yes
Waiting for the tesla video
Me too
Hey dats my engine
What car you have?
@@speedkar99 96 swift jdm

Thanks
No oil/coolant mess or demolition noise next door, what's that about...lol
This video was shot way back in fall.
The timing belt do not drive the water pump.
Does the serpentine belt drive it?
@@speedkar99 the water pump is driven by an auxiliar belt that drive the alternator too.
Suzuki is unterrated. That's my hot take of the day.
I'd love to have a Suzuki Jimny but my ideal drivetrain configuration for that would be a small inline 4 turbodiesel and an automatic transmission. But Suzuki doesn't offer that here 😅
TDI swap a jimny? crazy idea but could honestly work.
hmm maybe Volvo is a better candidate their diesels are more reliable and I think the majority here were delivered with automatics... but then it would need to be the AWD version since I don't think its possible to adapt the FWD transmission to the Jimny drivetrain unless I mount the engine+trans package longitudinally and weld the diff... but then all the power would be going out throughone puny CV axle into the Jimny transfercase and those Aisin transmissions Volvo used are not easy to work on and get back together again... also the engine would sit in a pretty akward position to get everything lined up... maybe a rwd/awd BMW drivetrain is the better option they also have decent diesels
ok brainstorm over 🙃
EV swap.
Wonder why they left north america
I have a Jimny with the G13BB similar-ish engine but 16 V (still one single cam)
It's the '98 version so only 80 hp...
While underpowered for some tricky offroad situations the 4WD + low is enough, just requires more driver care.
It's made in Japan, god knows how many real miles it has, still sounds great.
I'm trying to maintain it by the book.
Extremely easy to work on, quite the hobby for the amateur learning mechanic :D
I reckon this is not a Canadian car/engine...
Why not? I'm not sure where the cars from but I got it from someone here in Canada
@@speedkar99 because it's so old yet clean
I knew a guy with a tiny three cylinder gutless death trap. I guess that was a Suzuki swift.
I also knew a lady who was a terrible driver and had one. I was glad she was driving the car with the least mass 😂😂😂
Haha
Thanks, Mumbles. I caught like 1 out of 5 words there.

Too bad Suzuki (cars) left America in 2016, the Kizashi looked like Honda designed it (awesome), and the Equater was as decent as a Nissan.
And I was a tech for them…
The Forenza/Reno was a piece of shit, almost as bad as a VW. At least they were so easy to work on! (unlike vw/the other brand my dealer sold)
How were the Suzuki's reliability?
@@speedkar99 fucking awesome!
Customers sucked…maybe…I didn't see many, and the only Suzuki work I got was warranty &/or recall. Probly because they were broke (customers don't have $$) and we charged ~twice what independent mechanics did. Most owners just ignore & neglect maintenance, from what I saw when they came in for free shit. Probly because they were marketed to people with limited fundage.
I was the only Suzuki tech the dealership, & we were the only dealer for Manatee County, but I still spent less than half my time on Suzukis. Mostly pre-delivery inspections! The rest of my time was VW bullshit.
Even though the cars were neglected, and (usually) had high mileage, everything was solid & rarely needed repairs. Even the Forenza & Reno had good reliability (by vw standards), but were made like a Honda from the late '80s, which is why they were so easy to work on!
Summary:
Suzuki's were good cars then, but might not be now, because they were probly neglected. Inspect very well before purchasing, then stay on top of maintenance, and you'll probly have a great car for a long time…for any model from Suzuki.
