Description
Key Facts
Last year of 1.6 litre engine model and still popular.
Cat S (Insurance write-off repairable) before I bought it at 10k miles from a dealer in Halifax in 2020.
No issues for 37k miles / 5.5 years ownership and looked after by my trusted local mechanic. He services it every year and replaced wearing parts as they arose. No known issues at present.
Alloy wheels replaced a couple of years ago due to crack in one rim that was uneconomical to repair.
Overall bodywork in excellent condition with the exception of the patch of paint missing on the near side skirt (see photo).
Regular motorway commute of 20 miles each way and a few longer drives on A roads.
Not driven hard but plenty of potential if you're a thrill seeker. We're in our 50s and don't have the reflexes but enjoy the sporty interior and excellent handling.
Worth a look if you're looking for this make and model as a private buyer. It's not just another small car like a Corsa. It's a Suzuki Sport before they got boring.
