Have watched a suzuki garage in oz and they say 1.6 is their most reliable

What's the brake pedal got do with starting the engine?

@@antares7368 . It’s automatic, so you need to press the brake with the selector in Park to allow the starter to work. On manuals the brake and clutch need to be depressed. These were always sensible precautions but now they are engineered in by law.

@@richardsmith2879 Thanks for the reply Richard, I had no idea these things were compulsory on new cars. I have only ever owned manuals and my current car is 14 years old so you can see I'm a little out of touch on these matters.

Hi Richard.. just doing my research.. I’m strictly looking for Japanese reliability, owned my Mitsubishi for years without any problems.. How’s the Vitara getting on ? Have you had any niggles ?

I have a Suzuki Baleno and the front windshield is scratched pretty visibly in just 2 years of use. Apparently they use some sort of plastic that is too soft. I used the same brand of wipers and ice scrapers on my previous car and didn't have a single scratch on the windshield.

Do you have the auto or manual one?

Yeah had a sx4 cross same engine and 50 mpg incredible

I'm considering the 1.4 auto, why wouldn't you recommend it?

Haha I thought Im the only one who think so.

Which engine

i was about to buy the duster this week but i heard that there is a problem, when you put the air conditioning it looses strenght, and aparently no one yet knows why.

definetly the vitara

both.

Hi Leo, the Vitara si a smaller car and where i am from, it is about 2500 euro cheaper than the Qashqai at similar trim levels. I went for thr Vitara myself, but that is because i do not need a big car and also had a tighter budget. Also heard Suzuki has slightly better reliability. Just my thoughts.

Forgot to mention, currently Vitara is only available in the mild hybrid version. For me this is a bit more important, because we get a around 500 euro off the price of a new car if it has a hybrid system, compared to a normal gasoline or diesel engine+ lower annual taxes. But this currently is the policy in Romania and it may change. Other countries have different policies

@@alinmarta727 thank you Alin

@@alinmarta727 i've been driving sx4 1st generation and tried the new one during the test,however i must admit that vitara made much more better impression. Now we also got vitara 1.6 patrol:)yet 1.4 is more stronger

Matt says what they pay him to say.

@Lisa Rojas me presenters should look the part

Definitely not flat

If head rests are removed - THEY fold FLAT

Yup, everyone know your story, spammer

It broke again , so something new ! I’m glad you read all the comments I make !

@@jamesinbradford5882 I seen you on Viva Vitara. High Wind caught your door unfortunately and warped the door frame. So Suzuki would not help you.

Bazahaza the wind didn’t catch it, if it had I would have paid for the damage myself ! 7 weeks of hell !!! All I want is a quiet life but 2 Vitara’s have made my life hell !

@@jamesinbradford5882 I read this comment from the forum"In 22 year’s driving 8 car’s this has never happened. Build quality is very poor ! I think it happened Saturday when it was pouring down, I opened the door very quickly to get in." Now you go around youtube slagging the car off?

I had two Swifts before and the SZ5 now. Any major problems? No. Very minor malfunctions of the Swift had been repaired without being charged as a gesture of dealer's goodwill.

@@heikohehn7619 i had the 2005 swift 1.3 petrol. Nippy and fun to drive. Gearbox went then headgasket not after replacing gearbox. Bought an ignis 2001, actualy loved the car but brake issue's accured, immobiliser playing up, then bottom balljoint went so went to change it when bolt head snapped off so lost my temper with it. so Bought another ignis 2000 model, front brake disks kept warping no matter what disks i used, catalyst went and so i fked that off aswell. I bought a suzuki liana 1.6 petrol estate 2004. Love it to bits but its nothing but problems. Push folk for clutch inside gearbox snapped off so another gearbox was in order. Months later gearbox going stiff in 1st and 2nd, external headgasket leaking oil. Engine now tapping on coldstart. Rear brake drums cracked i fix 1 thing up pops another 2 problems its like wakka mole 😡. Im getting 20 - 25 mpg in city and 33mpg long journeys, coolant system now started playing up. My first car was a fiat punto 3 door 2003 1.2 with 144k miles on it. Never had 1 issue with it in 2 years ownership. Never again will i buy a suzuki.

In general they are very reliable, one of the best

I do not believe this at all. I owe a 2019 all wheel drive 1400 turbo topspec 6 speed automatic. Best car i ever had and build quality is very good.

@@Coordinator61 Glad to hear that you have had more luck than me. I managed to get rid of that lemon just before the warranty expired.
