Suzuki SJ410

Advantages: So well made, petrol, alot really
Disadvantages: Basic. Very basic.

...The Suzuki SJ410 is the cheaper 4x4 off road vehicle. They date back from around the 1984 mark, and were made alongside the SJ413 and Samurai. The SJ410 features a 1.0 petrol engine, with a total displacement of 970cc. It is a 4-wheel drive vehicle, making it suitable for both off and on road driving. So, here goes... ENGINE The SJ410 has a 1.0 petrol engine, as mentioned above. It is a small engine, as you can imagine, so qualifies for cheap Tax and Insurance. These engines aren’t that good, certainly compared to most other Suzuki’s ever made. It is a more traditional carburetor engine, instead of fuel injection and electronic fuel injection which most modern cars do have. The optional 4-wheel drive is controlled by a second gearstick next to the main one. The engine has no fancy features, like power steering or cruise...

Short Live Susuki

Advantages: Fair deals
Disadvantages: Many including carefree staff

...EDITED*EDITED*EDITED*EDITED Susuki today are becoming more and more wide spread but less known. We alaways remember thosestylish 4x4's with the bulky tyres which many of us loved. However. Go to a dealer now and they also specialize in cars. THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL THE YOUNG AND VERY NICE PEOPLE OUT THERE LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR! If you know me well here at Ciao, you'd know that I am crazy for taking new cars out on the road known as a testdrive. BUT WAIT. Thats not the case here. I was simply on my way to a friends when I walked past and noticed a used car they were selling dead cheap. It was a Ford Fiesta, S-reg for £4,995. It looked like a bargain so I walked over and started to take a look. Though. by the way! They do sell approved and used cars, but I think thats a good thing, so thats one good hand to...

Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!!

Advantages: Speed, handling, reliability, snarly exhaust note.
Disadvantages: Maybe not quite as stylish looking as some other bikes.

...Susuki GSXR-750. The Hooligans weapon of choice!!! Previous to buying my Gixxer 750 three years ago I owned a 2001 Kawasaki Ninja 600. I ended up having no end of expensive problems with the Kawasaki and in the end I part-exchanged the bike for a brand new Suzuki GSXR-750 K5 model. I bought my bike as the new model was coming out so I got a hefty discount on it. You can pick one of these up for about £4000 now. Which is good considering that they are known for their bomb-proof engines so you shouldn?t get any problems. Just be careful as they are a bit of a track day goers favourite so might have been trashed around race tracks. ~~~~~~~ The Look ~~~~~~~ I bought one of the less popular colour schemes, yellow and black. I actually really like this colour. It looks good with my black windshield. A bonus is that you will see a lot...

Suzuki Vitara

Advantages: Four Wheel Drive
Disadvantages: No visibility through rear window.

...We bought our Vitara from the local Suzuki dealer a few weeks ago.Its now been used on long and short journeys,round town and on the open road. The engine is 1600cc.It has a 5 speed manual gearbox driven through the rear wheels with the option of 4 wheel drive for icy/snowy conditions. Dont be fooled into thinking that this is a car for the serious off roader...its not.But it will get you out of a muddy field or down an icy road. The interior of the car is basic.There is no sunroof,no electric windows,no air con and no c.d player.Though it does have central locking and an immobiliser fitted as standard. Ours is the 3 door "estate" .Its only called an estate for insurance purposes (which is group 9 ),you only have to open the rear door to see that ! With the rear seats in use you would be hard pushed to get more than two...

Suzuki Gn125

Advantages: fuel economy, price
Disadvantages: corrosion, depreciation, acceleration, top speed

...The original intention was to by a Suzuki Van Van. However, I took my CBT on a GN125 and decided that it wouldn't be a bad first bike to learn on. It's also significantly cheaper than a Van Van and top speed is higher. Bought the bike new back in April 2006 for £1400. The bike was a grey import - Suzuki no longer officially supply this bike to the UK market. As a result the speedometer is in km/h which is a little annoying. That's the only difference that I am aware of from a standard UK bike. I used the bike daily until recently to ride too and from the station. The bike rides quite well bearing in mind its size. Acceleration is obviously poor compared to a bigger bike but not as bad as you might think. It could certainly outrun the average car from standstill. It really starts to struggle once you get up to 50mph...

Suzuki SV650(s) : Simply..a damn good bike

Advantages: Light, economical, easy to ride and fun. Comfortable too.
Disadvantages: Sound with standard can! Niggly quality issues..

...by 6-12mm to keep rake the same. It's very light as well, it took me a while to learn to ride it after coming from a Z750.. like it just turns in and I ended up having to sit up to get back on line :D Reliability Some issues with the curvy SV models are just silly, such as a clutch cover that can weep oil as it warps over time. It's made of plastic so what do you expect? Can be replaced with a metal one from woodcraft or a new plastic one, although the issue will come back after a while. When replacing a plastic cover with a new one, be sure to apply some Suzuki bond around the join to be sure it won't happen again, along with a new o-ring. Other than that it's a very durable engine and lasts forever, just keep it serviced ETC ETC. Practicality Fuel range is anything between 110 and 220 miles depending on how you...

Review of Suzuki SV650

Suzuki Swift - A great all round super-mini

Advantages: Fast and responsive, a great looker.
Disadvantages: Limited boot space and rear legroom

.... The key fob with hidden key is a nice addition and certainly made me feel like Suzuki had paid alot of attention to detail with this model, making its high cover price for a car of this class somewhat justified. Sitting in my new car, apart from enjoying the new car smell only garages seem to be able to achieve, I loved how comfortable the seats were. Whilst the seats in the Swift don't offer the most lumbar support, aren't leather and don't have built in massagers, they were far more comfortable than the seats in the other super-minis I've owned over the years. Furthermore, in my experience the fabric on all of the seats is incredibly hard wearing, and still looks as good as it did the day I bought it. You feel securely held when going round corners, and they're easy to get out of. The adjustable steering column is much appreciated by me...

Review of Suzuki Swift 1.5

Suzuki GS125 - Learner legal fun !

Advantages: Small, light, cheap, cheap to run, comfortable
Disadvantages: low powered and parts may be harder to get

...a hell of lot less than even the average economical car. With prices at 94.9 it takes £12 to fill tank up and i'll be able to get around 200miles out of it, £12 in my car will get me 90 miles. As for parts and accessories I am not sure but told they are cheap as with most 125's. The GS125 seems not to be as common and I can't understand why, either that or they simply don't break down. ~ Summary ~ A cracking little learner bike or simple commuter to and from places, no good as a cruiser or for long journey's. An ideal step up to a more powerful bike or passing your test. Given the choice of a Honda CG125, Yamaha SR125 or the Suzuki, at this moment in time I would honestly pick the Suzuki. The Honda CG125 according to reviews is supposed to be better and probably is more common than the Suzuki, making it easier to get parts...

Review of Suzuki GS125 ES

Suzuki Vitara....A word of warning...

Advantages: Looks good inside and out.
Disadvantages: Light on steering, weak plastic handles, high fuel useage in urban areas

...In 1999, my wife and I gained a Suzuki Vitara on the Motorbility Scheme (my wife is disabled). The vehicle attracted us mainly because of the ease to get into and out of the vehicle, as well as the fact that it is a nice looking car. Within the first year of our three year contract, we could not wait to the day we hand the vehicle back over. In Suzuki`s defence, the vehicle is comfortable inside and all the controls are neatly laid out. The 4x4 has also been useful in winter conditions, especially in the Peak District area where we now live. However, that is all the good points that I have been able to find with this vehicle. The car itself is VERY light on the steering and there have been a number of occasions where a heavy gust of wind has literally taken the vehicle off the road. The rear luggage compartment is...

Review of Suzuki Vitara

  Suzuki SV650 - What a great bike full stop

Advantages: Brilliant first / budget bike, sporty all rounder, mid-range grunt, cheap
Disadvantages: Budget suspension, budget feel

...I passed my Direct Access test in 2002, and was looking for a newbie friendly bike to get some miles under my belt, and do the commuting to work. Having no prior experience, I needed a user friendly bike with a bit of poke to keep me interested. The logical choice was the Suzuki SV650. Dubbed by RiDE magazine as the best first bike ever, and lauded by many other mags as a great budget bike, I had to find out more. The bike is light 170kg, has 70bhp, and a good spread of torque from low down. It comes as a naked bike the SV650 and a half faired 's' version. These differ slightly in foot peg and handlebar positioning, the former having normal bars, the latter clip-ons and rear set pegs. Both have good ground clearance. I bought my SVs (half faired) used, a W plate with 8k on the clock. Over the next two years I put on 22k miles...
