Courtesy Suzuki in North Huntingdon. I’m getting a phenominal deal, a 7 year/100k mile powertrain warranty, and the dealership is one of the best I’ve ever dealt with. It’s not a terribly quick car, but I’d peg it as being as quick as, if not slightly quicker, than a new Civic EX, for thousands less (and I get a hatch, which Honda seems to have abandoned). ---

> [@rookee](#): > > God no!!! > > as the owner of a suzuki PM me for nightmare details!!! My Suzuki is just a Suzuki in name only. It’s sold as the Chevy Lacetti in Europe, the Buick Excelle in China, the Daewoo Lacetti in Asia, and the Chevy Optra in Canada. It’s a Holden 2.0 in a GM/Daewoo platform. The Reno + Forenza have nothing to do with the Aerio/Vitara/XL7. It’s only sold as a Suzuki in this country, I guess because there isn’t really a place for it between the Aveo + Cobalt. And post the nightmare details. ---

Dude… did you see the deals I posted on Saab 92x? If you get a Linear (non-turbo) stick you can get one around 16k. Still a compact wagon, but way nicer. > **[Saab USA](https://saab.com/region/north-america/usa/)** > > Saab USA home page -TJ ---

they are jokes of cars. the shitty interior bothers me alot, the buzzing and rattling. the fact that if you want new brakes or an air filter you have to order it bc no store carries the parts, and the absolute lack of customer service or backing of the warranty. f them, this is my last suzuki ever, and i’m now conscious that GM is involved, but not anti GM.
