Suzuki could compete nowadays in the US Market if the EPA would let them but the Emissions Regulations makes it hard on smaller companies. The only reason there's been EV startups because they didn't have to worry about emissions & even got Government Subsidies. You never hear anyone talk about what these EPA Regulations do automobile manufacturers & ultimately the consumer.

@monishthomasp 18 дней назад

Suzukis are very popular in India. They do have reliable and reasonably lasting engines with low maintenance and a great gas mileage. But there ends the good things. Poor build quality, extremely dismal crash test ratings, poorly built body parts leading to premature wear - resulting in the car falling apart long before the engine does. The power trains are compromised in performance in most cases. Scotty is right - they’re pure city cars. Don’t belong in US and Canada ❤

Proud owner of a Suzuki here. My 2010 Kizashi has over 266k miles and is still running completely fine. No electrical problems besides a glitchy window. I bought it around 220k miles and it has been perfect, no major repairs except some exhaust work. Cvt transmission still does just fine. Parts are super hard to come upon and those that can be found are very expensive. That is one of the major downsides to owning one. But it’s been an excellent car that was less than $3500. I’ve had it for 4+ years and put over 40k miles on it, it’s been a pleasure.

Scotty Kilmer! Everything You mention in this video is correct except if You look at the XL7 models made before 2005 all of those models from 2001-2004 and early 2005 models were 100 percent made in Japan and one hundred times better than the GMC models made in Canada. It’s only after later 2005-2012 those terrible models were made which is one of the reasons why Suzuki left the North American market because of all the law suits and poor GMC parts. The Japan made XL7 were on the same level of Quality as old Toyota and Honda. I myself until four months still had my 2003 XL7 which still runs and was in good shape had gotten to the point where I had to do high maintenance and I opted to get a new vehicle. I love my new Mazda CX-5 Turbo signature 2024 and I plan to keep this vehicle for at least 20 years as well. I still miss my old XL7 and it was a well made SUV. The 100 percent Japanese build version, not the Canadian version with GMC parts.

Suzuki wouldn't of needed to partner with GM on this model of XL-7 or rebadged the Nissan Frontier as their Equator in the North American market if their reputation wasn't so damaged from that faked roll over test in 1988, all these problems stemmed from this.

@michaelnance8319 28 дней назад

@@craigsampson3386 I aware of the earlier exploits of the Suzuki samurai. But if You had driven the early pre models made in Japan of the XL7 they were well made and once in a while those models show up on the road. Even the one that I previous own was over 21 years old and it went throw years of wear and tear to the point that I had no choice to replace it with a new vehicle. I agree that Suzuki quality hasn’t been good when making vehicles in the past, but the XL7 made in Japan had been some of their best performance and quality vehicles the company produced in the past 30 years. Mazda suffered similar issues and problems when partnered with Ford. Ford actually owned. About 40% of Mazda until 2012. Then the company of Ford sold its stock in Mazda and Toyota now owns about 20% of Mazda stocks. It seems their partnership relationship seems to keep getting stronger. Mazda has improved on their production and sales on newer models and vehicles. Hopefully in the future, maybe Mazda will buy out Suzuki and fix that company around.

When I worked at Nissan in Tennessee they used to make a Nissan Frontier with a Suzuki badge on the front. A Frontier with a little different trim. I drove a few off of the assembly line. This was around 2012.

Called the Equator.

those equators with the nissan VQ 4-liter engines were critically acclaimed off-roaders.

I find this so strange as I have a 24 year old Suzuki Carry 1.3 van, the bodywork is that of a tin can but the mechanical side engine and gearbox have proved to be bullet proof reliability.

I had a Suzuki Swift GTI that was a great little car for about 3 years. Then it fell apart around me. Gave it to a mechanic friend of mine.

Same as Isuzu Trooper-II I brought one new in 1988- too many issue and it is money pitts. Once it die on intersection after picking up from the shop, I drove it to Toyota dealer and Trade it in for Trecel that the end of Isuza in America.

@tommurphy4307 8 дней назад

isuzu i-mark diesel is one of the best cars they ever offered here. the first trooper 1.9s were the better ones.

Hey Scotty, you mentioned that Suzuki makes great motorcycles but they also make great Marine engines. I have a Suzuki outboard 225 horsepower and it runs like a champ.😊

I had a Suzuki Grand Vitara and loved it. So much so I’ve looked at newer models for when I move to the EU to get one. One of the best vehicles and cheap to maintain cars I’ve ever had. Ended up giving it to my brother when he needed a car. Sadly extremely hard to get parts.

Someone take a 2006-2008 V6 Grand Vitara to Scotty, I bet he'll regret his words. I got this car and it its simply a beast. I can't do it cause I live outside of the us tho, but someone please do justice to this magnificent car!!

I've got two Equator pickups. Mechanically a Nisan Frontier. Dirt cheap when Suzuki announced they were bailing on the US market in 2012. I love them. I also have a newer Frontier. A friend bought the Frontier new after borrowing one of my Suzis a few times. The Frontier is not nearly as good. Just specd out differently. I got it when he died unexpectedly.

@jimdavis5230 28 дней назад

Now being 67 I have owned many different makes of car over the years. Most of them broke down at some point and some broke down several times. However, the two Suzuki Swift's I currently own have never broken down. One of them is 14 years old and still passes it's annual safety inspection with flying colours. I therefore conclude that Scotty can't tell the difference between reliable and unreliable cars. I find that somewhat worrying.

I rented a Suzuki Samurai years ago. It was the scariest vehicle I ever rented. It was unstable in freeway driving. It felt like it was wandering on its own & required many steering corrections to drive straight. Spooky. It acted possessed.

@frederick6008 29 дней назад

Scotty, were you able to clear all the codes?

@danc.9554 16 дней назад

Small Suzukis sold in Europe and the UK are pretty much like budget Toyotas. They are very reliable little cars requiring very little maintenance. Now, their newer compact crossovers with turbocharged engines probably need more maintenance, but they are holding up pretty well so far. Better than most tiny turbo engines.

I will agree. My GF bought a Suzuki. Great vehicle until it breaks. Economy vehicle and would've been fine for off-roading as but parts and servicing is hard to come by with these vehicles.

I had a Suzuki samurai x-90 and 2 swifts I absolutely loved them and yes they were all reliable cars for me the samurai was underpowered. I believe that last generation XL7 was basically a GM with the 3.6 general motors I thought Scotty would know that by now

A huge amount of Suzuki Swifts [small car] running around here in New Zealand.They have a good reputation here.They now have a CVT trans now which would be a deal breaker for me though.The Sport with a manual and turbocharged is pretty fast and fun by all accounts though.Reasonably priced as well.Our gas is about $3 a litre so small cars are the thing.

@boilerroomed3682 28 дней назад

My EX '05 Suzuki 140 HP Outboard ran very well, until. Parts were available but expensive of course. The youngster I sold the boat to has it running good again after 20 years! None the less, I'd still recommend against the Suzuki's because the Yamaha's are WAY more popular even though more expensive. Meaning way more parts available and guys who can fix them, etc....

@mCblue79 29 дней назад

There are a lot of Suzuki Swift's on the road here in Australia, which was a decent little car. But they're getting a little long in the tooth now. Not sure if they were sold in the US?

@craigsampson3386 28 дней назад

Looking on Wikipedia they only got some like the 1st gen from 1985-1988 under a different name the Suzuki Forsa/Cultus and under different manufacturers badges too like being rebadged as the Chevrolet Sprint and Pointiac Firefly in Canada. 2nd gen in the 1990s was rebadged as a Geo Metro but I think they never got any of the fast sporty versions in North America like we did in Australia such as the Swift GTi, so they have always been a joke over there and even referenced in the Simpsons by Ned Flanders being slow lol. From what I can see they never got any newer Swift generation models though like from the early 2000s and onwards which is a shame because they're great cars. Australia is set to receive the new generation Swift next month actually in June, to replace the outgoing generation thats been here since 2016.
