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.

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.

It was a great car that I sold last year, and I still see it driving around town. Engine and Transmission only had regular maintenance, such as fluid changes, belts, hoses, and spark plugs, and an alternator at 190K miles. I miss that little car!

Shows traction control error and reduced engine power messages on the dash. Otherwise runs fine both engine and tranny with 229,000 miles. Don’t know if engine was ever repaired.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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
@craigsampson3386 6 месяцев 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.

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.

Packed with modern tech and safety, plus its retro styling is so cool and gets alot of positive looks and comments from strangers.

I am still daily driving my 2010 suzuki SX4 with 300,000 km. It is the 2.0 li. And everything works on it. I bought it in 2015 with 90,000 km and have spent about $1,000 a year in repairs. Suspension and water pump work. Since 2023 parts are no longer available in Canada. Parts common to other cars such as brakes etc. Are readily available. Other parts like brake backing plate takes 4 months to get. They are cheap and I need a second one so I can afford to wait for repair parts. I have a 6 speed manual and still it won't get out of it's own way.
@craigsampson3386
@craigsampson3386 6 месяцев назад
Looks like you might need to find another importer/seller if its taking you that long to import parts lol also these cars weren't intended or designed to be fast but they're adequate. There is aftermarket turbo kits, headers etc available for the SX4 though if you really wanted to make it fast.

I disagree with Scotty. I own a 2013 Grand Vitara I bought in 2018 with 53,000 km on it and 4 1/2 years later its been fantastic. It's made in Japan with a Suzuki 2.4 na inline mounted engine mated to a reliable Aisin (Toyota) transmission, low range transfer case, locking center diff and well programmed traction control. Its one of the most capable compact SUVs ever made. It feels very solid and well put together, drives like a car with very little body roll and has zero squeaks or rattles. Japanese made Suzukis have a good reliabilty and owner satisfaction rating and are an underrated brand.
