Let's just say I've driven 2 '07 Lianas, and the road grip was VERY poor. I'm guessing - more like, hoping they've improved the road grip in the later models.
You're saying the door's cloth is similar to the seat, and then you're contradicting yourself by saying it's black as compared to the skin colored seats. Make up your mind before you post man.
My point about the free space was, that it should have a flap of some kind. Suzuki can provide me another panel that big to store cassettes - but at the end of the day, both panels will be useless to most people, as not too many people use CDs/Cassettes anymore. Besides, even the glass holders in the front don't have any sliding lid/flap, unlike the Civics and Corollas, so all that space makes the interior look rubbish. And don't even get me started on the location of the clock...
