Hello all,
I am the originator of this thread, this thread was made by me to review the New Suzuki Cultus 2018 on principles of honesty and my past experience with other cars.
After keeping the car for 9 months, i have sold it.
I keep my cars superclean and few pakwheels member already know and would second my way of keeping the cars.
The car sold had 13,500km on odo, superclean inside out with no scratches outside or inside the car. I live in urban islamabad so car was literally used in and around F-Sectors of islamabad in these 8 months. never been to any bumpy road or driven by anyone else.
Reason of selling the car:-
With winters approaching in october 2018 i started to hear chu chu sound from the front suspension, ignored it as the sun rose with car being heated from the sun the chu chu vanished and the next morning it returned again. End of october i called the suzuki warranty manager and they happily changed the right and left control arms of the car. The sound remained even after replacement of control arms TWICE (right and left both).
With november starting and cold gripping the city the car started to make mroe chu chu sound and developed something new, whenever starting was turned with car idle or moving the steering started to make KR KR KR sounds (WHEN COLD) and when the sun warms the day the sound went away.
i got underneath the car and sprayed WD-40 on literally every rubber or bush i could find and got rid of the sound for 2 days and the sound returned back on the third day.
With above being taken into account when winter started to approach the interior plastic panels started to make rattling sounds which i diagnosed personally and fixed myself with regular shots of WD-40 BUT with winters getting colder day by day the car was becoming a headache for me.
With all the above in mind i raised the car at home and got underneath it and checked all the rubber parts, all the rubber parts are of the worst quality possible which caused them to harden in winters and eventually started showing signs of little cracks. bear in mind you can decrease quality of plastics and get away with it but when you save money on rubber parts upon weather changes they all collapse immediately.
Suzuki was happy to replace anything and everything in this car underwarranty as i have already stepped on their tails with my long emails and legal threats.
Keeping all the above in account, i posted add on pakwheels. I purchased this car in 2018 February. Suzuki was giving discount on blue colour Only VXL of 30 thousand but i fought my way through and purchased the SILVER VXL 2018 suzuki cultus for 13.60. At that time the invoice price was 13.91 (suzuki was having a hard time selling this car)
Verdict: After almost 8 months of this car usage and above taken in to account, i will NOT recommend someone in my circle to buy this car. Mainly due to inferior quality of items used in the suspension and everywhere all together. this car is NOT worth 1.5 million rupees. PERIOD. jazakallah
