Suzuki Car Reviews

I have owned and driven cultus, santro and alto. Find below the comparison

1. Cultus: Suspension (Excellent), Road Grip (Excellent), Brakes (Satisfactory), A/C (Good) Seating Space (Excellent), Mileage on CNG (Excellent), Overall Quality of Car (Satisfactory)

2. Santro Club GV: Supension (Below Average), Road Grip (Below Average), Brakes (Good), A/C (Excellent), Seating Space (Below Average), Comfort (Below Average), Mileage on CNG (Excellent), Overall Quality of Car (Below Average), Steering is very hard not recommended for ladies, Shocks (Below Average)

3. Alto VXR: Suspension (Good), Road Grip (Good), Brakes (Excellent), A/C (Good), Seating Space (Average), Mileage on CNG (Good), Overall Quality of Car (Good)

I strongly Recommend every one to go for cultus and alto instead of Hyundai Santro.

Imported vehicles like vits and IST in a stylish hatch back category had set the market trend but buying such cars were risky in terms of no After Sales Back up and warranty.
I decided to buy SWIFT because of its Sporty Style and powerfull performance with 1.3L engine.
It may be a question mark to think hatch back in 1300cc that is for the first time in Pakistan. However the fuel milage of this car has really impressed me by giving 12~13 km/litre in city while on highway it gives me over 15 km/litre.
Price of Swift seems bit higher but if you campare with other 1300cc car like city and corolla, you will find more valueable features like Electric Power Steering, Power windows/ side mirrors, ABS, Immobilizer, Fog lamps, Alloy Wheels, matching side mirrors and handles and 4door speakers sound system makes me feel cool every time i ride it.
SWIFTcan be compared with imported Toyota IST but Swift has an edge of 2 years/ 50000 km warranty.
As far as its luggage capacity is concerned its tumble folding seat option gives my enough space to move luggage easily.
I would surely recommend to those who aspire for energy, style and a sporty driving experience.

GOT LIANA EMINENT 1.6 AUTO, I THINK BUYING A LIANA IS SIMPLY SMARTER THAN BUYING A COROLLA XLI I GOT BOTH AND I HATE DRIVING THE COROLLA, FIRST OF ALL LIANA IS MUCH EASIER TO DRIVE COZ OF THE GOOD POWER STEERING, COROLLA HAS A STEERING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE CALLED POWER STEERING AT ALL.

LIANA'S SEATING IS FAR MORE COMFORTABLE AND THE DRIVER FEELS LIKE DRIVING A CAR RATHER THAN A TRACTOR, ROAD CLEARANCE IS GOOD THE CAR HAS GOOD GRIP ON HIGHWAY AS WELL AS IN THE CITY,

THE SUSPENSION IS RESPONSIVE AND THE CAR DOESNT BUMP ON SPEED BREAKERS WITH 2 PASSENGERS AT THE BACK SEAT. THE CAR FULLY SATISFIES YOU WHEN YOU DRIVE IT, HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS AND STILL LOVE THE DRIVE, LIANA IS A CITY CAR WITH GOOD MILEAGE, GOOD HIGHWAY HANDLING, EASILY GOES TILL 170, JUST BUY A NEW ONE AND GET THE HORN AND TYRES CHANGED COZ ITS A SUZUKI AFTER ALL, THEY JUST DONT WANT YOU TO USE THE HORN INSTEAD THEY WANT YOU TO YELL AT THE PERSON IN THE CAR AT FRONT OF YOU.

MY RECOMMENDATION, BUY A LIANA RATHER THAN A LOW END CORROLLA OR IMPORTED CARS.

Overall Liana is an economical luxury car, general features are some how competable with HONDA or COROLLA, car exterior & interior is good specialy its JVC music system is very good.

I used 2007 model and found 3 main flaws i.e.

Car body shape is not aero dynamic on long route / high ways car dis balanced over 85-90 KM / Hour speed, might be its due to its extra highet.

Ignition coils became faulty after 2-3 years, this is the most common fault found in Liana, due to which car do not run smoothly on CNG & cause countineous missing. Repalcement cost is around PKR 18,000.

If genuine CNG injectors setting get out it get fixed very hardly.

Best feature is economical CNG comsuption, my Liana gave me around 180 KM in full tank.

Dear reader,
I know you must be hearing from many people about how bad this car is. Well, since I have myself driven a lot many cars and have tested them to the fullest extend possible, I have a little to say about this master car.
The Suzuki Liana is first of all is not preferred because it is a fully electronic car. Ordinary mechanics can not handle the likes of such cars. Mechanics who don't even know what Torque means. The car has to be given to an authorized Suzuki workshop in order to be repaired.
The Liana is also not favored due to it poor acceleration on CNG. This only happens when you use AC while driving it on CNG. The car's Micro processor cuts down the power from the engine to sustain economy and therefore it lacks acceleration.
Why would I want to buy the Liana? Well, it is a complete car for it's price. It lacks a strong body and a good torque but here are the following points:

1. Suzuki Liana offers ABS and traction control at a very affordable price of 13 lakh.
2. It is spacious more than the Corolla or City.
3. The car is extremely resistant to over-heating even though it is a Suzuki.
4. It has a very stable Rpm system. The car reacts quickly to overall clutch use and gear shifting.
5. The brakes, although being drums at rear, are better than Corolla or Civic. The weight of the car allows it's break down force to stay on track and avoid skidding.
6. The Liana is faster than the Corolla or city and accelerates better on higher gears only on fuel.
7. The car's overall handling is better than the Civic! The traction control is so stable that even the Honda civic is no match for it's handling.

Why won't you buy the Liana?

1. The car depreciates it's value even after a month use by 1 lakh.
2. The car is only meant for soft handling unlike the Corolla. It can give you a lot of trouble and may need repairs if not handled with care.
3. The aerodynamics of the car are horrible for corner taking. The car losses it speed while taking a corner.
