Those SX4s were very reliable . Even Consumer Reports gave it a thumbs up. They had a neat awd system. Fun to drive in the snow with a manual.
Have been driving a Suzuki Alto for a while now, absolutely love it. It has 23 years on it but still drives well, simple tech made to last long
That suzuki is prime example why Suzuki's are regarded as one of the most reliable and durable cars.
Suzuki pulled out because CAFE. My 1990 Geo Tracker (Suzuki) has 210,000 miles and runs like new for a daily driver.
This is Scotty, you know. Opinions and conjecture are "facts", not easily searchable data.
I am the proud owner of a Suzuki SX4 sedan 1.6 liters, M16A engine, from 2012, with 167,000 kilometers, manual transmission.
Fuel efficiency is: City 10 km/liter. Highway 18 km/liter.
I bought it used in 2016. It has never failed me, very reliable. I maintain it strictly and have never had any problems. I put quality oil according to my budget (Ravenol DXG 5w30) and always original Suzuki filters. Although he is beginning to show his age, he continues to run without problems. Last year and this year we went on vacation in the vehicle, we traveled 8000 kilometers each time, and without any problems. I'm from Chile. Greetings.
kilometer and liters? wrong channel brother
@@Daniel-pc2ov I'm sorry, I forgot that You don't know what a kilometer or a liter is. City: 23.5 m/g.
Highway 42 m/g.
@@jonpinones6247 The internet is full of conversion computers. He's trolling you, but you were kind. Well played.
That's actually a respectable little car. Cheap to run and the guy makes money from using it for work. What's not to like?
Years ago, my brother bought a new Suzuki Aerio (I dubbed it, AERIO SPEEDWAGON). He only had it for a month before the main bearings stated to rumble. He took it back to the dealership and the service manager said that that was normal. My brother builds race engines and he told the manager that that is NEVER normal. They refused to fix it and he refused to take it home. About 6 months or so later Suzuki recalled Aerios for main bearing failure.
Suzuki cars are pretty popular in Japan. Their Swift Sports come with a 1400cc or 1600cc engine and either MT or AT. The 4x4 Jimny, 4x4 Jimny Sierra, Carry kei pickup truck, and their 2-seat Cappuccino sportster are very popular models.
In 2020, Motortrend called the Jimny “a real driver’s car … With classic 4x4 design cues and an old-school driveline in a pint-size package, it’s like driving the Jeep Wrangler’s little brother.” A forbidden fruit in the US, you are unfortunately missing out on a great vehicle.
Here in Europe, Suzukis are popular. Statistics show that suzuki is actually in the top 4 car brands, along with honda, lexus and toyota when it comes to reliability. They are somewhat simple, but that is probably one of the reasons why they rarely break. Toyota and Suzuki have been working together for a few years now, like the aircross sold in europe is a rebranded rav 4, and the suzuki swace is a corolla. Also, toyota are using some technology from suzuki in the compact car segment, while suzuki got to use hybrid technology from toyota. Suzuki will manufatcture some smaller models as rebranded toyotas in some markets.
Have to admit that I LOVED my SUZUKI SWIFT GTI as well as my Sidekick!
They never marketed them right. Super reliable!
I owned a Suzuki Swift back jn the day. It was a rock solid little car.
Bought a 2009 sx4 and still running strong today, love that thing
i'd like to have one of the awd ones. i'd trust this car over any subaru
My parents had Suzuki Baleno 4WD and now SX4 4WD 2009 and 4WD never failed. Suzuki really makes best 4WDs.
Yes Suzuki are plenty here in the Philippines and we love it. Rarely breaks.
Suzuki car and motorbike is built to last. Here in Indonesia 2000-2012 Suzuki Carry, APV, and many other variant car is still going around with the van variant used daily to carry 800-1.2 ton of goods through mountain road
Scotty is THE MAN! Love watching this channel and I've learned a lot.
I absolutely love Suzuki's I had 3 Suzuki swifts a 1988 Suzuki samurai and the cute 1996 Suzuki X-90 it was a sad day when they left North America. I would love to get my hands on a new Suzuki jinmy
Here in Europe Suzukis are very popular. Especially SUVs Vitara and S-cross, also compact hatchback Swift.
You guys are missing out so bad there over in North America, the new Suzuki Jimny is awesome i bought a new one in 2020 here in Australia. The new 4 door version is releasing next year too which would've suited the North American market better.
Remember the Suzuki Samurai from the ‘80s? 😂
Sure do they're awesome 👌
this suzuki car in Europe was quite popular back in the day. it's a good car
i have a 2007 Pontiac G6 with 155,000 miles and it’s been great! 2.4 L does 0-60 in 7 secs for me and it’s been pretty reliable. needs a new catalytic converter but there’s a recall for it
Not bad
@@vondrz1391 wrong, it has perfect fuel trim, in perfect timing, doesn’t burn a drop of oil, no leaks or bad gaskets, no rust, and the converters on these are replaced free by GM because they were faulty from the factory
My uncle in Nova Scotia bought a 2006 G6 brand new with the V6. Beautiful car. Didn't do anything but regular maintenance according to the schedule. He sold it for $600 dollars a few months ago because the rocker panels rusted out even though he undercoated and rustproofed it and it wouldn't pass the provincial safety inspection. Never had an issue with the powertrain at all because he maintained it to a T. I'd say he got his money's worth.
@@w.a.l5202 "rustproof" loo
@@w.a.l5202 lol
Haha i have one of these 2013, is comfortable enough for city, no leaks, running like a clock, a nice cheap and simple car.
suzuki is like that one support class that has 0 attack stat but has every other tool in the book
I think Suzuki got so much bad publicity from the Samurai that they could never fully recover. The joke was that the Samurai's rolled over so often that Suzuki installed a sunroof in the floor. Suzuki's were better as time went on, but why would you buy one over a Toyota?
It's quite cheaper than Toyota and equipped with best 4WD.
I had a Suzuki XL7 and loved it. Still rememeber it had good tech options for its time. The 3rd row was nice for extra storage room.when seats down. What I really liked was the overhead air vents that went all the way to the back so you could really cool the passengers down in this California summer.
Had 5 suzuki cars. All were good cars. Never a day of problems
Suzuki is just about as reliable as a Toyota if you do regular maintenance. A lot of people who bought those were young people who unfortunately didn’t take care of them. So just about every Suzuki you see is all beat up.
@@PS-js9oh😂😂😂😂😂
How is it getting parts for it?
Not really. Big difference between Toyota and Suzuki, Suzuki is more comparable to Mazda. They're still great cars though, just make sure you get one that's made in Japan.
Id buy a honda first....but theyre pretty good
I'll keep my 1989 nissan pu. 5speed, almost 400,000. All original 2nd clutch...
Just wanted to say thanks for this video with the explanation on how to read Fuel Trim and what it means. I'll check my 10 year old car tomorrow. The lambda is 0.998% and I clean the MAF every year but never checked the fuel trims.
That's the thing about these fancy tools. I have one, but don't know what a lot of it actually means. They need to give you parameters for normal running.
TM Loyal fan Scotty I’m wondering why you haven’t commented or posted anything about “cablegate” which is a serious issue with a main powering cable on the 2021 -2023 Toyota RAV4 and Prime models that rusts and is severe enough to severely affect these vehicles. Repairs can be $ 6,000 dollars. I’m really disappointed that you haven’t commented Please comment
Suzuki's a very good reliable car got them in Australia and we have a Suzuki Baleno and it's a very good little car and it goes well in Australia there are a lot of hatch backs like Toyota Yarises Mazda 2s Honda Jazzes and l know a lot of people who own them and drive them us Australians like them
I've had my SX4 since 07'. I love it. It's bullet-proof. My delemma is the topcoat has been peeling for the last 5 yrs. and I have a problem with paying more for a paint job, than the car is worth. It is the most overlooked, under-rated car on the road.
paint it urself my boy
@@wolfBC I can't for health reasons.
@@gabepettinicchio7454 fair enuff if the car still drives who cares about paint lol
You could watch some videos where they sand off existing paint and they paint it with tractor paint using painter's roller. It's cheap and fast and doesn't pose significant health threat other than paint particles while sanding. It doesn't look very aesthetical though.
Here in the UK Suzukis have a good name, I am on my third. Now retired and widowed the little Suzuki Celerio does me fine, cheap to run 60 mpg, cheap insurance.
"Go to a junkyard!" (showing photo of Chevrolet dealership) - savage!
You should do a video on the top 10 components that should always be replaced with OEM parts. I've had several situations over the years where off-shore parts failed over and over again, until they were replaced with original parts. Once replaced with OEM parts, they powered on for the remaining life of the vehicle for many years. I've experienced these issue with; mass airflow sensors, catalytic converters, distributor caps, spark plugs and coils.
My ex wife used to have an orange 09 5 spd honda fit sport, she started using it for grubhub in fall of 2019, when they first started in our area in NH, that little honda paid for itself twice over just doing grubhub , she did it for about 2 years, part time.. one the best little cars we had. We loved it. I see honda fits in decent condition for $3k -$4k sometimes..these are decent cars, ive always liked them.. but id buy a fit first
These were popular here in Québec because they had AWD
Wish they'd bring the Jimny to NA!👍
I had a turbo 3 cylinder Sprint. A Suzuki. It was an 87 I bought in 93 for $2300, sold for $5250 in 2012. It was a reliable fun little car.
Toyota recalled over a million vehicles yesterday. No video?
Impossible Toyota does not make faults!
it takes time to make videos
@@scottykilmer can't wait!
My son has had a couple of them. He liked them a lot, hard to get parts
We got a Suzuki Swift in 2021. It is the cheapest new-car regarding maintenance. Brands like Ford or Volkswagen ask double or triple of the price for the same thing. They are cheap, but it's a perfect car to just run around in. It's also Japanese made.
😂😂😂 Love the junk yard pic
Finally, Scotty noticed Suzuki's reliability. I always said it, take a look at Suzuki engine and you will like it. Their exterior quality pretty solid too. Check out the 2.4L Suzuki grand Vitara , if you liked the sx4 than you will definitely like the Vitara.
I have the same car and same year here in Sydney. been on long journeys 165000 kilometres, it has never let me down, loves the long drives and seems to just purr along. Great 2 litre engine.Use penrite oils all the time on it full synthetic..only had to replace front brakes//
I wonder if he charged the 500lb guy for 2 people ?
I am an American living in Thailand, and I am purchasing a Suzuki Swift GLX for my girlfriend. Here, and throughout SE Asia, Suzuki has a great reputation for longevity and serviceability. Also it’s a sharp looking MINI, without the price tag or service issues.
A man after my own heart --What the Hell is this 😎😎😎😎🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Right at home
They have a great all-wheel-drive system
I take it you don’t shop at O’Reillys ? 😅
In the Philippines, much of suzukis sold here came from India and Indonesia except for the Jimnny imported from Japan.
My son has a 2012 and has nothing but trouble with his. Another NY car. Dusty brakes. Both rear calipers, rotors and all the brake lines. The rear end had to be replaced. He has had other issues I can't remember.
Hey Scotty wish you would do a used truck roundup. Which used Tundra years are the best? Is Nissan Titan worth looking at? Is there a rule for buying a used Ford or Chevy? Thanks, Merry Christmas.
I can vouch for the titan. Original 205k on the dash. I drive highway. 2 hr round trip 5 days a week. I get 22 mpg. I baby it. 😂. Had it since 100k. I just changed the typical front suspension parts and o2 sensors. They have evap issues but easy solenoid fix. Great powerful truck . Depends what you need it for
Get a tundra from 2007-2013 with the 5.7 engine. I bought my 2013 brand new and it still runs like new and has never let me down. Toyota messed up big time discontinuing the 5.7
Looks also like the intake is disconnected from the filter box !
Just for the fun of it I looked up a OEM MAF sensor and it was $600, ouch. I think I'd try a couple of additional after-market sensors first, unless he can find a good used OEM.
Suzukis sell well in Australia we got small hatches to mini wranglers jimnys very good on feul easy to park and with toyota parts cant go wrong
22 12 23, Have an SX4 1.6 Automatic petrol one here in the UK. (Fiat's Suduci was originally available at same time too, almost identical but with cosmetic differences.) Mine's 12 years old with 74 000 miles & performs without problems. Has original Iridium Spark Plugs. One of your vid's says they're good for 100 000 miles - does that still stand ? Also Suzuki's UK HQ confirm the Automatic's fluid is good for 99 000 miles. Car is now 12 years old with visually clean fluid but l reckon a fluid change will do no harm - too early ? What's your valuable advice Please ?
Suzuki has a good reputation in Australia. They are popular, inexpensive, and tend me be less expensive and more reliable than Hyundai/Kia.
My day isn’t complete without watching Scotty.
Suzuki automobiles are THE BEST. In fact, cheap & best. Talk to anyone from or in Bharat (India), you will know.
For a moment I thought that was a Daihatsu terios/Toyota Rush
They do look similar, although Terios is larger car, being SUV.
2 litter engine???!! It should run great! Maybe fast....
But I rented one once.
It struggled on the interstate at 65 or more.... sounded like it was running at high RPMs!
OK for around town. Or for and old fart like me! I'll just keep a truck around too. Need something for mountain roads and buying washer and dryers!
I'd swear that little Suzukie was a two cylinder engine... and NOT a 2 litre engine!!
You've got some beat up car. My parent's SX4 1.6 4 cylinder 4WD top speed is 120 mph and it runs perfectly fine (little loud) at 100 mph on highway.
Had a Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 it was one tough reliable little rig that would embarrasss alot of Wranglers out in the woods but it was a gutless pig
"a gutless pig" Sincere thanks for the chuckle!
Yep but if I want to go fast I jump in my 370Z😊
Honda just recalled 2.5Million cars for fuel pump issues causing stalling..Improperly molded impellers..
Spring already! ?
Megazip oem Mass airflow sensor 233.00$
I had a 93 Swift. My daughter called it a tin can on a skateboard which wasn't far from the truth. It was a 1.3L 4cylinder, 5 speed, was fun to drive and sometimes got 50 mpg.
Scotty I put filtered water in my battery instead of distilled because I didn't know better and a little crud from around battery holes got in battery water too. Will this destroy the battery in my Nissan Maxima 2002?
I have 2 Suzuki motorcycles and love em. Always liked their cars and love to spot the Suzuki S on their grill.
5:11 - OUCH! 😢
Can't say much about their cars. But I do know know Suzuki makes a dam good outboard motor!
I had a suzuki equator truck and the looks were better than the Nissan frontier which it was built on
Fiat also sells this car as a Fiat Sedici
Where is the owner going to find a new MAF sensor if Suzuki pulled out of US market? Available from overseas perhaps?
Junk yard?
Suzuki still has a handful of dealers, I work for one. They do ship backorders from Japan for some models, this is one of them. Generally 3 to 5 weeks leadtime.
On a V6, single TB, the MAF would affect both banks, correct? Not just one.
I wish Suzuki would make a car to compete with the Miata and put the Hayabusa motorcycle engine in it.
Actually they did make a concept in collaboration with Gran Turismo 7.
"The Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo is an old-but-new virtual race car. It's based on the GSX-R/4 concept from 2001 but thoroughly updated to keep up with the times. The two-seater speedster is technically mid-engined since the ICE sits between the two axles, behind the front wheels.
Rather than having an engine borrowed from a car, it uses the high-revving inline-four taken from the Hayabusa sports bike. The 1.3-liter mill works with three electric motors, two driving the front wheels and one mounted at the back to give the Suzuki Vision Gran Turismo an all-wheel-drive layout. The combined output is 426 horsepower (318 kilowatts) at a screaming 9,700 rpm and a peak torque of 610 Newton-meters (450 pound-feet).
The hybrid machine weighs only 970 kilograms (2,138 pounds) and features a design clearly derived from the Swift Sport. From the two-tone alloy wheels to the Champion Yellow body color, the latest VGT is essentially a hot hatch turned into a roofless sports car that sadly exists only in the virtual realm. On the Gran Turismo official website, we get to learn a Gr.3 version will follow at a later date.
As with the other VGT cars before it, Suzuki's digital creation has zero chance of entering production. Hopefully, a real car will be built to be showcased at public events such as the Tokyo Auto Show. We'd argue it represents a vast improvement over the original and somewhat quirky concept from more than two decades ago."
Pull out and save money. Good advice for many activities and ventures!
8:13 I thought Scotty had a Glock for a second lol
He has it is just concealed.
Maruti Suzuki absolutely rules India!
500Ibs!? How 😮
What's up with the big circular hole in the air cleaner box?
Other than the CVT controller issues (factory recall), I've had no problems with mine.
Good stuff!
Merry Christmas Scotty Bless you and yours! All info you give us is priceless! Thank you -
I thought there was an age limitation for Uber cars
@scottykilmer. What tool scanner model is that one you used on this Suzuki???
XTOOL something.
It isnt that suzki are bad cars, it is just really hard to get parts and no one has knowledge how work on them. Every part has to be ordered and shipped. as no company made aftermarket parts as no one bought the cars to justify making the replacement parts
A mazda is far better choice than a suzki
No problem finding aftermarket parts up here in canada 😅
You are making my day wonderful despite what’s happening in Washington 😢
I was working at a Chevy deaker wgen Honda gave us the civic. we all laughed as it had a morter cycle engin in it lol
If memory serves me right… Scotty said the Samari was a POS and blew head gaskets all the time…, and no power.
Scotty, you were right. Toyota does have a new $19,000 truck. If you live in any of their markets in Africa, Asia, Latin America. A cargo bed, or enclosure can be added on by the buyer.
THANKS FOR THE INFO ON MY 95 TOYOTA COROLLA 1.8 HAS TWO HUNDRED PLUS MILES STILL GOING KNOCK ON WOOD!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I always thought Suzuki made a good car. I know the motorcycles are quite good. Never checked them out though, thanks Scotty.
Scotty chill 😭
Suzuki is probably the most Japanese,of all the Japanese cars..
i believe they are highly regarded and sell well outside the US !
I am driving a KIA Rio5. manual 5 speed. 40+ gpm trade in value 1K .new tires 700.00 crazy yet it runs great
😂😂😂
9:39 😅😆🤣😂
There is reliable Suzukis like this model but Do not buy a kizashi! Worst vehicle on the United States production line from Suzuki
Scotty please review Kia Rio 2024. Is it reliable and good to use it
