Been renting the auto model more than a month. For the low selling price I think it's reliable and very fuel efficient car. The controls and driveability is smooth and effortless. Definitely worth buying if you have a restricted budget. The downside is it doesn't have rear wipers, the infotainment screen is pretty bad, rear windows are not electric, and the dashboard and instrument display seem cheap and toyish.
I've been driving a rented S-Presso for the last two weeks in South Africa. Comments are... a) v frugal. Averages 24 km/l no probs. b) engine sounds 'agricultural' c) Tackles hills in 5th no probs d) Terrible on dirt track roads e) lacks any sophistication whatsoever f) has been beaten with the ugly stick Edit: a couple of additional points after handing the car back... - after 1,700 km, average fuel economy improved to 25.5 km/l (71.8 mpg) - there's no rear wiper or rear washer; not a good idea in South Africa! - it's impossible to see the left hand stalk as it's obscured by the steering wheel - rear parcel shelf doesn't lift when you open the rear hatch. Much as I hate the weird looks, being shaken to pieces on dirt track roads & the zero NCAP rating, the S Presso has its virtues.
lol cool review/summary on your rental. Do you know what's the best "cosmetics lift" on ANY ugly car? Just put on some nice Rims. It will transform the most grotesque of cars, just Like getting a new hair cut(It works on some people... not all). Just in case someone owns it and wants to upgrade the looks.
I'm looking to buy a new car. So far, its a toss up between the Renault Kwid or the Suzuki S-presso. Open to other ideas though. requirements: * must be affordable *must be an automatic
Hy beautiful !!🙋🙋, I am from India, this car is made here and exported in many other countries , between the qwid and the espresso , I would highly recommend u to go for the spresso as it has a japanese engine which is much more peppy to drive , much more refined n smooth n silent as compared to the qwid, not only that the spresso can go more than 100 kms in one gallon of fuel or 20 to 28 kms per litre , spresso is smaller and narrower than the qwid which makes it easy to go through dense traffic and narrow streets, it is higher in height which makes getting in and out very comfy as u dont have to bend much, price wise both have the same price here in India........and as for the automatic option, spressso is known for being the best automatic in its class !!...go for it gorgeous !!😍😍
I really think you should go for the S-Presso... The Kwid is worth nothing on the second hand market... Suzuki doesn't loose much value and you won't loose money... And Suzuki won't take your whole paycheck if something breaks and the Kwid will as it is a Renault... Please don't buy a Kwid...
I know of someone that bought a Kwid... She bought it for R120 000 (second hand) it was so bad, she drove it for 4 months and decided to let it go... She struggled so much to get rid of it and she finally let it go for R88 000... Please don't buy one, rather get a Suzuki S-Presso as I said Suzuki's hold their value better and won't take your whole paycheck if something breaks...
@@kgopotsoskhumbuzo4291 design is Indian taste, nothing wrong with that. But for people outside India it just looks weird and ugly. Could have tweaked it a little bit to fit in different markets, the celerio appeals to many people. I think the car is too small to even try to pretend its an SUV, could have been a nice looking little hatchback.
Yeah thats sad...but nice try, it wont make me stop buying this because of this stupid NCAP crap.. Why? Are you gonna crash that car? Even the porsche with a perfectly starred NCAP could kill an actor inside
@@julietmcguire awesome would be nice to see your guys views, I've seen Marius from Ignition and we actually already have one as my wife couldn't wait. But will still like to see your guys view :-)
You know I don’t understand that 1 year of free insurance idea. In the US insurance is always third party (Geico, Nationwide, etc). I assume thats the same in SA for the most part? I mean I know VW Citi Golfs were stolen so much that insurance companies stopped insuring them haha, so the third party insurance idea bust be similar, but dealers are able to offer it as well? Or are they just offering to *pay* for your warranty at a basic level? Also side note: great video as always Jules! Always great to watch your videos after a hard day. Stay healthy!
in the past i've purchased a new car in the U.S. that came with a year of comprehensive insurance as well. They didn't pay for my own private insurance, it was a policy that they purchase bulk from an insurance underwriter and at the time of purchase they hand you the policy/coverage paper work. Of course it didn't offer liability coverage but i was able to get that on my own. it was definitely nice having that year of comprehensive coverage included because that meant i didn't have to worry about that portion of insurance payment for the first year so instead i put that extra money towards paying down the car loan a bit faster. Since the car manufacturer/dealer purchased the insurance plans bulk they probably got it for 1/3rd the price of what a regular consumer would have to pay. i was quite happy with the deal.
Just read an article about this one's fuel economy and it was shocking to see on a 27L tank that does 318km and a 8.5L/100km. No thanks my little Kwid is still better than that in the fuel department
Any car is a death trap if you don't know how to drive or are unlucky. Even top of the range german car would likely kill you even when it collides with a budget car at high speed. Crash tests have deceived many to believe they are in a tank only to be killed by an avanza with 0 star rating
..its the best in class for everyday chores !!, can go more than 70 miles per gallon, does 0 to 70 mph in 12 sec, smooth refined and rock solid reliable engine , japanese tech, its only 5 feet wide which makes it cut through dense traffic and narrow streets easily, tall boy design makes getting in and out a breez as u dont have to bend much, 180 mm ground clearance makes it jump over uneven surfaces and bumps, feature loaded ( abs, ebd, 2 airbags, touch screen info, remote central locking, best in class AC, power steering, power windows etc........would u still say what u said !!???😊😊😊
Any person can clearly see she is sitting in a be up - as mentioned at the start of the video because at the time she was in lockdown.. Hence the sticker on the drivers headrest - indicating that you need to assume she was reviewing the SPresso at the time
In India, it's the most roasted abhorrent vehicle till this date.even kids aren't forgiving this ugly SUV design. Partially due to the fact that Suzuki is known for making cars which are not even 1 star worthy in crash test. Your review is great, as always. Stay safe :)
its actually Maruti that's more known for the 1-star crash ratings, Suzuki of Japan makes very safe cars for the world market. it's the Maruti's designed for India that are the worst, and then if any of those models get exported elsewhere, they improve the crash standards to meet the requirements of country that it's being exported to.
Do you guys don't even care about safety.Its a 0 star car and you loved it where Mahindra xuv300 is 5 star rated but you don't liked it. And it's such a ugly looking car but for you Mahindra cars are ugly. What's wrong with you guys.
Ok, the Suzuki s-presso and to begin with, I hate the looks, sorry, its too boxy for my liking and I know people will say Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for me sorry just not my cup of tea or coffee. There's also the name S presso, kind of like saying "hey look at me i'm driving a coffee machine"🤢🤔. The interior again i'm not a fan of the placement of the mini style speedometer sorry. It may be a cheap car, but I will never buy one. There are cars that are better looking and just as practical. Don't get me wrong I do love some cars Suzuki makes but the S presso is not one of them.

Juliet drives the Susuki S Presso, she didn't even start it,,,,did enjoy the stereo
Thanks Juliet. Ok not for me but that's an amazing value with the warranty etc.
got mine this cars easy to drive the clutch is simple❤😂
Me like you especially when you sing 💕😂😂😂
I've been driving a rented S-Presso for the last two weeks in South Africa. Comments are...
a) v frugal. Averages 24 km/l no probs.
b) engine sounds 'agricultural'
c) Tackles hills in 5th no probs
d) Terrible on dirt track roads
e) lacks any sophistication whatsoever
f) has been beaten with the ugly stick
Edit: a couple of additional points after handing the car back...
- after 1,700 km, average fuel economy improved to 25.5 km/l (71.8 mpg)
- there's no rear wiper or rear washer; not a good idea in South Africa!
- it's impossible to see the left hand stalk as it's obscured by the steering wheel

@@someguy007 In the case of the S-Presso, that would be like giving Botox injections to The Elephant Man...
Best UpS-Presso review ever seen😄Looking foward to a real world review soon.
You're so brutally honest😂❤️
Due to Corona Virus the world economy suffers a lot. All consumers will prefer value for money cars like S-Presso👍
3:37 Simple realistic review 😂 glad found this video
I stay in India and have seen a lot of these cars on road lately, mostly driven by first time buyers..
Best advice I've heard in a long time. And it was FREE! Let it gooooooooooooo...
as at june 2021 S-Presso is R154 000 for the GL+. a increase of 20k within a year.
Never a DULL MOMENT! 😁👏🏼🎉
Suzuki Ignis, Highest trim Level, got five stars NCAP Test in Europe!
A fiat Panda, all they need to do now is bring out the 4X4 version to accompany the Jimny since the latter is not 4 door. A baby Chelsea Tractor!

Very original review. The lockdown brings out the creative side. Loved the cheerful yellow.
Thank god. Tata fans are not in the comments!
Thank God.
Review of boot space showing suitcases etc would be nice.
love your reviews very entertaining
Cape Town dealer sells Suzuki with 10 year/1 million km warranty at no extra cost. Shop around.
Hi Juliet! Haha... Thanks
Its December 2022 and the price of this car has gone from R134 000 to R169 90. Thanks inflation.
Best performance SUV look
How can u call this a SUV? Its look a hatchback.
In which mode are you sitting in? Because I can't find one S-PRESSO with a sunroof?
Well thats clearly not the Spresso..
Saaaame! I was thinking the same thing!
0 star
NCAP CAR
Despite having features loaded
😜😜😜😜
Par bro car kharid liya he hamne.Ab kuch saal bad hi sell karenge.Global NCAP test pehle hota toh nhi kharidte😒😞.
@@gautamkumarkhillo3418 it has good resale value also

One "beep" missed towards the end 😂😂😂😂😂
Maruti Is just a SERVICE PROVIDER of Suzuki
Do they all come with sunroof? Or is it an ad on
What car are you sitting in, because the dealers assure me you can't get a sunroof fitted to a S-presso?
Pity about the language. Would have loved to watch
I am selling my S. Presso. The motor is a bit under powered. And the boot is a bit small. Going to get the Breeza.
I wont lie your vids are so fun its kinda like how i wanna be when i shoot my videos and fail hopelessly!!
Review starts at 1:35. So guys skip to there.😁
they give sun roof?
Nice car, are you going to be trying out the Renault Triber? Cheapest 7 seater in South Africa.
The minute we are out of lockdown and I can get my hands on one
@@julietmcguire awesome would be nice to see your guys views, I've seen Marius from Ignition and we actually already have one as my wife couldn't wait. But will still like to see your guys view :-)
It nice mpv good look and 7 seat but safety and power of engine 🤔. It sell good number (where I live)
Nice
India's most funny car . This is the meme king of car
Safety rate is 0. In India we called it "Tin ka dabba"
Can you explain, please?
Why you worry about the safety rate…? India = NO SAFETY NECESSARY 😂😂😂
Ignis is better
Wait.. it has a sunroof??? 🥺
Too many es pressos?
Love your reviews you make a laugh alot😍😅😗

Wednesday's aren't the same anymore😪
One free advice for you, drive it, give a proper review.

I'll stick my with go lux lol. Was hoping this would be a better car but the 1.0 is just too tiny for limpopo roads. Minimum 1.2 to stay 120kmph
Why are some expletives filtered, but then ‘everyone’s a fucking expert’ 😂😂
Next time drive suzuki s cross
Please review the kia picanto (2020)
Barista express milk
great thanks :) are you English or Australian or south African ? lol
Ugh, no - just more proof that it's nearly impossible to make a nice looking small car.
Kia picanto the best
Death trap on wheels
Any car is a death trap if you don't know how to drive or are unlucky. Even top of the range german car would likely kill you even when it collides with a budget car at high speed. Crash tests have deceived many to believe they are in a tank only to be killed by an avanza with 0 star rating
One can walk into any FIAT dealer and negotiate a Panda for R130000 or even less, rendering all these ungainly corner cutting budget cars irrelevant
How many Air Bags?!
A fun car like you Juliet.
It has zero NCAP. Enjoy.
Pappadam 🌝🌝🌝
Made in India to keep the cost competitive
Lol, The Killers Let's gooo.
Which is the car she is sitting in and reviewing, I don't think that is an spresso....she should of atleast sat inside spresso and reviewed it
We are in Lockdown Shree. Therefore not possible to be sitting in an S-Presso. Watch the review ;)
Ok will expect a review once lockdown ends
its not suzuki spresso you driving dont fool us we are not a FOOL
Is it manufactured in Japan ?
no. its made in bukatutan!
Why the fuck is there a sun roof on Suzuki S presso there is no sun roof on the indian version.
😁😁😁
Juliet, if the color schemes starts bothering you, it's time for a hair upgrade
I'm gonna be honest, if doesn't look good
Why this Niagara falls kind of speech ? Slow down. Fast speech of this kind makes you nervous.
Kwid amt vs s presso amt

Totally agree with you, it is literally a below average product
The only thing that’s stopping me from buying this car as a first time driver is its look. It’s so ugly😂
Ur review gal😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
you need to have kids
Superior quality suv
Flexibly levels are high🙊
Ugly as hell but probably a good buy
sunroof in a Spresso this is so funny 😂😂😂😂 no build quality by suzuki yet again
