My friend asked me what I thought of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! because she's interested in it. But I know three inches above nothing about Suzuki. Can any of you ladies or gentlemen offer an experienced opinion?

It was good enough for Top Gear

It's a rebadged Daewoo. They're quite terrible cars unfortunately.

All I know is I drove a trade-in and hated it the whole 10 feet I had to drive it. Couldn't hear anything but fluids sloshing every time I upshifted, downshifted, sped up, slowed down, stopped or started off. Drove me crazy.

It's basically a Chevrolet Lacetti. Top Gear used one as the Reasonably Priced Car, that's good enough reason for me.

(I know nothing about Suzukis, that's all I have to share.)

This means it can be beaten by a brown Kia.

Had a red 2008 model as a loaner car a few years back. It was pretty decent. I'd say go for it.

I don't know much about them besides they didn't sell too well, so parts availability/cost might be a concern.

Also, I like how they copied an old road test of one for the description. And, no interior pics?

Basically identical to the Chevy Optra sold here in Canada for maybe 2 years. It is more Camry than almost any Camry.

From personal experience, you don't want a car from a marque no longer sold here. Simple parts needed for repairs are ridiculously priced.

As someone who worked at a place that sold them new I can say.... they're not bad. Just don't expect parts and service to be cheap or readily available.

They're cheap basic transportation, but no less reliable than your typical Nissan or Mazda. or Kia. DO expect them to be treated like a cheap car, and often not maintained by previous owners.
