Bought a daily driver.

Don't see many Suzukis around here much at all. When I do, they are the hatch version. Looks like a good pickup minus the automatic

Hope you like burning your hands off, changing oil on those is almost impossible. Suzuki thought it would be smart to put the oil filter RIGHT INSIDE the exhaust manifold. These things are POS's, sorry, but a focus/civic/sentra/anything except cobalts are better.

yea, i change oil all day long at work so its nothing new to me.

They did that in my sister's 94 6cyl Camry too. I don't know why they think it's a good idea to stick the oil filter between the exhaust manifold and the engine mount. The Camry has NO redeeming qualities though, I'd rather have the Suzuki.

Some of you guys are harsh, the guy has a nice, modern, reliable, comfortable car to get from point A to B. Who cares?

FTR, I had two BMWs (an E30 and an E36, both with service records, and the E36 was mint) and the E36 turned out to be the biggest pile of absolute shit I've ever owned. $8k in repairs over the four years I had it, and needing $4500 more in work when I sold it just to get it the hell out of my sight.

I won't touch a BMW without a warranty anymore.

I'm sorry for your loss........

You guys are brutal, sometimes it's nice to hop into a nice car that's comfortable and good on gas. I have my toy, I don't need to be speed racer every day on the street.

Nice pick up Soddy!

I wouldn't mind what Soddy got over my SRT daily. It's more comfy than my Mustangs and better on gas but still not at the true comfy comfy daily.

You can keep your so called "40 mpg" high maintenance bmw srt hands haha.

My BMW has only cost me about $200 in maintenance in in 3.5 years.... That only includes spark plugs, oil changes, and tires.

I am willing to bet you A large amount of money that the parts for my BMW E28 are cheaper to buy then Suzuki parts.

I have my comfy daily driver as well, its peppy but no speed racer. 2010 Fusion, has the 2.5L 4 cyl, 6 speed manual, and the sync system. It has fake hubcaps (yet realistic). Been looking on craigs for some sport take off's. But it has a spoiler, and needs the windows tinted.

I'm not condoning him for getting something comfortable and good on gas. It's just that looking at it hurts my eyes, and I have no idea where my nearest suzuki dealer would be.

^^ Same here, I'm not condoning him either, but there are WAY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY better choices for a econo-car for the same price, suzuki makes s*** vehicles, period.
