Re: Over 60 mpg
Des, if you used the car and stopped this walking everywhere you would need to fill more often. LOL

Mo, I bought one for my mother in law about 5 years ago as we had had two Suzuki Swifts in the family (the little one) years ago and found them highly reliable.
She has had no issues in the last 5 years apart from routine oil and filter changes and brake pads once. The only issue that has occurred a couple of times is the rear window wash; there is a pipe connection under the dash on drivers side which has popped off a couple of times but other than that no issues, runs like a sowing machine (chain driven cam so no belt issues). Currently I could sell that car for more than I paid for it 5 years ago.
