I never knew anyone who had a Suzuki car before, so I didn't know what to expect. This was my first car. I didn't take great care of it the first few years since I didn't know what I was doing, but it always got me everywhere I needed to go.
Story
I work in a bakery at night with a bunch of women and would always drive them to their cars at the end of our shift, so my rear rugs are permanently coated in flour.
Pros
Daytime running lights, great fuel economy, highly reliable even with young driver abuse. I've had the car over five years now and never had to take to a mechanic for anything other than regular maintenance. It's surprisingly roomy for such a little car, and the windshield is huge, so I can see all around me easily.
Cons
It has an abnormally large windshield, which I love when I'm driving because I can see everything, but it's impossible to find a sunshade to fit in this weird-shaped window. The tire pressure sensor is super sensitive and constantly tells me that my tire pressure is low, even minutes after having the air adjusted at the mechanic. The time/radio display burned out really fast, so it's hard to read during the day, but I either listen to music input from my phone or my favorite radio stations, so that's not a problem for me.

Excellent small car. Very little maintenance needs to be done to maintain performance. Having had the car for five years now, I have not had any major problems. The only things I've had to do are replace the tires and get regular oil changes.
Story
I love that I can fit into any parking spot with this vehicle. There are a lot of folks with huge cars who can't park very well, but I can nearly always squeeze in which makes me happy.
Pros
I love that although the vehicle is small, you feel like you're sitting much higher up. My family members have Subaru's, which I like, but I find the seating to be much too low. Since you're sitting higher up, you have a better vantage point, in my opinion. I've not had to replace anything in my car. The A/C and heat work beautifully.
Cons
There are some odd blind spots in the front of the car. There are tiny windows on the sides the passenger doors before the regular window begins, and the dividers between these windows block some of the view off to the side. The resale value of this vehicle is also dismal.
