![]() ![]() It appears that drivers and passengers of size would fit comfortably in this two-seater sub-compact. It is a simple but attractive environment. While a joint Suzuki-GM project, the instrument panel looks right out of the late ’80s/early ’90s Japanese automotive playbook. The interior is in excellent condition, the gray cloth upholstery shows as one would expect on a car of this condition and mileage. An automatic transaxle transmits the “go” to the front wheels. The seller claims, “ Mechanically, this car is very sound and super dependable.” He further adds that the A/C has been converted to 134 refrigerant (blows cold), with a compressor rebuild, a new muffler and a new battery added.
