Hello,

I currently drive a Suzuki Swift, but have decided I want something with a bit more power and a touch more 'flair' so to speak. I've found this listing, and was wondering if you had any suggestions or concerns about this particular vehicle?

Thanks
Ben

Hi there,
These are great cars in their day, but a European car 21 years old doesn't come without risk of requiring repairs as you start using it- especially with electrics and cooling systems. This is where Japanese manufactured vehicles tend to be a more attractive option with regards to reliability as they age.
I recommend having the vehicle inspected before purchase to make sure the one you buy is a good one to start with.
