I know this car isn't getting to the U.S. but anyhoo.
Some time in the (near?) future we will be turning from a 2 car household to a 1 car household.
Criteria for the replacement car:
Small-ish
Fun to drive
Relatively inexpensive to run
Auto (*sigh* can't be helped)
This Suzuki seems to fit the criteria and the reviews have mostly positive. It seems to be incredibly well equipped at the Aus price of $30k drive away. And 970kgs!
I'm thinking I will go for a test drive next week, I shall report back.
