I have planned to never sell my esteem and hopefully next year I'll modify it, maybe replace the engine, get a better suspension and everything. Totally adore this car.

      @bobbydean6483 7 років тому

      Baleno, Cultus Crescent, Esteem all the same car most had the G series engine. In the US we had the 1.6 as well as the Mazda BP 1.8 which was later replaced with the Suzuki built 1.8. People bash these cars in the US but every time you see one in a junkyard it has over 200,000 miles...not too bad.

    • @TheOystei

      We actually jumped one and drove the crap put of it to the point the ball joint failed completly. reiliable cars normally, but not interesting in any way.

    The Suzuki Esteem is still sold in Europe under the name Suzuki Baleno. You can find the complete details at www.suzuki.de (Germany) or www.suzuki.hu (Hungary where I believe the car is manufactured.) Balenos are regularly driven over 300k miles before ending up in das schrottsplatz. (junkyard.) You have to admit, the engine still sounds good for a multi-decade old, rust bucket...

    I almost bought one of these new in 1996 ... 5-speed manual, roll-up windows, no stereo so you can put in your own quality one, $11K. Ended up buying a 1994 Miata for the same money. But it always had a place in my heart. Before Suzuki rebadged Daewoo cars.

  • @syxepop
    @syxepop 4 роки тому

    On the case of how rare these larger Suzukis are... Most of the US-spec ones came here to Puerto Rico and they were called Baleno, where there are still some "chugging along" (not a Toyota, but not an early Hyundai either).
    Originally they came with a 98hp 1.6L I4, but later models came with a PRETTY PEPPY (this car's weight with this engine in US-spec was ~ 2100 lbs., roughly the same as an NA Miata) 122hp 1.8L (also same output as that NA Miata and the Kia Sephia, which had the FWD version of the Miata's engine).
    Also tuners liked the lightweight platform of this Suzuki as a base for "racing projects" with most kinds of larger engines.

      Austin Whiteside -- Well said. I am similar to you in the types of vehicles I like best -- Trucks and V8 domestic cars. However, oddly enough, I bought a Suzuki Swift about a year ago to have a lightweight 4 cyl parts runner. It's actually a neat little car. Looks like the one Sarah had a clip of in the video, except not as cool (yet) and way more beat up (still).

    G'day, Sarah! Yeah! Most Iconic cars like Fred Sanford’s beat up 1951 Ford truck in Sanford & Son, Colt Seavers’ early 1980s model GMC pickup truck in the Fall Guy, or Sonny Crockett’s 1986 white Ferrari Testarossa in Miami Vice, K.I.T.T. in Knight Rider, the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard, or Herbie in The Love Bug.
    New regular car reviews! I enjoyed it! I'm so glad you did... This custom 1998 Suzuki Esteem (A.K.A. Saul Goodman's car from Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul) it is rather unique, and different! But still, it's really cool! Thank you very much! Cheers! :-)

    I had one of those but the 2000 facelift. In Venezuela, the Swift had 4 doors and was Chevrolet. It was discontinued after 1998 and then came the 1998 Chevrolet Esteem like the one on this video and in 2000 came the facelifted one that I had. I put 260.000 km on it (little less than 200k miles) without doing anything on it. Late oil changes, aggressive driving... I was 18 years old. I blew the cluth two times.
