Default My wife's new Suzuki and my Del Sol (i.e. the two lamest cars on Honda-Tech, haha)





I know its a Suzuki but its actually pretty cool. The i-AWD system actually functions pretty well and putting out 150hp from a 2.0L engine isn't too shabby i.m.o. I wish we could have nabbed one with the factory fogs but oh well. Maybe down the road. For now its our daily driver and will probably remain as such for quite some time. Opinions are welcome. Hate away...

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. The car is actually VERY nice for the price. I might take some interior shots today but I can testify that the interior feels far better then most in its class. I don't know what exactly its made to compete with, haha. It feels to me like a sporty small SUV. The AWD has a switch on it. I keep it in 2wd for now since the weather is fair. But it also has AUTO which transfers power to the necessary wheels when they lose grip or FULL TIME which keeps all 4 wheels spinning but only up to 40 MPH then it kicks back to auto. And no Jimmy, I didn't lower it more, haha. Probably just all the grass sticking up out of the gravel makes the Sol look low, heh.

Alright here's some new snaps:


A side shot.


Driver's view. All dash lights illuminate bright red.


Back seat shot. I really liked the cloth style they used. Reminds me of the Honda Ridgeline to some degree.

Thats it. I doubt she'll ever let me do anything to it, haha. I think it's look sweet dropped on some gold volks but hey, a guy can dream, right?

Haha, actually its not tinted. I didn't notice how much it looks like it is in that picture though, heh. They actually tried to haggle us to take the silver one and they said they'd tint it for free. But the silver on these is bleh.

Haha I gotcha. No worries, who ISN'T lazy these days? Yeah, it probably would look pretty good with tint. It can be my VIP cruiser, Suzuki-style!

Haha, thanks man. I'm honestly surprised how many people are favorable about the Suzuki. I thought for sure this would be a hate fest, haha. The Sol really needs a front lip but that will most likely have to wait until next season since the weather is turning foul here in good ol' Indiana. You know how I feel about this place:

Thanks for the compliments everybody. The car was around 16k I believe. We took a little bit of a hit because her old Suzuki we traded in still had money owed on it. But being a Suzuki with low mileage they gave us a great trade in value.
