Not in my experience. But I'm not really familiar with current Suzuki products. The Sprint was made back before anyone in the US had ever actually heard of a Suzuki car. GM cloaked it under their then-respected brand name. But it was a far higher quality car than the crap GM made at the time. Although it was $5000 new, I've always found it to be top quality. The only notable trade-offs being a couple of issues when it comes to some questionable decisions they made regarding weight savings. (e.g. the light-weight, non-vented, front brake rotor design. I have to be judicious in my brake use and selection of transmission gear when descending mountains... which is something I do a lot of.) Building a car that gets 60+ mpg at 55 mph is an engineering challenge even in 2010... let alone back in 1988.

Between mid-August and mid-February, I drove it 29,000 miles, mostly "in the middle of nowhere".

When I first got it in 1992 (with 77,432 miles on the clock) the Sprint was my "Auntie Mame": It opened doors for me; Doors I never dreamed existed.

And it's still opening doors for me, all these years later. ;-)
