Suzuki has been slowly improving the Esteem line since its introduction in 1995. Last year the company introduced a roomy, but underpowered, wagon to augment the existing sedan model. This year, with its new 122-horsepower, 1.8-liter engine, the Esteem will finally have a fighting chance against the competition from Ford (Escort) and Hyundai (Elantra). The base 1.6-liter, with its paltry 95-horsepower (which, by the way, is less horsepower than most of Suzuki's motorcycles make these days), will still be available until March of 1999. However, if you're looking to carry more than one person, drive up hills, or merge with freeway traffic in a safe matter, you'll want to opt for the larger mill.

Three trim levels are available with air conditioning standard on even the low-line GL. Opt for the Esteem GLX or GLX+ and you get power steering, a rear window defogger, remote fuel door and trunk releases, dual mirrors, and a fold down rear seat.

We'd like to say that the Esteem is now on equal footing with the rest of the sub-compact market. Unfortunately, this is a crowded segment and it takes more than a redesigned body and 122-horsepower to compete. With the Esteem's lackluster warranty and merely adequate performance (even with the larger engine), entries from Dodge, Honda, and even Kia offer superior value.

Suzuki Esteem Overview and History

Michio Suzuki, the founder of the Suzuki company, started pretty much like Toyota, in the textile industry, producing automated looms in 1909 in a small seacoast village called Hamamatsu. For years, his company was successful, but as time passed, Suzuki realized that he will have to diversify if he wanted to stay in business.

He turned to car making and in 1937 started developing a prototype. Unlike Toyota, who chose to copy an American six-cylinder engine, Suzuki created their own model, a four-cylinder version which put out 13 horsepower. But as WWII began, production of passenger cars became a luxury so Suzuki turned back to loom-making to support Japan's new cotton industry. All that stopped when the market crashed in 1951.

Versatile and ingenious, Suzuki now turned to making engines for bicycles. Unlike other engines that could be mounted to bikes, his motors had a unique feature that allowed the rider to pedal assisted by the engine or completely disconnect the pedals. This captured the attention of the government who granted funds to Suzuki for research.

During the 50s Suzuki released several models: in 1955 the Suzulight SS, a-2 door sedan, the Suzulight SD, a 2-door wagon, the SL – a 3 door sedan and the SP, a pick-up. Out of all of them, the SP proved to be the most successful, being mass-produced and improved during the 60s. Good sales for the SP which was regarded asa commercial type of vehicle, meant that in 1960 the Suzulight Van, the TL, was introduced. Other models from the 60s include the small Suzuki Fronte 360 and the Suzuki Fronte 500.

The famous off-road Jimny came in 1970, which had several variations of chassis and engine. The other cars from the 70s are the Cervo, Alto and the Fronte, also with a number of variations and improvements along the years.

As the 80s rolled in, Suzuki began expanding across the ocean, thanks to a business agreement with GM (in 1981) which gave them an important niche in the western market. Also, they began a partnership with the Indian car company Maruti in 1983 to produce cars there. A year later, in 1984, Suzuki Motor GmbH Deutchland opens up its doors in Heppenheim, Germany.

The Swift and the Vitara models were introduced in the late 80s and Suzuki reached a production of 10 million units. During the 90s, the company continued to expand with factories all over the world and several other 4x4 models were introduced. Right now, Suzuki is listed as being the 12th biggest automotive manufacturer in the world with 35 production facilities all over the Globe and being present in 192 countries.

It is a Garbage Car
The manual transmission in my Esteem broke down three time times every year, the first time at 56,000 miles, the second at 60,000, and the third at 70,000. After some research I found a lot of people looking for the same transmission in many dierent websites, now what do you think about this car?

Suzuki Esteem 1999
Car of limited range. Builders had economy in mind with this car but the price commensurates. Car performed admirably to 60k miles when transmission needed to be replaced. Repair cost 1/10th of purchase price.

not good
Bought this because i liked the shine on the car hich was a major mistake. I cannot fill the gas as it keeps kicking the gas nozzle out. I have to do it very slowly and takes about 30 minutes to fill up. Thats right no exxagaration - 30 minutes! Engine is low. Pick up is less! Battery dies on me. Interior is giving up at the seams.

Rusted and Busted
This car was bought used. All the CV joints needed replacement three years ago. The outer on the right side exploded and left my wife stranded miles from home. Shortly after this the sub frame just fell apart from rust. The new sub frame just fell apart from rust last week just like the first one did. We also have had to replace the radiator and heater core. I have also had to put six outer door handles on this junk car. Right now brand new brake rotors, and lower control/ball joints are on the way by UPS for it. Parts for this car are expensive. Don't buy one even if its the last car on earth! Next month I will be buying a nice used Honda.

"This is an awesome little car"
Great gas saver, drives great. I love, love, love the manual shift. Very few problems with the car. The husband and I bought this little gem, used, in 2013. We have had it, driving it nonstop..meaning our main vehicle..our daughter has been through 2 brand new vehicles, and is now on her 3rd, since we have had this one. This car is made very well.
