03
1st new tranny (5 speed) at 500 miles
Clutch slipping issues all along
Fit and finish is = to that of an 80s GM car.
Both mirrors have now been replaced due to fading
Window seals are well not sealing- 2 replaced
Steering wheel off center
Things to do:
Keep at 'em until they replace the freaking clutch
Will need another tranny but at this point it'll be a reman tranny so might as well wait until the 5 years are up (has all of 20k on the odo now).


06 (this is from driving it once and sitting in it another time)
Window seals suck
Orange peel is just as bad as the 03 but not as noticable due to the color
Body panels fit again like an 80s GM car
Interior plastic is cheap (will not wear nicely) sure it looks okay now but when you can scratch some of it with your fingernail that isn't good.
Steering wheel way off center

At least it hasn't been to the dealer yet for unscheduled work unlike the Car and Driver GT that spent more time there than the Suzuki Esteem and Focus combined.
