Suzuki liana

frulewis

Thinking of buying a 1.3 petrol Suzuki Liana it has 75000 kms on the clock, one owner it's an 06 for 3900 euro. Anyone any experience with Suzuki or this car in paticular that could shed a bit of light onto it for me?

Is it from a garage or a private sale?

Dealer asking less for this one:

The Liana does nothing great, they are lagging behind other Japanese stuff and feel old but if you just need reliable a to b transport then you could do alot worse but I would not be paying €4k for a 9 year old one.

Nissan Tiida is the same thing but feels a bit more modern than the Liana:

Thanks a million for your reply. It is through a dealer I was thinking it's a bit pricey myself I'm just so busy at the moment I don't have time to travel further afield than wicklow to look at cars but I do need something better than my own car it's about to pack in the day job!!

Have a look at the Suzuki SX4 also, it replaced the Liana and feels more modern. The Fiat Sedici is also worth a look, don't let the fact it's got a Fiat badge put you off as it's just a re-badged SX4.

The Liana is a very basic car. They're not particularly nice to drive and/or look at. They are sore on fuel and have a very limited market which you need to take into account when it comes time to sell.

You very obviously just want a car and are not too bothered by the name/badge. I would suggest you go for a Civic or Nissan Almera or Mazda 3 but give the liana a miss.

For a reasonably priced car, they have been known to have been driven by more than a few stars.

It's tough to recommend a Tiida as an alternative to anything but in this case it just may be warranted

A Leap card would be a better alternative to a Datsun Tida
