I wonder how many of these are not demos or hire cars. I wouldn't say that many people actually bought them?

I was behind one 2 weeks ago. I didn't know what it was at first but it turned out to be one of these. Id say it was only a few days old and the one driving it was absolutely crawling at about 40km under the speed limit. So even if the brakes failed that one would of been ok and just rolled to a stop

I'd imagine that's a Suzuki Ireland promo shot rather than one from the actual test.

Yer man Shane O'Donoghue (think that's his name - Irish journo anyway) is writing bits for/selling bits to them now.

Suzuki braking news

The Suzuki Celery, yesterday

Suzuki has stopped sales of its new Celerio model after two cars suffered complete brake failure while being helmsmanised by Autocar magazine.

The Japanese company is advising anyone behind the wheel of a Celeriac to ‘drive really slowly’ and only to undertake journeys where the destination is ‘very soft and squishy’.

However, Suzuki says it expects no injuries to result from braking problems thanks to a ‘built-in safety feature’ of its deeply dismal and unattractive appearance which has had a 100 percent success rate in repelling customers.
