The Suzuki Supermini - Does it Make a Splash

Splash's first impressions are quite favorable, which combines the space of a mini MPV with a sporty / bulk seems. As far as attractive hatchbacks go, the Splash is there with the Corsa, Fiat 500 and Toyota Aygo. The Splash is also generously equipped with sufficient safety and protection gear for shame of their competitors in the same. Comes with a total of 6 airbags, ABS, stability control, engine immobilizer and locks series.

Engine options are limited compared with other superminis, there is only a 1.0 petrol, 1.2 petrol and 1.3 diesel available. All three are quite vocal during the test, which can be a bit annoying during longer trips. The 1.2 petrol is probably the best choice, because of their eagerness and economic operation. There are only 86 hp, with a 1-2, but since there is not much to pull Splash along this well enough.

An important consideration for the supermini market is price and this is one of the most negative assessment of the Suzuki Splash. The basic price of £ 8347 for the 1.2 petrol is just too expensive compared with what other manufacturers are offering. For more than a Ford Ka least offers a similar specification. Suzuki is, of course, to splash in the top of the supermini market, but to do this more successfully that it should resume relatively important drawbacks such as severe lack of boot space. However, this problem can be remedied at the cost of the passengers like the rear seat is split times, which opens all of the back in a very important storage space.

There are some important points to be mentioned, though, the passenger space. It is rare to be able to find a comfortable seat 4 adults in a grown up supermini without someone ended horribly and hopelessly contorted. As for comfort Splash is there with Yaris and the Micra.

The construction of the quality one would expect from Suzuki is also evident in the Splash. All plastics are rigid and is felt from quality materials. The operation is to be expected of a car in this range, responsive but not twitchy over.

The Suzuki Splash is a supermini to compete in a market crowded gate. Like its main rival has its plus and minus points. If you are looking for a broad and rather zippy gate, the Suzuki Splash should at least be among your considerations. It looks stylish, is an engine is quite anxious and well equipped.
