It is black, long, has a sunroof and Bluetooth connectivity.
I love the vehicle, except for one major problem— the Suzuki brand has stopped all manufacturing in the United States, creating a series issue for Suzuki owners, as parts are no longer readily available.However, I will conceded that the car is wonderful and works well except for the breaks which I had to replace, but I was told that was due to normal wear and tear.

I haven’t had the money to get it looked at.
At about 150,000 miles my transmission needed to be replaced. About a month after that was replaced I was driving on the freeway and my car just all of the sudden lost power. I had the gas pedal pushed all the way down but my car was just slowing down until I finally came to a complete stop. I turned the car off and let it sit for about 15 minutes then it started no problem. Now if I drive over about 60 miles at once, it will do the same thing.

Overall this is not a bad car.
This is a pretty good little car. I haven't had any issues with it other than a whole in the muffler. It has a great stereo system from the factory. I do get a lot of road noise but other than that it is a reliable little car and it is AWD. The back seat does not have a lot of legroom which is fine for my youngest child but my oldest is cramped when he sits back there. He is 5’9”.
