My mother has had umpteen Suzuki's over the past 25 years not one has had any sort of repair or suffered a failure of any kind, they are simple cars, my youngest inherited her 2007 Swift and that's a good sized runabout IMO, one that doesn't bounce around over small road imperfections like the MIL's tiny Hyundai.
However the Suzuki's came and went every 2 or 3 years, she wasn't attached to them, just A to B transportation. For her 78th I bought her a Fiat 500, looked into them carefully and bought the 1.2, she fell in love with it and is always showing it off, they are wonderful things and such fun to drive and just be in. After a minor shunt she had a small Seat something, same as the VW Up, and promptly refused to get in it as it was so drab in comparison. I wouldn't have any other small car, I'd have a different colour though.
About 2 years ago I paid less than £5k for it, it was 2014, 1 owner with 20k miles and FSH, it's still like new.
Same as this..
