Mark's Metro

Posted Thursday, November 24/05 in Suzukiclone info

Mark's Metro

What is it with the Internet, Canadians, and their Suzukiclones? Automotive exhibitionists, eh?

Check out Mark's Metro to follow his ongoing adventures. He covers it all: from rationale for wanting one, to search, to purchase, to hurculean repair efforts, to MPG.

Ever searching for better mileage, he experimented with acetone for a few tanks and recorded the results.

Unfortunately, mother nature has a way of foiling the best laid plans. With the mercury plummeting, cold weather probably interfered, and Mark basically had to declare a mis-trial.

It's great to see the enthusiasm these little cars can generate in their owners. At Mark's Metro, the simple pleasure of owning and driving an efficient, no-nonsense car comes across loud and clear.
