Yes, it is certainly excellent for regular use in the city with an occasional excursion out of town. In fact this could be a brief for what it was designed for. It is very roomy inside for a kei car*. I have sat in one and it is very comfortable for me and I am 1.93m tall and weigh 113kg. It has the full suite of passive safety gear, including autonomous emergency braking. It is reasonably fuel efficient for a proper 4wd. And it is small on the outside. All these features make it excellent as a regular city car. The back seats fold completely flat, and it holds nearly 1m3 when they are folded, making it able to accommodate a large amount of luggage for two people going on an out of town trip. Lastly, I have found Suzukis to be extremely reliable - up there with Toyota. All of these attributes make it just about the perfect car for city use and occasional excursions - even ones off road. I am on the waiting list to buy one myself. Thanks for the A2A. * The export version is not technically a kei car, as the fender flares, larger motor, and external spare tyre all ruin it for kei certification. But Suzuki does sell a home market Japanese version with a 660cc motor, no fender flares and spare Tyre mounted internally which meets kei specification.
From personal experience, the main problem is degradation by sunlight. I had a campervan which had a spare tyre mounted on a bullbar at the front. I put that spare tyre on the front wheel as it had good tread. A few hundred kms up the road on the highway at 100 km/hr (62 mph) it blew out. Luckily, there was no.problem controlling the campervan as I am a very experienced driver and know exactly what to do in that situation. I replaced it and carried on. A few months later I had the same happen again. I then realised that sunlight was degrading the tyres mounted on the bullbar out in the sun all the time. I then bought a tyre cover and the problem disappeared. Also happened with my current car as it sat in the same position all the time when not driving and both tyres the sunny side blew out. Being in an equatorial country, Mindanao, Philippines, at that time didn't help. As well as sunlight degradation, time also degrades. The plasticisers in the polymers leach out of the tyre material over time, making them brittle. This is reduced markedly by the car being parked in a garage which reduces light. Normally, the degradation doesn't happen quickly. Quite a few years will pass without problems if they're out of direct sunlight.
The position of VIN is mentioned in the booklet. In our Honda it is near the front door. It's good that you're aware of checking those numbers. Do spread awareness. One should check everything from engine and chassis number, odometer reading, tyre wear, toolbox and first air kit, spare tyre sir pressure and all fluid levels. If your car has parking sensors, steering mounted controls check it. It will take time but its better to be sure before delivery, make sure you've got puc and all It's not possible to check each and every thing but try to cover most of the points
Yes it is OK. Sub frequencies are omnidirectional. If it is in the vehicle you will not be able to tell where it is located by the sound.
Europe is the only region which has EcoSport without mounted spare wheel. The primary reason for design deviation was tight parking spaces in Europe. So, an EcoSport without mounted spare tyre is not available officially in India. That said, I have seen a couple of EcoSport which had the spare wheel removed and the mounts removed from tailgate. But there were marks from where the mount was removed. A good local garage will be able to do a much better job, I guess. But you need to keep in mind that you still would need to carry the full size spare tyre in the trunk. That's precious space when going to airport or a road trip.
First of all, it’s not ,Always,. Some manufacturers may choose to give the fifth tyre as a small one. Such spare tyres are called as ,Donut tyres. The basic reason for this is to save space. One of the tyre company has named such tyres of theirs as ,Space Master. Also, these tyres are generally mounted on a differently coloured rim and have a lower speed limit and are instructed to be run only upto some 50–100 Kms at a stretch. Hope it helps.
A little bit of preparation goes a long way in the Outback- ensure you have a good map and plan ahead. It's wise to calculate travel times and distances between stops; even prepare alternative routes, especially when travelling during the Australian Summer (November to April) when rain and storms can impede travel plans. Here is an article about some unusual tricks that might help when you travel: ,20 Unknown Tips That Everyone Should Use For Travelling These tips below are more basic, but it doesn’t hurt to recap them: BE PREPARED On major highways fuel stops are rarely more than 200km apart so it should not be necessary to carry spare fuel. However, when you see "No Fuel" signs , it means exactly that. Ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound and carry a first aid kit, ample water and spares such as tyres, radiator hoses and fanbelts, together with a good tool kit. Ensure your spare tyre is at the correct pressure. PERSONAL MEDICATIONS Before setting out ensure that you have adequate supplies of all personal medications. While medical facilities are avaliable in most towns, it is not always possible to obtain prescriptions for some medications, or there may be a delay in the arrival of the prescriptions as they have to come from a neighbouring community. WEATHER CONDITIONS Outback summers are hot but much less humid than on the coast and more bearable. Most facilities and transport are air-conditioned. Storms and heavy rains can occur during summer with minor flooding, sometimes causing towns to become cut off for a few days, but this is all part of your adventure in the Outback. The most temperate weather occurs between the beginning of April and the end of October. A broad-brimmed hat and sunscreen are recommended for all seasons. MOBILE PHONE COVERAGE Longreach, Mount Isa, Charleville and Birdsville have coverage from Telstra and Optus Networks. Outside of these towns only Telstra 3G network is avaliable, usually within a 20km radius of towns. There is limited mobile phone coverage in the far South West corner of the region, west of Quilpie to Bedourie. Public phones are recommended for extended travel in this area. HEAVY VEHICLES / ROAD TRAINS Care should be taken when passing and overtaking road trains and heavy vehicles, including caravans. Ensure you have a clear line of sight, allow plenty of room and be prepared for vehicles to move a little from side to side as you overtake. If a road train is approaching to overtake you, move as far to the left as possible and stop if necessary to allow it to overtake safely. SINGLE LANE DRIVING When meeting Road Trains and heavy vehicles on single lane roads, slow right down and move off the road to the left. If it is safe to do so move off the road entirely and stop to avoid any obstacles on the verge. In wet conditions verges tend to be soft and/or slippery, so you should always keep your right wheels on the bitumen and keep moving slowly to avoid getting bogged. ANIMALS If you see stock or wild animals near the road, slow down; don't swerve or your vehicle may roll. Be patient with stock and wary of kangaroos and emus. It pays to be vigilant when driving in the Outback, especially either side of sunrise or sunset when kangaroos tend to be at their most active and the poor light conditions makes seeing them more difficult. STATION PROPERTIES Many roads are gated across station property. The rules of the Outback is to leave gates in the same way that you find them, ie. if the gate is closed when you get to it, close it again after you go through or, if the gate is open when you arrive, leave it open. REMOTE AREAS Always check the road and weather conditions before travelling into remote areas. Advise the police or some other responsible person of your intended itinerary and report back on your arrival. Two-Way radios or satellite phones are recommended as normal mobile phones do not work in remote areas. Spare fuel should be carried outside the passenger compartment and always guage your requirements/supplies, overloaded vehicles invariably get into trouble. If you break down, stay with the vehicle until help arrives. MINIMAL IMPACT Depending on how you drive, you can be a welcome visitor or someone who causes careless damage to roads and wildlife. Follow these tips for low impact driving:- Stay on existing roads and tracks- Give way to animals. Parks and forests are for their protection.- If you get stuck, try not to use trees for winching. If you have no choice use tree protectors. Wash your vehicle thoroughly before and after trips to prevent the spead of weeds. FIRES Most roads run through private property or national parks and open fires should never be lit. Use only designated fireplaces. LITTER Help us keep the Outback clean for future visitors by properly disposing of your rubbish. INFORMATION CENTRES Always use accredited Visitor Information Centres to obtain local and regional information.
The arrangement of the spare tyre on the back of an SUV is a space-saving as well as aesthetically pleasing feature. Also it is one of the most recent of all the external spare tyre arrangements that are there. In most sedans and some SUVs like the Range Rover, the spare in housed inside as shown in the picture below. A Range Rover Evoque with the spare hatch down. A Range Rover's spare tyre housing with the hatch lifted up. Instead of occupying space inside the car, the external mounting creates more space inside. Other than that, this external arrangement is an announcement that the vehicle is an SUV/off-roader, though that may not be true. These days, you'll find some hatchbacks and even some crossovers sporting this arrangement. Example: Fiat Avventura. Other external mount arrangements are as shown below. They are out of fashion now but were popular in their days. Bonnet mounted spare. Underbody mounted spare. Side rear mounted spare. If you really love spares.
A mid-60’s VW Beetle 1200. I believe it output around 25 BHP. It was a left hand drive import to the UK, with a 6 volt electrical system. The windscreen washers where powered by the air in the spare tyre up front 😳, no electrical pump involved. The bottle sat behind the spare wheel, in the front of the Beetle, like in the image below. With the water output tube from the tank connected to the washers themselves, and the air input tube connected valve of the spare tyre, to keep the bottle under constant pressure. The washers operated by pushing a button mounted on the dash This car was older than me, and was gifted to me by a ex-girlfriends generous neighbour, about six months after I passed my the UK driving test. Special mention for my 1976 Vauxhall Chevette 1295cc hatchback, in White, with a red 'pleather’ interior. Which ran about 75 BHP when brand new. All images from Google searches, not my actual vehicles.
There are multiple reasons for it: Old school Retro look:- ,To attempt to carry out the Retro look. As we all know that even the latest generation have Retro look inserts and a complete boxy look. This is one of the reasons. Differential problem:- ,The G63 AMG has three differentials (front, mid and rear). There is some chance that if this spare was placed below the cargo space then it could create a space design problem with the rear differential in extreme off road situations. To offer full size spare wheel:-, G63 AMG is very much capable of off roading and if a tyre is punctured then a small space-saver spare tyre does not have the capability of a full-duty replacement tyre. If the spare tyre is placed in the trunk then the cargo capacity is affected.
