Hi do you know if this was this the basic model?
The model we got for the uncle was the SZ2, they got no more basis than that. Compared to most other cars of 2018 it had little in the way of kit but compared to the 2003 Fiesta Style he was driving at the time it was well equipped.
I doubt if the trim level or, more latterly the two variants in 1L engine offer make any difference to the clutch Suzuki used in the car. I had a 2016 model (not sure which trim level it was, but it was with the lesser powered engine) as a courtesy car for a couple days (17 mile mixed driving commute) whilst my 2005 Mazda3 was in for a clutch change at the main dealer (which was a combined Mazda and Suzuki dealership at that time), and the clutch seemed fine.
Was not aware that there were 2 variants of the engine available, the price list at the time only showed the 3 trim specs (SZ2, SZ3 and SZ4) with the only options being auto (not on all trims) and colour.
So I have done a bit of digging.
Seems there was the "standard" engine used on early cars and the "dualjet" used on later ones but to further confuse matters the SZ2 may have used the "standard" engine for entire model run.
One thing seems certain, both engines had 68 bhp. The only difference seems to be the dualjet had twin plus and supposedly lower emissions. Never looked to see if the uncles had 3 or 6 plugs.
During the 6 months me and the wife used it to take him shopping the dash said about 57 mpg despite Yorkshire being plagued with hills, plenty of revs needed.
One pointless bit of info I did read, in some markets an 800cc 2 cylinder diesel was sold. Bet that was a cracker!!!!
