Suzuki Wagon R 1.3 info please. - Pete

My sister is picking up a new Wagon R next week. Are there any owners or persons with experience (perhaps in the motor trade) of the vehicle who can forewarn me of any problems that might be encountered with a new example ?

Any warnings, hints or tips would be much appreciated and can anyone please advise the cam belt change interval ?

Thank you.

Pete,
if the Wagon 'R' is built to a similar standard as my wife's Agila, there shouldn't
be anything to worry about. My wife is extremely pleased with hers and find's
it to be a very practical proposition. I am the most finicky nit picker around but
I have to take my hat off to the Agila. I thought that my London to Cornwall
run would show it up for what it's worth, but I was pleasantly surprized with it's
performance and ride quality for such a small wheelbase. I wouldn't mind
telling you that if I had the bottle, I would have got one for myself.

I may be in a minority here, but I think it's better looking than the Yaris, and it has a lot more usable space.
