From my experience - Suzuki outboards SUCK in salt water. Worse than
anything else I've ever owned. On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 13:14:29 GMT, Sailing Fan wrote: CU made a hasty decision to give Suzuki an unacceptable rating a long, long time ago. To save face, they have stuck to their guns, which is to be expected. Today there are some very well rated and very environmentally friendly cars made by Suzuki. You don't see Exxon-Mobil suing because the vehicles don't use enough fuel? For the most any application, Suzuki outboards are worth considering as a good powerplant for your boat. Because CU is posturing for litigation against Suzuki, this is no reason to take sides, as you and CU suggest.

It seems that back in 1988 CR gave the Suzuki Samurai an unacceptable rating after finding it had a tendancy to tip over while turning, a quality I would find alarming in a motor vehicle. Read the March 2004 issue of Consumer Reports to get their side. Based upon this information, I would hesitate to recommend the purchase of any Suzuki product for fear of facing these tactics should one have any product liability dealings with the firm.

And the conclusion is...
Suzuki outboards have nothing to do with Suzuki Samurai's. The motors are certainly worth considering. |
