Owner’s Review:
The Suzuki Cultus is a very famous car in the 1000cc category. Users of this vehicle are satisfied with its performance and average fuel. This vehicle’s maintenance cost is low compared to its competitors. This car was value for money at its launch but is now costly. Its look and performance inspire users of this car. It is an economical hatchback car but overpriced due to our currency devaluation. The engine of this car is powerful. In summer, it gives better mileage with AC, and there is no lag in driving comfort. Cultus owners are delighted with its performance, comfort, and maintenance.
