The Suzuki SC100 GX was launched in 1979 as a compact 5-seater car for the European market. The model was meant for the urban working class, sporting an economical array of materials in its construction and furnishings. The SC100 GX is as basic as basic can be. It is your average city car for going to work, the grocery, or visiting a friend on the other side of town. With its features and capabilities, the SC100 is clearly not made for long distance cross-country traveling, much less performance driving. The car is a box-type sedan. Having sharp edges and a boxy appearance, it was clearly not designed for the sports aficionado in mind. Surprisingly, not characteristic of a Japanese model, the engine is located in the rear. The front part is allocated for the trunk, which is satisfyingly adequate. This particular model comes with a 4-cylinder, a 1-liter petrol-fed single overhead camshaft engine, which is enough to propel the car to up to 70 kilometers per hour on the freeway or for regular use in the city. However, stay away from the Autobahn since the car was clearly not made to compete with other vehicles on the fast lane. Being your average city car, the used Suzuki SC100 GX can accelerate from 0 to 60 kilometers per hour in 16.5 seconds. In the automobile standards during that time, that was an acceptable statistic. But in today’s standards, you would be driving a piece of junk. However, despite acceleration rate, the car can reach a top speed of 137 kilometers per hour, not bad for a 1-liter engine. Transmission comes in a 4-speed manual. Automatic transmissions were yet exclusive to higher model cars during that time. Also, featuring a rear wheel drive system, the car did not feature state-of-the-art stability during tight curves and slalom driving. With a relatively high elevation, the car had a high center of gravity, which severely limited the car’s performance during high speed driving. Adding weight to the rear portion by reason of a rear mounted engine, stability was really a question, and if it not were for the seatbelts that came as standard features, the car would get a tearfully failing mark in terms of safety. The car does not come with power steering. However, the manually operated windows give the car that classic feel. A truly 70’s car, upholstery is reminiscent of the brown and cream-colored leather trousers of a disco-fed generation.
