Don't make fun of this small segment car from Suzuki. I am proud owner of this little car for last 3 years . I have driven 950 km in a single day on the national Highway also 600 km in a single day & by god's grace it's still running good . Ofcourse high status people will definitely make fun of this middle class segment car.
The high-status people who would make fun of your car are the kind of "high-status" people who are not very good people. So why worry about what they think? If you are making wise financial decisions and buying a car that you can afford, you are making your family's financial life better. That's more dignified than going into debt trying to impress other people.
I bought my ags s presso almost a month ang ganda po ng performance. I love driving my spresso compared to my 2018 ford 4x4 wildtrak pickup😂. Sa mga nag comments na na pangit mag drive test mo na kayo, kase suspension is good po, aircon is very cold, fuel efficiency is awesome, and the best po para kang nag drive ng SUV kase mataas ang upuan. Hindi mo feel na maliit ang sasakyan po pag nasa loob ka na.❤ ❤❤❤
No matter how unenthusiastic jack can get when filming, these vids help a lot. Both on the buyers' side, and for your business as well. Keep doing what you're doing guys. U guys are awesome.😊
First time riding an s-presso and I was simply amazed by it. I am praying and manifesting that this will be my first car. God willing! See you soon, s-presso :)
For AGS, when you reach 2k RPM, it will automatically change gear so you have to release your foot from the accelerator otherwise, youll feel that 'hiccup' soemthing.
I have this car and I'm glad that I purchased it compare to its competitors I don't get the hiccups during slow movement but I do experience it when overtaking fuel efficiency is great I'm getting 13.5 km/L on city driving I do strongly agree that for less than 700k this one is a bang for a buck

Such a small car for a small price, i dont think you will expect more from this S-presso except gets you from point A to B with a little gas consumption.
We called several Suzuki dealerships to ask for service estimate, they said they don’t provide estimates for insurance claims. How do we claim for insurance then?
would be nice if Suzuki releases technical video how they designed the AGS, imagine there is no transmission like this until now. Back then, when I was young, I thought automatics were designed like AGS. This is like manual trans that has motors that releases/engages the clutch then changes gear, release clutch during braking. This is more interesting than I anticipated.
You get what you pay for in terms of driving skill and effort. Manual transmissions give you a lot more precise control over acceleration and slowing down, if you learn how to use them.
Had the pleasure (not!) to share the road with an S-Presso going up to Baguio last Christmas. The little car can barely push 40kph uphill which backed up the traffic quite a lot.
You guys are missing out a beauty Suzuki has put out, Suzuki Alto Turbo RS, this is a 660cc Turbo AGS car with peddle shifters and fully loaded. 0-100 in 9 seconds. This will never come to Philippines since it is a Japanese domestic car, means only right hand drive. Check it out. City driving 18km per L. Highway driving 24Km per L.
Hi sir thank you for the review, this is very helpful. I just want to ask if it's better to enroll for a manual transmission-driving lesson if I am planning to purchase suzuki spresso?
Writing from America. In time you will learn, that all those lazy-person accessories make a car with more things to break over time, with expensive repairs. If you add power windows to a cheap car, you'll get cheap power windows, more likely to break.
@@grizzlygrizzle are youu really from america? I don't think so. Those power windows are what cars are makes it convenient and modern. More than 10 yrs of my 2000s honda civic still have operating power windows.
Everything I've heard about this AGS system sounds like it would be tedious and annoying to live with in the long term especially if you rely mostly on drive mode.
I've test driven one. Its quite convenient compared to a traditional manual. It really isnt as complicated as you think/expect. Not the best transmission system but its a good compromise.
@@kaloifortich4491 Same. Have test driven one last may, surprisingly not at all complicated indeed. Practically speaking though, long term of this is something to watch for.
Does the AGS have learning function that adjusts shift-timing over time to compensate for wear and tear of the transmission? Or is it standard for all automatic cars already?
AGS is a great way to go by especially to those who know how to drive manually but is already sick of using a clutch pedal like me. 😁 AGS is still more responsive and is very good when it comes to someone in a rush and has to have a responsive transmission anytime like a full blown manual vehicle. This is the next car that I am eyeing to get this 2024. ❤
Mas okay po kaya ito yung luwag, ground clearance, ceiling height, at power for its size kumpara sa wigi, mirage, brio, at celerio? Lalo n ngyon nk automatic na sya.

4:07 when the door close sound is better than your top of the line Veloz ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just curious, how does it compare sa door ng Veloz?
Superb city commuter, will save you a lot on fuel and parking costs.
Finally, a proper infotainment system! Now if Suzuki can put that in to the Celerio, it can compete with the new Wigo.🤙
Am thinking of getting the S Presso. If ever, this would be my first car and I would be a first-time driver at 55. Does this make sense?

Thanks for the review. Also I saw that coffee by BTS was being played, taste!
AGS so parang semi-automatic na motorcycle like XRM??
walang clutch din kasi yun
This is tooo cute. This is the “kapatid” na hinihingi ng MG ZS ko. ❤ hello sa mga lady driver like me 💅🏻
AGS is simply a standard manual gearbox with a computer and actuators to shift gears
14kms/ltr for a small car that's supposed to be fuel efficient. It consumes as much as my 1.5L.
Muscle power windows in the back 😂
and there’s nothing wrong w/ that. Unless you’re weak and lazy asf or disabled

Learning is posible using a scanner, AGS is similar to other models.
Couple days ago I personally endorsed with upraisal and can't wait to see Spresso happy ending in Philippines.. 😀
This car should be perfect for 'hatid-sundo' for school.
Very nimble and enjoyable to drive! I wish it has turbo or electric version. ;)

Can this be used with drivers license under automatic transmission?
Non professional license candrive both manual and automatic
tanong ko lang po about sa AGS. same po ba ng matic kapag naka drive mode? ung pag binitawan mo ung brake kusa sya aandar?
If I remember my test drive back in May right, yes. Leave it in drive, it will go forward no problem.
S presso AGS or Avanza? TIA🤔
Woww this is what I have been waiting for. ❤
they should have just kept the CVT from the 2nd gen Celerio
A very basic car that gets the job done. 4 wheels , protect from the elements , drive you from point a to point b and has AC and plus its suzuki.
Wish they still had Suzuki in U.S...I've been looking for a small car and nothing so far. If I were back in Jamaica would be way easier to get.
Can you guys feature all the Onitsuka Tigers Caco (?) has? :)

Celerio or spresso

Rush GRS?
Very practical ...nice...i love it...😊😊😊
Looks nice.
Unit price pls
liked, because I deemed it very fit.
Cvt engine is much heavier than AGS(AMT) which is much more fuel effecient and saves more fuel

Little by little on this entry model those are standard now to any car manufacturers. Specialty on safety features.
