Suzuki tops customer survey

Suzuki has once again taken the top podium position in Canstar Blue’s customer ratings for new cars in 2018.

It is the second successive number one placing for Suzuki and the fourth first place ranking in the past five years.

The 2018 survey saw Suzuki score number one in the five out of six categories - overall satisfaction, driving experience, reliability, value for money, after sales service and rated a respectable four stars in point of sale service.

“We are clearly pleased for Suzuki to be the only manufacturer to rate so consistently across all six categories,” said Fiona Bridgford, marketing manager for Suzuki New Zealand.

Canstar Blue surveyed 1,022 people across the twelve car brands.

As well as finding out what car brand tops customer satisfaction, Canstar Blue's data pointed out there are now more than 3,351,000 passenger vehicles on New Zealand roads, including 43,386 cars that are less than six months old.

New Zealand has one of the highest cars per capita in the world. It also has 100,000 kilometres of open roads so driving experience is a significant factor.
