Ciro De Siena is back to review the Suzuki Eeco 1.2 panel van, which he compares with the model’s predecessor – an ’89 Suzuki Carry, affectionately known as the “Half Loaf”.
Suzuki has built no fewer than 12 generations of the Carry panel van; It’s been so successful, especially in 3rd-world markets, that countries such as India built the 7th-gen model for 25 years straight.
It’s a timeless design and in this video, Ciro De Siena was delighted to finally drive a “Half Loaf”, alongside the brand new Carry, or as it is being sold in South Africa, the Eeco Van.
Driving the two cars back-to-back was particularly illuminating and in some ways, the original from 1989 had the newcomer bested.
And so, Ciro set out to answer the question, should you buy a Suzuki Eeco Van? And can the new generation ever be as lovable as its predecessor?
