Get the most from your car’s air conditioning in summer
August 12, 2022
Cold, hard facts to keep you cool during sunny spells
With driver’s travelling in soaring temperatures during hot weather, it is worth knowing how to ensure your vehicle’s air conditioning is operating at its most efficient. Opening the windows may help a little with fuel consumption, but for maximum comfort, you want to use the air con to lower the humidity. Follow these tips to truly mastering the chill.
1. Open the windows & doors
When you start driving, first open the windows and doors for a few minutes to let the hot air escape and cooler air enter the car. One common mistake is to turn the air con on full blast once you get in the vehicle, but all this will do initially is blast hot air through the cabin.
2. Turn off stop/start
If you have a newer car with auto stop/start, consider switching it off. While this feature helps save fuel, for many vehicles it can prevent the air conditioning condenser from running when it shuts the engine off. In extreme heat, you can notice the lack of cool air very quickly, especially if you’re stuck in slow traffic that’s barely moving or at a slow stoplight.
3. Tilt the vents
Direct the vents upwards, rather than directly at you, as this stops air from getting evenly distributed around the cabin. If your vehicle has climate control, activate the Auto setting which controls the fan speed and whether the air is recirculated in the cabin or drawn from outside for an even distribution of cool air.
4. Recirculate effectively
Most cars have a recirculation switch but many motorists are unsure when to use it. The easy answer is to use it in the summer and switch it off during winter. On hot days, if you don’t recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, then your air con system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Not only will it reduce wear and tear on the system but it will also cut down pollutants entering your vehicle while in traffic.
Suzuki top Automotive brand for Customer Satisfaction
July 8, 2022
Suzuki has ranked as the top Automotive brand out of 27 car manufacturers measured in the latest bi-annual Institute of Customer Service UK Customer Satisfaction Index (UKCSI) published this July.
From 265 named organisations, Suzuki ranked in joint 5th position overall and has now ranked 1st in Automotive UKCSI five times since 2019. In the latest survey, Suzuki ranked 17 places above the next automotive brand of the companies measured.
The index is a barometer of customer satisfaction and asks over 10,000 consumers to rate their experiences of dealing with companies across 13 different sectors, including those in the motor industry.
As part of the survey, customers were asked questions relating to various aspects of their experience when dealing with brands including Trust, Experience, Customer Ethos, Emotional Connection and Ethics. With reference to the automotive sector of UKCSI, Suzuki ranked joint 1st for Trust as well as the brand that customers would most likely remain loyal to.
Commenting on the results, Nobuo Suyama, Managing Director of Suzuki GB PLC, said: We are very proud of our achievement to once again be in first position in the Automotive sector of UKCSI Index, particularly in the challenging times we continue to face. Consistent evolution of the Suzuki customer experience remains a core focus for us and the ongoing efforts of our staff and dealers has again really paid off.”
He added: “Without the support of our nationwide dealer network, and the hundreds of people that work tirelessly for the brand to deliver exceptional standards for our customers we could not have delivered such a fantastic result. I would like to again congratulate everyone who has played a part to attain another excellent achievement.”
Suzuki launches full hybrid version of popular Vitara
March 12, 2022
The Suzuki Vitara is now available with full hybrid technology that helps lower CO2 emissions and improves fuel consumption even further than the current mild hybrid with automatic transmission.
Full hybrid technology
The system consists of a 140V lithium-ion battery and inverter, Motor Generator Unit (MGU), a 12V lithium-ion battery and a conventional 12V lead-acid battery to power components requiring lower voltage such as lights, instruments, heating and air-conditioning.
Selectable hybrid modes
The new hybrid system has two switchable modes – Eco and Standard – which enables the driver to change between the two modes depending on conditions and increases the frequency of EV driving.
MGU
The MGU acts as a generator and starter motor and assists the petrol engine during vehicle take off. The high-performance lithium-ion battery stores electrical energy recovered from deceleration and braking and incorporates an idle stop function operated via the integrated starter generator. Based on engine speed and throttle position, the engine ECU judges when the driver will accelerate then uses the electric motor to add additional torque.
The hybrid system collects kinetic energy and generates electricity by stopping the engine and disengaging the clutch during deceleration, which increases the EV driving range. As a full hybrid, the Vitara can run solely on its electric motor for short distances.
Transmission
The Vitara full hybrid comes equipped with Auto Gear Shift (AGS) that automatically shifts the manual transmission and gear ratios to help provide a good combination of performance and fuel economy. AGS enables the driver to enjoy both the direct driving experience of a manual gearbox and the shifting ease of an automatic transmission. The transmission also has a manual mode with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
One notable feature of the latest hybrid system with AGS is the position of the MGU on the output side of the transmission assembly. As a result, power from the MGU is directly transmitted to the driveshafts to fill the torque gap during shifting and provides a smoother transition from the transmission.
CO2 emissions
Thanks to full hybrid technology, high tensile steel and other weight-saving measures in the body, Vitara’s CO2 emissions are low (121g/km) with an impressive combined fuel economy of 53mpg.
ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive
Suzuki’s ALLGRIP 4-wheel drive system is available as an option on the SZ5 model and incorporates four selectable drive modes – Auto, Sport, Snow and Lock – for safe, enjoyable driving on diverse surfaces.
Specification highlights
Standard equipment is comprehensive with the entry-level SZ-T model featuring: auto air conditioning, front and rear electric windows, keyless entry and start, 17″ silver alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, rear parking camera and satellite navigation. Moving up to the top-spec SZ5 adds 17″ polished alloy wheels, suede seat upholstery, panoramic sunroof, front and rear parking sensors and the availability of ALLGRIP 4WD as an option.
A high level of safety specification comes as standard including, LED multi-reflector headlamps with low and high beam, dual sensor brake support (automated emergency braking), blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control and seven airbags.
‘Best Buy’ and ‘True MPG’ success for Suzuki Ignis at the 2022 What Car? Awards… for a THIRD YEAR in a row!
January 21, 2022
Best Small SUV for Value – Ignis 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid SZ3
Best ‘True MPG’ on rural roads and motorways – Ignis 1.2 Dualjet Hybrid
Following its success in 2020 and 2021, the Suzuki Ignis has again been awarded a ‘Best Buy’ and ‘True MPG’ winner at the 2022 What Car Awards? held in London on 20th January. Comprehensively judged by the editorial team, the Ignis was announced as the best value overall small SUV model.
Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car? commented: “If you want a car with a high driving position but low costs, nothing does it quite like the Ignis. Not only does it offer bargain pricing, but its mild-hybrid petrol engine positively sips fuel; indeed, it delivers the best rural and motorway economy of anything we’ve ever put through our real-world True MPG test with figures of 74.8mpg and 53.3mpg respectively. As a bonus, the Ignis really embraces the ‘small’ in ‘small SUV’, making it a doddle to park and manoeuvre, yet it’s surprisingly spacious inside, comfortably accommodating four adults.”
Tracks Exeter crowned Suzuki Dealer of the Year 2021
December 16, 2021
We’re thrilled to announce that Tracks Exeter has been crowned Regional and National Dealer of the Year by Suzuki GB PLC at its National Dealer Conference held recently in Manchester.
Prior to the announcement, all dealerships within Suzuki’s nationwide network were evaluated using the same criteria to determine the regional, national and customer service winners. They were assessed on the percentage of sales target achieved, finance penetration percentage, Sales Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), Service CSI, number of parts sold, and the quantity of accessories sold. The figures were then aggregated on a balanced scorecard to reveal the top dealer in each of the categories.
As well as winning Regional Dealer of the Year, the top honour of National Dealer of the Year went to Tracks Suzuki Exeter, a family-run business that also has a dealership in Taunton and this year celebrated 30 years of trading with a very strong reputation for Suzuki customer sales and service in the South-West.
Dale Wyatt, Director of Automobile at Suzuki GB PLC, said: “It is an honour to recognise the achievements of our network over the last twelve months which this year was even more important due to market conditions and the heavy restrictions we are currently experiencing. We would like to congratulate all our award winners, they have shown exemplary standards of work and customer service, and without them, we would not be in the strong position that we find ourselves in today as we head into a new year and our new vision for the future. Congratulations, and we look forward to enjoying further success and another formal celebration together in 2022.”

Visited Tracks today to explore the possibility of changing my car. My wife has had a very good experience here as did I today.Very friendly... knowledgeable staff who are happy to give you their time and attention.I will be happy if it is possible to buy my next car from them!Update.I had the misfortune to damage a (diamond cut) wheel and called it Tracks to ask if they knew of someone who could repair it. They not only recommended someone to me, but booked it in and arranged to do my service at the same time.I dropped my car off on the 29th of June and they gave me the new Swace to drive (not sure about the name but a fantastic car to drive).It took 4 days to repair my wheel and I was able to keep the courtesy car while it was being repaired.I collected my car this morning and the wheel repair is amazing, the car was clean and hoovered and the staff were their usual professional, helpful and friendly selves.I cannot stress how good the service is here, the staff go above and beyond to help. It is a real pleasure to visit their showroom at Exeter.Further update!Now on my 3rd Suzuki and loving the cars! I was also invited to the launch of the new e Vitara, what a car!It was lovely to see all the team again and as always they were professional, friendly and attentive!read more

I don’t normally take the time to complete a review but I believe that Tracks Suzuki, Exeter is worth it. I Purchased a Polestar 2 from Tracks in... August 2025 whilst on holiday, which hopefully puts in to perspective how confident I was in the company. It started with speaking to Will on the phone and almost immediately I felt confident he was a cracking salesman. I had a mrs and 2 young kids in tow and at no point did I feel the process was being dragged out. Within 20mins I had a test drive, discussed finance (which was a pleasure and completely transparent with the use of a broker sorted by Will) I have purchased loads of cars and never had the freedom to pick my own finance and Apr which ended up being the lowest I had been looking at. The smooth sailing continued until there was an issue with the finance (my fault as I hadn’t brought my licence on holiday for proof of ID) BUT Tracks sorted this and managed to contact the broker and another finance company was chosen, again the problem was all on me yet they sorted it. The car was purchased and ready to go the next day, due to my issues with the ID and finance the finance company was taking an age to get it done BUT yet again Tracks came through sales, sales manager and the director were all involved just so I could get the car that day, which with there help it was pushed through. I honestly can’t really do the review justice of how good the company was and is. At no point did I feel I was a problem (even though I was), at no point did I feel pressured into buying anything extra, the car was in a really good condition, it was clean and tidy and had a wash prior to me getting it and a full charge. The communication didn’t stop after the sale either. The after sales again was amazing checking how the car was and how I was with the car. The fact that the car wasn’t a Suzuki either was impressive, the sales team were knowledgable about all the cars on the lot no matter what make or model they were. I would recommend this company 100%. Has that family run business feeling about it and they would honestly do anything for you.read more

Car has been great and look forward to keeping it for years to come. Thanks William and Tracks.read more

EDIT:I am pleased to say this was resolved satisfactorily and therefore I have adjusted the star rating from 1 star to 4. Many thanks.We are... normally so impressed with the customer service at Tracks Suzuki however a couple of weeks ago I feel it was lacking somewhat. I had my car booked in for a service and MOT which was carried out in good time considering it needed a few repairs, one of which was a slow puncture on a tyre from a nail. I was assured that a repair had been successfully carried out and I left to make the hour long journey home. After about 10 minutes on the motorway, the tyre pressure warning light came on indicating that the tyre pressure had dropped to 28. I called Tracks as soon as I got home and they graciously offered to refund the cost of the repair, and that I take it to a local tyre repair place to get it fixed as we live so far away.The next day, when I turned the engine on the tyre pressure warning light was now saying the faulty tyre was at 18, which is near enough a flat tyre. I drove straight to a local tyre repair place whereby they then proceeded to tell me that the repair had been so badly carried out they were unable to re-repair the tyre and that I would need a brand new tyre. They told me I could take a video of them pouring the fluid onto the repair which I did, and you can see how badly cracked it was and bubbling. They also mentioned how they were happy to speak to Tracks Suzuki directly about the matter, which I felt was very honest.I then called Tracks Suzuki and spoke to David Upton, to explain what had happened and if they were willing to offer any compensation towards the cost of the new tyre, to which I was laughed at and told that they would never have done a bad repair, and that he had to go as he had "people shouting at him". Considering how quickly the tyre pressure warning light came on during my drive home, it is quite clear that this was indeed a bad repair, and a dangerous one at that.Not only do I feel this is completely unacceptable, as I was sent home to drive a long way on a faulty tyre (at 8 months pregnant I might add), but the way in which it was handled was dismissive and unprofessional. It has left a sour taste in our mouths and although we will lose out on our lifetime guarantee, unless this is rectified satisfactorily, we will not be using Tracks Suzuki for any further business again.read more

Well, I went to post a new review and found that I hadn’t hit the “post” button on this one from June last year, so it will do instead!……It is a 100... mile round trip for me to have my Vitara serviced by Tracks and, as always, on 4th June it was well worth it. Always treat my like a really valued customer. They really went the extra mile this time - I couldn’t believe it when I returned to my car not only to find it immaculately washed and cleaned inside, but they had also somehow managed to remove a horrible red paint scrape on the side of the car which someone had left whilst my car was parked months ago. I hadn’t managed to get the mark off in months of trying. I hadn’t asked them to do this - well done Tracks. It is so rare to be delighted like this.read more

Can't find any fault with Tracks at all. I wanted to buy a car with no stress or issues (if ever there was I should just hand the keys over) & they... haven't disappointed.Will has always gone out of his way to support, whether its sales, questions or servicing nothing is ever to much trouble or an issue. He has communicated with me directly throughout my purchase and since. Unlike other garages I've only really had to deal with Will for everything, he takes pride in his work and won't send you on a wild goose chase.The rest of the team I've met are down to earth, lovely open and honest, as I've said I haven't had to deal with them really but I can't imagine they would be any different.All in all Tracks is a refreshing experience to not only buying but owning a car, top marks all round!read more

Had new Swift sports twice now and was a bit sad it was being stopped so we bought a new Swift Ultra 1.2 and what a difference it’s amazing. It’s... still pleasantly nippy and the extras are just never ending and they are extremely nice to drive makes me want to keep going out for a drive. One extra which I found yesterday was the adaptive cruise control I did not have a clue about. On the motorway I always set the speed so I did with the ACC and the car drives itself take your feet off the accelerator and away it goes it keeps a set distance from the car in front and if he slows down so do you and it’s a set distance from the car behind you and stays within the speed limit. If the car in front keeps slowing down you indicate to change lanes and away you go accelerating on its own to the speed limit if you change lanes without indicating the car gently turns back into your lane. The extras on this car more than make up for not having a sport it makes the drive so much more enjoyable and the staff at Tracks Exeter are brilliant with sales service and anything else and the new Ultra has everything and more. The car also has a camera in the radio/satnav screen that checks your fave to see if your getting drowsy at the wheel I assume it then sounds an alarm.read more

Within 20mins I had a test drive, discussed finance (which was a pleasure and completely transparent with the use of a broker sorted by Will) I have purchased loads of cars and never had the freedom to pick my own finance and Apr which ended up being the lowest I had been looking at. The smooth sailing continued until there was an issue with the finance (my fault as I hadn’t brought my licence on holiday for proof of ID) BUT Tracks sorted this and managed to contact the broker and another finance company was chosen, again the problem was all on me yet they sorted it. The car was purchased and ready to go the next day, due to my issues with the ID and finance the finance company was taking an age to get it done BUT yet again Tracks came through sales, sales manager and the director were all involved just so I could get the car that day, which with there help it was pushed through. I honestly can’t really do the review justice of how good the company was and is. At no point did I feel I was a problem (even though I was), at no point did I feel pressured into buying anything extra, the car was in a really good condition, it was clean and tidy and had a wash prior to me getting it and a full charge. The communication didn’t stop after the sale either. The after sales again was amazing checking how the car was and how I was with the car. The fact that the car wasn’t a Suzuki either was impressive, the sales team were knowledgable about all the cars on the lot no matter what make or model they were. I would recommend this company 100%. Has that family run business feeling about it and they would honestly do anything for you.read more

I have used Tracks of Exeter for the past 7 years, amazing service, I recently helped my granddaughter buy her first car, Suzuki Swift, after a month... a little niggle with the air con appeared, taking it in today I mentioned to Anita that there were 2 other very minor issues, no problem, we will sort that whilst it's here and they did. Sitting in reception I was amazed at the number of customers that were booking their next service before they left.Thank you Anita and Tracks for looking after us. Customer service at its very best.read more

Bought a Vitara from Tracks in June. Sales man (William Stoyle) was great. Handled everything perfectly. Treated my wife and myself exceptionally... well, without any pushy hard selling techniques. This made the purchase process easy and satisfying. As for the car- we drove it back to the north of Scotland and have just completed a road trip around the NC500. Car has been great and look forward to keeping it for years to come. Thanks William and Tracks.read more

We purchased a Suzuki in December and what can we say for salesman was a lovely charming young gentleman who was very helpful and got us the car... quickly as we needed it urgently fantastic handover and support from all the team at tracks every time the vehicle goes in to be serviced it is washed and cleaned and they always offer us. Coffee for showroom is immaculate and the staff are all very friendly. Would highly recommend this company.read more

It is always a pleasure to visit Tracks in Exeter. The staff are all so helpful and friendly. This was my first service after buying a Swift from... them a year ago. We have the monthly payment plan and it was a nice surprise to hear that we had nothing to pay! Nice surprise also when we were told about the after-service guarantee. It was a lovely sunny day and so we took a walk along the Canal just a few minutes walk away.while we were waiting for the work to be completed.read more

Really good experience at Tracks. Sales staff were personable but not pushy, so I never worried I was being cajoled or scammed. I also paid for a... reverse camera to be installed and a manager who lives local to me collected the car and bought it back after the install. They even gave the car a wash! I would recommend them and they will be my first call next time I need a new car.read more

EDIT:I am pleased to say this was resolved satisfactorily and therefore I have adjusted the star rating from 1 star to 4. Many thanks.We are... normally so impressed with the customer service at Tracks Suzuki however a couple of weeks ago I feel it was lacking somewhat. I had my car booked in for a service and MOT which was carried out in good time considering it needed a few repairs, one of which was a slow puncture on a tyre from a nail. I was assured that a repair had been successfully carried out and I left to make the hour long journey home. After about 10 minutes on the motorway, the tyre pressure warning light came on indicating that the tyre pressure had dropped to 28. I called Tracks as soon as I got home and they graciously offered to refund the cost of the repair, and that I take it to a local tyre repair place to get it fixed as we live so far away.The next day, when I turned the engine on the tyre pressure warning light was now saying the faulty tyre was at 18, which is near enough a flat tyre. I drove straight to a local tyre repair place whereby they then proceeded to tell me that the repair had been so badly carried out they were unable to re-repair the tyre and that I would need a brand new tyre. They told me I could take a video of them pouring the fluid onto the repair which I did, and you can see how badly cracked it was and bubbling. They also mentioned how they were happy to speak to Tracks Suzuki directly about the matter, which I felt was very honest.I then called Tracks Suzuki and spoke to David Upton, to explain what had happened and if they were willing to offer any compensation towards the cost of the new tyre, to which I was laughed at and told that they would never have done a bad repair, and that he had to go as he had "people shouting at him". Considering how quickly the tyre pressure warning light came on during my drive home, it is quite clear that this was indeed a bad repair, and a dangerous one at that.Not only do I feel this is completely unacceptable, as I was sent home to drive a long way on a faulty tyre (at 8 months pregnant I might add), but the way in which it was handled was dismissive and unprofessional. It has left a sour taste in our mouths and although we will lose out on our lifetime guarantee, unless this is rectified satisfactorily, we will not be using Tracks Suzuki for any further business again.read more

Well, I went to post a new review and found that I hadn’t hit the “post” button on this one from June last year, so it will do instead!……It is a 100... mile round trip for me to have my Vitara serviced by Tracks and, as always, on 4th June it was well worth it. Always treat my like a really valued customer. They really went the extra mile this time - I couldn’t believe it when I returned to my car not only to find it immaculately washed and cleaned inside, but they had also somehow managed to remove a horrible red paint scrape on the side of the car which someone had left whilst my car was parked months ago. I hadn’t managed to get the mark off in months of trying. I hadn’t asked them to do this - well done Tracks. It is so rare to be delighted like this.read more

Can't find any fault with Tracks at all. I wanted to buy a car with no stress or issues (if ever there was I should just hand the keys over) & they... haven't disappointed.Will has always gone out of his way to support, whether its sales, questions or servicing nothing is ever to much trouble or an issue. He has communicated with me directly throughout my purchase and since. Unlike other garages I've only really had to deal with Will for everything, he takes pride in his work and won't send you on a wild goose chase.The rest of the team I've met are down to earth, lovely open and honest, as I've said I haven't had to deal with them really but I can't imagine they would be any different.All in all Tracks is a refreshing experience to not only buying but owning a car, top marks all round!read more

Had new Swift sports twice now and was a bit sad it was being stopped so we bought a new Swift Ultra 1.2 and what a difference it’s amazing. It’s... still pleasantly nippy and the extras are just never ending and they are extremely nice to drive makes me want to keep going out for a drive. One extra which I found yesterday was the adaptive cruise control I did not have a clue about. On the motorway I always set the speed so I did with the ACC and the car drives itself take your feet off the accelerator and away it goes it keeps a set distance from the car in front and if he slows down so do you and it’s a set distance from the car behind you and stays within the speed limit. If the car in front keeps slowing down you indicate to change lanes and away you go accelerating on its own to the speed limit if you change lanes without indicating the car gently turns back into your lane. The extras on this car more than make up for not having a sport it makes the drive so much more enjoyable and the staff at Tracks Exeter are brilliant with sales service and anything else and the new Ultra has everything and more. The car also has a camera in the radio/satnav screen that checks your fave to see if your getting drowsy at the wheel I assume it then sounds an alarm.read more

I had been looking for a long time for a particular vehic oking for so long i met and spoke to a lot of car dealers throught the british isles. All i... can say is none of them were a patch on the Tracks team. (William Stoyle mainly).Not just other car dealers but a lot of businesses that come in contact with the public can learn a hell of a lot from this team and their methods.I have to say a massive thankyou to William Stoyle separately. Its hard to believe this , polite, patience and knowledgeable young man is only 19. ???!!!!. You have a very bright future ahead of you sir and i wish you all the very best...read more

The really good reviews on Google helped me in my decision to choose to visit this dealer, and I am here to add to the praise for Tracks Suzuki and... in particular the salesman William Stoyle. My purchase was super straight forward, from the ease of arranging the test drive, to the completion of all the paperwork and the collection of the car. William was really helpful, knowledgeable and genuine, a pleasant change from some other sales people I'd encountered in my search for a car.Hats off and thanks to the team who prepared the car, and applied the very competitively priced ceramic coating. The car looked as good as it could when I collected it, so very shiny!I'm hoping this car will last me for some time, but when it comes to replacement time Tracks Suzuki will be top of the list of dealers to visit.read more

Lovely to see... staff who stay and who know us, so we are greeted by name and welcomed as friends, indeed, I have never known them greet anyone without curtesy and respect. The cars are fabulous and I am now on my second Ignis, which is brilliant fun and really zippy. Highly recommend this team, can't fault them in any way!!read more
