Got my driver's license as a teen on a Maruti 800. It was the car owned by my driving instructor. The car was small(needed for reversing between slaloms 6 inches from the side minors without touching) with cheap and available parts even in the Caribbean and easy to replace the clutch after students burnt it out learning to drive. My girlfriend's mother even bought one for herself after I recommended the same diving instructor. I had the car for a few months after a hurricane ripped us a new one, smashing the rear glass of the car in the process. The island was shut down for the outside world for weeks and it wasn't for months until a replacement glass could be import from the Suzuki dealership. Being that is was a flat glass I simply cut a big piece of plexiglass and used that for the time being. The rear hatch was also big enough to fit a sizable generator I needed to pickup that could not fit in my family's Corolla or Sentra. The 3 cylinder engine surprisingly had enough power to climb 45-50 degree hills(needed when your island is all hills), albeit slowly.
