The lump that graces the interior of the Cappuccino's slinky bonnet is in fact a jewel of an engine utilising all the latest in technology in a package so compact that Suzuki should immediately dispense with the rest of the surrounds and build a motorcycle.
However add the car's diminutive height into the equation, take off the roof for some genuine wind in the hair motoring and revel in the car's surprisingly gutsy mid range, accompanied by the ever present whistle from the spinning turbo charger.
Out on the open road the car's delicate steering and lightweight feel at the controls allowed pinpoint placing of the front wheels and the car tracked faithfully and neutrally around most corners.
Braking from speed was another area where the Cappuccino excelled.
