I don't know if the 2002 has the same problem w/ the check engine light (I think it is just the 2001 cars and not just Suzuki, but other makes too). I just read the entire 176 comments to see if I can find an answer to why Suzuki hasn't done right by us 2001 Esteem owners with the check engine light issue -- there are quite a few postings about this issue. But there are a lot ... Read More...

I'm looking to buy a used 2002 Suzuki Esteem with around 31,000 miles from a dealer (for around $5700). I saw that the front tyres need replacing (tread wear). Is this normal? Thanks. Read More...

Esteem Aerio???

Written by: evensteven on May 14, 2005 02:23 AM

Does anyone know if the 2.0L Aerio engine will fit in a Suzuki Esteem? I just bought a 2002 Aerio engine and tranny. I am going to try to stick it in my 99 GLX. It will be awsome if it works. The 2.0L looks almost exactly like the 1.8L so I am guessing it will work. I called Suzuki and the could not tell me. I also called the corporate people and they said I would have to call ...

alot of those original Suz Esteem's had fast wearing performance tires and the shock in the front would start to fade at 25K. Tire wear onthe outside of each front tire tread(about 1.25" in). keep the tires up to 32-33 psi and the back up to 30psi and you will be able to get more miles--with good shock--about 55-60K per set with rotation. The tire alignment is a big ... Read More...

Thank you for the advice. This one is a manual transmission, so I need to be more cautious. I will have it checked by an independent mechanic. Thanks again, and any further advice is appreciated. Read More...

All front wheel drive cars will ware the front tires down really fast, because they have to turn the car and move the car at the same time. If there is uneven ware the alignment might be off. If the car is a 1.6L and a manual transmission, make sure the transmission doesnt make any noise. The automatics are very common so they are not so expensive. But the manual tranmissions ...

I am seriously considering getting a left-over 2002 GLX+ wagon and would like some recommendations as to quality, power and reliability. That zero down/zero interest is the lure. Also, if they are going to discontinue the Esteem, would that pose service problems down the line? I generally keep a car a long time. Thanks for any advice. Read More...
