Used 2004 Suzuki Aerio Consumer Reviews
My Second Aerio, better than the first..
I have had most cars in this class including a Civic, Insight, Corolla, Cavalier, Elantra, Sephia, Escort and Swift. Having a previous good experience with my Suzuki Swift, I bought a 2002 Suzuki Aerio with the 2.0L 4 Cylinder. I loved it so much, I went back to Suzuki and bought another! The power improvement for '04 is VERY noticeable without a penalty in MPG. Suzuki also addressed the lack of a driver armrest and my 2004 seems much quieter on the inside (engine is very quiet on both). I would suggest to would-be compact class buyers to test drive an Aerio after driving an Echo, Corolla, Civic or Scion XA or XB & I'm sure you'll be impressed!
Great AWD Car
Great car, price was great, fun to drive, good on gas, I am getting 29 miles to the gallon with the auto AWD. Very easy getting in and out of. Roomy inside,easy to park, great in traffic, all the options that come standard with this car. I got the car for 15,800, great value
Cold starts a problem
While overall an excellent vehicle, the Aerio Sedan has 2 problems, one of them major. Until the engine warms up (takes 5 minutes+) the automatic transmission will not shift from 3rd to 4th gear. This occurs even in warm weather until the engine itself is warm (not related to exterior temperature). Also, the cup holders are bloched by the gear selector.
Dont waste your money
I absolutly hate this car, and am sorry I ever decided to buy it. As my first *NEW* car it was very affordable, but thats about it. Handles very poorly, Interior is made of cheap quality. Theres no storage space save for glove compartment. Windshield wipers move either to fast or to slow. Build is not very aero-dynamic makes for a shakey ride.
Sweet
Awesome car it has speed, good handling and lots of head room
