2003 Suzuki Aerio S review from North America
"A reliable car with lots of features at a bargain price."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I noticed that there were not many reviews for this car so I wanted to post one. We have had no problems with our Suzuki Aerio since we purchased it.
General comments?
We were expecting a baby and needed a larger vehicle. After comparing the packages of other cars this size, the Aerio was the best car for the money. Considering the size of the car, the interior has plenty of head space and the backseat has enough room for a car seat and two people (for short trips). The electronic overdrive transmission shifts very smooth and the car is easy on gas and the engine seems to have plenty of power for keeping up with other cars and for lane changing in large city traffic. We recently took a long trip in the car and the trunk has a lot more space than you would think.
Advise: If you need roof top accessories, I would recommend the dealer's roof rack system. It is over half the cost of aftermarket brands and much easier to install. I installed mine in 20 minutes.
