2004 Suzuki Reno review from North America
"Terrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About a year after I owned the car I noticed that the engine would rev up to 3000-4000 rpm while the car was at rest (at stop lights or when in neutral, etc.) I took my car to the dealership 4 times about the problem and they never could figure out what was wrong, or fix the problem. I still have this problem. This car has had at least 5 recalls on it. My clutch slave cylinder just went out and I had to get that replaced which was extremely expensive and the cylinder is in a very bad spot, it is behind the transmission so you have to pull the transmission to replace the part. Very bad engineering on that particular part.
General comments?
I take good care of my car, I change the oil regularly, check the fluids, change the tires, check the air pressure and I don't run the car hard.
This car has given me nothing but problems, I have something go wrong with my car about every month which is terribly expensive and inconvenient.
This has been a horrible car for me and I would never ever buy another Suzuki or recommend Suzuki to anyone, I always discourage people from buying Suzuki.
