2004 Suzuki Verona LX from North America - Comments

Just a problem with the engine stumbling when cold. This was fixed with re-programming the engine engine computer. Covered by the factory warranty. No other issues so far.

Very good looking car, very comfortable and a great value when purchased used. The Verona gets OK fuel mileage (averaging 21 MPG) in mixed driving and get about 25 to 26 MPG at on the highway.

Performance from the 2.5 I-6 is OK, but not a rocket ship due to the vehicle's weight. The engine has good torque and is quite smooth. The transmission is not perfectly suited for the engine and often shifts roughly. Not a perfect car, but great for the low $$$ investment.

I wrote the original review on the 2004 Verona LX... I am not sure why it posted a sad face instead of a "neutral" or "happy" face. I am generally happy with the vehicle and would buy another Suzuki. As a matter of fact we own 2 more Suzuki's (both 2005 Forenza Wagons). Also want to correct one more thing I messed up: The car is a good value if purchased USED. That is what I was trying to say at the start of the original review. Sorry for all of the confusion...

Just one additional note: The only parts I have needed to purchase have been oil filters. I have not found any after market oil filters listed in the oil filter catalogs for the Verona (although I am sure I could match one up if I had to), so I have had to purchase them from the dealership. Not a big deal for me. One more thing, the engine takes approximately 7 quarts of oil (with filter change)

I got my 2004 verona in 04 and it was a good investment very good car only problem was the O2 sensor in the beginning and the very expensive brakes to replace because there are no off market brands after 40,ooo miles ($1,200) for the brakes.

My 2004 Suzuki Verona Lx is a very beutiful car and overall nice to ride in. However, I'm not sure if there have been manufacturing problems with the transmissions. I bought a 2005 suzuki forenza and a week after buying had tranny issues. Then it got to the point I just trading it in for another noted above. A few months into this, the tranny actually gave out. Thankfully suzuki has a great warranty program. I was just curious if this has been a problem with suzukis or if I was having bad luck? Thanks to whomever!
