2003 Suzuki Liana from Norway - Comments

Nothing so far (compared to my previous car (2003 VW Polo TDI) that had at least 17 different problems/faults in only 8 months).

I have only owned this car for 3 weeks now, but I am already sure that it will not give me any bad surprises.

When I bought this car the list of options was very short (Norway). The main reason for this is that Suzuki have implemented so much equipment that very little more is needed.

The only thing I miss is a diesel engine (gas is very expensive in Europe).

I wrote the text above. Updates:

It`s now 3 months and almost 3000 km since I got this car.

I am still in heaven; every thing works perfect even if I try my best to test this car to it`s limits. Nothing seems possible to break! A have (my self) equipped this car with front center arm-lest, new stereo (I needed a MP3 player) and black windows in the rear. I love this car!! By the way, my previous car, a 2003 VW Polo TDI, was my worst mistake. Everything was opposite; nothing worked. But that is now forgotten...

I purchased my Liana GL Sedan in March 2003 and love it. It looks nice and has great leg room and height. The lively 1.6 engine is very versatile and all the power I want. It has great pulling power even when at low speed in 5th gear. I have ordered the same model, but the GLX and will take delivery on 1st September 2004.

I have found this car very reliable over 20,000 miles of driving and nothing has broken. The Suzuki warranty is great and the dealers were extremely friendly and helpful. I find the 1.6 engine great and very powerful. Great Car!

I 've got a Aerio '03 this is the name for the Liana here in Quebec.

After 41000 km, no single problem, except for the electric window who don't want to open in very frosty morning (usual thing during the usual temp of minus 15 c during the montreal winter). Not that the power window aren't powerful enough, the rubber seal may be to good. I simply wish I've get manual opening window.

The fuel consumption is not very good to. With the single motorization available here (2.0 liter) I got lot of power (145 hp) but 10 liter / 100 km in the cold season and only 8.5 in summer. I wish I can opt for the new diesel engine available in 2005 but not here.

I wrote the original survey on this Liana 4 years ago now. I still own this car and this is my report after 4 years and almost 2 months later. At 66600 km I'm still very happy with the car and only minor things had to be fixed (rattles/dashboardlampe/oxygensensor etc.). All of things things have been done for free even after normal warranty has expired. Thank you Suzuki Norway!
