2004 Suzuki Aerio Sedan

Pros: Great crash tests scores, Comfort ride, Unique, Price, Stand features
Cons: Poor brake performance, bad handling, engine noise, can't have side air bag

This is my second review of this Aerio S auto, which it replaces my first review. By now, I have owned the car for three months, and driven 3000 miles. Many thoughts about this car have changed during the past three months; it just takes time for a ...

Pros: Lots of room, fantastic gas mileage, cute looks, affordable
Cons: Low ground clearance...watch that front end ground effect!

I recently traded in my 1999 Dodge Avenger (the devil car, see my other review) for a 2004 Suzuki Aerio. I put quite a bit of research into my choice, and decided this was the best way to go. I had recently moved into the city, which lengthened my ...

Pros: Great look, easy to find in a parking lot, smooth ride.
Cons: Doesn't come with standard cruise control

This is an amazing car, its very smooth to drive, easy for a driver who gets nervous behind the wheel. I love this car and will have it till it just falls apart. The seats are so comfortable for those long trips. When your in the car you can't even hear the outside noise. Ours has a digital read out which is so nice. The back seat is perfect for other riders, plenty of room and easy to get in and out of. The trunk is HUGE and can carry all of my husband TA-50 and more. This car also warms up fast which is so nice for those freezing cold days. From a womans point of view this car is a dream. I enjoy driving it since its easy to get around with. I'm not driving a tank through a parking lot, and can get into a parking space with ease. I'm not worried about my car breaking down because its a good quality car.

Pros: Lots of room, power, handles well, great on gas, Great price
Cons: motor a bit noisy if you really get on the gas hard.

Fun to drive, Loaded with features, Great power for hills and passing other cars, nice seat position, great on gas, 29 mpg with auto all wheel drive, Easy to get in and out of, very roomy inside as well as a huge trunk.

Pros: Cute, inexpensive, easy to drive, got me compliments
Cons: Clearly not a durable car, taller people may find it uncomfortable

Some guy rear-ended my 1996 Camry, and, while it was in the shop, the guy who damaged my car got me a rental- a red 2004 Aerio sedan- for me to use.

For the first 5 minutes in the car, I enjoyed it a great deal- it drove well, and it's always fun to drive a newer car. Sure, my Camry's trashed, but at least I'm getting a fun new driving experience out of it, right?

On the way back from the dealership, the sun started getting in my eyes, so I started tilting down the visor.

**It broke in my hand.**

I look at the connector from the visor to the top wall of the car- it's mostly plastic, with a thin metal core. Only a slight tilt of this connector broke the visor.

I promise you, after that experience, I will never, ever, buy anything with the Suzuki name on it. Even my Camry, with its 100,000+ miles, can survive a tilt of the visor.
