Suzuki Aerio OWNER RATINGS & REVIEWS
Martinsville, Indiana
It's a decent car for a decent price.
I have driven my 2003 silver Suzuki Aerio for almost 10 years now. I have put over 120,000 miles on it and I have to say that for the price, I am very impressed with how well it runs. I love that it is a simple and small 4 cylinder car that is very easy on gas mileage, but it feels so much bigger on the inside. This is important to me because for a lot of other smaller vehicles the aerodynamic designs make for so many blind spots and it feels like you are jamming yourself into a tin can. That is not the case for me and my Suzuki. My car has been wrecked and fixed 3 times and it still runs like a dream. The body of the car is made of a very light plastic and that is one thing that I was not very fond of. There is a strange panel on the back bumper that fell off of mine leaving my poor car to look toothless and I have seen that in several other Aerios just driving around, so that must have been a faulty design. And over time, I have noticed that the metal is just cheap and starting to rust a bit. The interior feels like a much bigger car than it is and the windshield is nice and tall and wide, so I feel like I can see so much better. The seats in the back fold down and you have access to the trunk, and I have found that to be a very useful feature for when I have had to move from state to state. The digital dashboard is a nice touch having the large numbers make your speed very easy to read. I also liked having the gear shifter in between the seats instead of on the steering wheel. I find that to be more comfortable to drive. There were some electrical issues that, over time, I noticed the buttons would just stop working, so that is one thing to look out for. The engine is settled in a way that is not too difficult to work on. But the parts are not normally in stock. This car is not a really common one like a Toyota sienna, so it can take a little bit more time to get the parts that you need. Overall, I would say that I have been very impressed with the Suzuki Aerio. If you are looking for a consistent and stable 4 cylinder that is easy on the gas, I would recommend this vehicle.

Lots of repair problems
After college, I didn't have a car and ended up with a hilariously long bus commute across town, which led to me standing around in the darkness downtown waiting for my transfer. Eventually I said enough is enough, and saved up for a car. I got a used Suzuki Aerio in red and it was my first grownup car! I was pretty excited and loved it at first but then over time it has developed tons of ongoing problems. So that has been very expensive to take care of, and plus because it is a less common car, several auto shops have not really known how to fix it or they don't have the parts in stock. That extra time waiting around for repairs has also been a big drain on the enjoyment of my car.

Expensive starter car
I purchased a used 2006 all-wheel drive Suzuki Aerio SX with about 112,000 miles on it. This was the first car I have ever owned, and it was started as a perfect right even at the high mileage. The car is relatively low to the ground, so it definitely has a learning curve if it's not something you are used to driving. It was pretty spacious for what appears to be a compact hatchback from the outside. Things I like the most about the car were the turn radius, which was due low-profile style of the car and how fuel efficient it was. Stocked with 10 to 11 gallon tank that car would average between 23 - 25 miles per gallon. One of the minor issues I had with the car was the cheap exterior. It was pretty much all this cheap plastic that was held together by relatively small screws, other than the doors, hood, and roof. The main issue with getting this car at a high mileage was the cost of maintaining the vehicle. Within a month of having it, the catalytic converter needed to be replaced, and since parts for the car were scarce, this rounded out to about a $1,000 price tag. As time went on, the age and mileage of the car started to show with almost monthly visits to the shop averaging about $300 per visit.
