Overview & Reviews

As the Aerio is a recent introduction to the market, there aren't that many changes for 2003. Suzuki has bumped the horsepower up by four to 145 and nudged the torque up one pound-foot to 135. Other additions include integrated cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, a three-point seatbelt and headrest for rear center seat and a new cloth design. The GS and SX models drop the rear-seat armrest, get a six-disc in-dash CD player and have the optional all-wheel-drive available.

• Wagon-body style, available all-wheel drive, affordable price, large interior, powerful standard engine.

• Strange interior design, missing some key features.

  REAL 33.5 mpg - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By credto - September 21 - 10:00 am

  I currently have 14,284 miles on my gas saving commuter. This car has a the comforts of a 20k car but sips gas like a Kia... my last tank of gas was $11.35 and I got 327 miles on that tank. The 6 disc 7 speaker stereo plays great, and I get alot more electronic bells and whistles than my wifes 2001 Subaru 2.5 rs, that cost 7k more.

  OK car but bad for the cold weather and snow driving - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By denis18 - June 22 - 10:17 am

  I bought this cat at 55K and sold at 92K miles on it when the bearing and brake pads needed change. The car is OK, but the engine light was on and off several times during my ownership of the car. Nothing serious was found and it looked like a computer glitch. The worst part is that the car is simply not designed for the cold weather and snow driving. At freezing temperatures all pneumatics go off, like locks, windows etc, and driving under snow is a lot of stress. Overall, the cars worth its price as long as you live in the warm climate all year around.

  GREAT CAR - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By mysticcrab - June 16 - 2:00 am

  Bought our 03 SX AWD in 8/02, now have over 30,000 on it and no problems. Made a trip from NY to NC and TEN., performed beautifully on road, hills were no problem for the peppy engine, also great gas mileage. Lots of leg room, and with back seats folded there is ample cargo space for larger items. We love our 03 and are will be going back to Suzuki when it is time to buy another one. We are very happy with this car and recommend it highly.

  By PAUL CHESNEY - April 8 - 2:00 am

  GREAT BUY MY OTHER CAR IS A 1994 FLEETWOOD WITH A LT1 CORVETTE MOTER AND I WILL HAVE TO TELL YOU MY AERIO IS A BLAST TO DRIVE ITS SO HARD TO BELEIVE HOW THEY MADE SO MUCH ROOM INSIDE OF THIS LITTLE CAR LOTS OF SMALL STORAGE PLACES. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A REALLY NEAT LITTLE CAR WITH A GREAT COMFORT RIDE AND DRIVE TEST DRIVE AN AERIO SX BEFORE YOU BUY

  I love it! - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By mic5000 - February 25 - 2:00 am

  I love my new car. I dont know what the deal is whith consumer reports, car and driver, etc. I feel as though this car is solid and will last me the next 10 years. Suzuki, will you make a hybrid version please! That would make the car perfect (well, that plus different upholstry)!

  Excellent Car - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By N.H. - January 19 - 2:00 am

  Just got the car in September. It is a very nice looking car with good build. It has a powerful engine for a car of its size. It handles well and allows for very comfortable and exciting ride. Good amount of space available when needed. Nice hidden compartments to put away little things under the passengers seen and in the back. It has a modern look to it from the outside and the inside while still feeling like a good sold quality build unit. Nice numeric dash, exact numbers and clear (very clear) even when the sun is shining directly one it. A lot of room is available for the legs in the front and the back seets.

  So far, so good.... - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By jontyrees - December 8 - 2:00 am

  Im finding my 02 Aerio SX, (wagon), to be a very pleasant companion so far. I have the 5-speed, 0-60mph in the 8.0- 8.4 sec range will let you scoot past most of the behemoths on the road. Its incredibly manouverable, and the handling is ok if a little bit too softly sprung. Interior design and space management is excellent - with cargo space matching that of small to mid-size SUVs like the Saturn Vue and Nissan Xterra. The seats are comfortable and supportive, controls are well placed, and the digital dash is terrific for visibility and speed of comprehension. Overall, I really like this car.
