Overview & Reviews
A 155-horsepower, 2.3-liter, four-cylinder engine; a seven-speaker stereo; and a driver-seat armrest are now standard on all Aerios. LX sedans (formerly called GS) and SX wagons now offer heated mirrors, foglights, a revised rear spoiler and an automatic climate control system on cars equipped with ABS. There's also a new 15-inch alloy wheel design.
- Wagon-body style, available all-wheel drive, affordable price, roomy interior, powerful standard engine, solid crash test scores.
- Almost no storage space in the cabin, low-grade interior plastics, sloppy handling, no side airbags available.

Still feels like new - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By misskellu - August 24 - 1:20 pmI bought my Aerio S new in Dec 2003 and still enjoy driving it as much as I did the first week. Its small and easy to park but feels roomy inside. Its high profile makes it comfortable to get in and out and also provides good visibility. Im tall and its the first compact that Ive had where I didnt feel like my backside is dragging on the ground while Im driving or that I have to fall into the seat and haul myself out. I can pretty much just step in & out. The handling is decent on the freeway I have no problem accellerating to pass. The engine is very quiet while idling and has a nice lil growl when you punch it. I live in a hilly city and the automatic scales them with ease.

Great Little Car - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By luvmysuzuki - February 4 - 9:16 pmAfter an accident rendered my wifes Escort undriveable we decided to replace it with something just as economical but we wanted something with a little more pizzaz.We didnt have a lot of money to spend so the Corollas and Civics were priced out of our range.We briefly considered a Hyundai or Kia but just didnt get the warm fuzzy feeling with them.As soon as we sat in the Aerio we were hooked.The headroom is massive (enough to accomodate a six foot tall person with inches to spare).There are more standard features on this car than you can shake a stick at (AC,6 disc CD,PW,PDL and heated mirrors are standard!).We average almost 30 MPG and as far as power....Buckle up and hang on!!!

By augoct221 - March 23 - 2:00 amThis Vehicale is great in snow. The gas milage is a little disapointing for its class.

My Aerio - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By Yvonne08 - March 16 - 2:00 amI love my little Aerio. At first, when i saw the car i was hesitant, but as soon as I got inside and saw all the cute original features that the car has, I fell in love. Ive had my car now for four months and Im so happy. I hope it lasts a long time with me. =)

2004 Suzuki Aerio SX - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By Vinnie Torioalleo - February 25 - 4:46 amVery, very quick but needs better suspension. Theres a lot of noise in the cabin area. Brakes are very, very, very noisy. Everything else about the car is great, buy one or youll have to get an sx4 because this fast and furious baby as been discontinued.

Reliable car with great features - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By scott morgan - February 9 - 12:43 pmI bought my awd aerio brand new with 49 miles. It was loaded with climate control and ABS, I paid $15,000 for it. At first I had a minor hiccup with balding tires (tires went bald after 14,000 miles! dealer fixed it with alignment or something and its been golden since). This was my first new car and I am so glad I bought it. I have treated it well and changed the oil every 3,000 and got a tune up(spark plugs and stuff) at 100,000. I have went through some brakes and a few tire changes. The car has 140,000 miles on it and will be 6 years old next month. The car is great in the winter and I hope to get another 3-5 years out of the car.

Snow Eater / Summer Racer - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By IBOT - December 8 - 5:36 amI love my Suzuki Aerio. I have not had any problems with it. We had snow last week it is fantastic in the slick stuff. I wish the interior came in a differant color though. More storage would be nice as well. The climate control works very well. The heated mirrors are a very nice touch. For the price no one can touch it. Plus it has a great warranty.

Gets me from here to there, no problems. - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By jeffrok - August 14 - 10:00 am$3,000 cheaper than the competition and a 7 year warranty! Pros: Good mileage in automatic or manual. Different looking, making it easy to find in a parking lot. Nice seats Great stock radio (6 CD changer, 6 speakers) Tons more head and legroom than the Protege5.. Cons: Narrow, tall styling makes it lean quite a bit in sharp turns Different looking, making some people smirk at your car Engine is a little growly at highway speeds, but not too bad.. No factory sunroof option You have to remove the headrests to fold the back seats down Dash isnt sporty enough. Hopefully its a good winter car.. I hope I dont regret not opting for the AWD.

A Car For Any Season - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
By 13Edge - February 11 - 3:56 pmIf you are looking for 0-60 acceleration or fast and furious performance, dont get an AWD Aerio. The automatic tranny just wont allow it. The interior is well designed with the controls for everything placed just right. The car is very comfortable for my 63" 280 lb. frame. The factory radio is incredible and with the rear seats folded down I can fit more things in this than the old S-10 Blazer I had. This car really shines in bad weather. It handles snow and rain like a champ, and it eats up country dirt roads. All in all, with the interior room, all weather capability, and storage space, you almost feel like you are driving an SUV... except this has more standard features that most SUVs.
