This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Wagon-body style, available all-wheel drive, affordable price, roomy interior, powerful standard engine, solid crash test scores.
Cons:
  • Almost no storage space in the cabin, low-grade interior plastics, sloppy handling, no side airbags available.

  • 131,000 And Going Strong - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    Ive just now finished using my 2004 Aerio Sedan and will now pass it to my daughter. I bought it brand new and put almost every single mile on it myself. Other than utterly routine stuff, Ive done virtually nothing to this car. Even the routine repairs may well be more due to my driving style than defects in the car. As a matter of fact, I think Im still using the original batter on the thing. This has been a super car in almost every way that matters.

  • Fun Car, Has Everything I Wanted - 2004 Suzuki Aerio

    This little car has everything I wanted including power. If I was to improve it I would reduce the power a bit and try to get a bit better gas mileage. I can fit all the camping gear, bikes and freinds I want into it. Im now hauling my new Kayak on top and it has worked out great. I love this car.

  • My Suzuki Areio SX - 2004 Suzuki Aerio

    Purchased the vehicle to replace a 9 yr old four door sedan and that had past its usefulness My wife fell in love with the SX. We purchased the vehilce in Memphis Tn and drove it to Las Vegas, Nv where we retired. the ride accross country was uneventful and we got 32mpg which was terrific. The handling is more than expected from a small car.

  • Suzuki, Im Impressed!!! - 2004 Suzuki Aerio

    This vehicle has fantastic bang for the buck! The Aerio SX comes fully loaded - - options that cost extra on the Toyota and Mazda cars. The Aerio is a fun to drive, reliable, economical vehicle -- offering room for 4 full size adults (5 in a pinch). Ive had many people ask me about this car... its sporty and functional.

  • Midsize Manners - 2004 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    A significant improvement over the 2000 Esteem which I traded in. So far: 7000 smooth, fun/peppy, trouble-free miles. As smooth as a Camry and quieter than a Civic sedan on highway. Solid handling even in inclement weather. Handling in high gusty wind is manageble and not troublesome. I have the off-white pearl color which hides dirt well. So far, no paint issues. Stereo is hi-fi quality, not sizzly/boomy. AC cooling is adequate. Engine tends to ping in hot weather (85% plus) under load conditions (hills with AC on, or steep hills in general). 89 Octane alleviates problem. Otherwise runs fine on 87 octane. Why are the critics so down on this car? I wonder if theyve actually driven the sedan

    Great little car, probably the best I have ever owned. It has great performance and is fun to drive. It is also very reliable. Only problem is that it could use a little more leg room in the front.
