  I Love this Car - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By parul - March 8 - 7:36 pm

  The Suzuki Reno is a perfect car for students, couples and singles. If you are in the market for a coupe...go for this one. It looks neat and small, but its actually spacious inside has more room for tall people. It is very smooth. You dont even feel it when you are going 80 miles an hour. Its brakes are good. What else do you need in a vehicle that costs less than $15,000. Rather then buying a used vehicle, buy a Suzuki Reno.

  The Reno is Excellent - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By nonie - March 5 - 1:20 am

  I own a 2006 Suzuki Reno and Im very happy with its performance. Im lovinit. It comes standard with a ton of features for the price and I must say that it is a great value. It looks beautiful from both the inside and outside. It runs better than a Honda Civic. Its so smooooooooooooooooooooth, you gotta drive it to feel that. If you dont want to take my word for it, go out and give it a try. Im sure youll thank me.

  Call This a "Bug"gy - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By knoxvilledavid - December 17 - 6:10 am

  The Reno is a great car if you like getting 20 mpg around town, and cranking the engine multiple times to get her started. I had to crank my 06 two dozen times once trying to go home from work for an appointment. Add to that several trips for service every few days for nine months while Suzukis "engineers" worked out a "fix." The "fix" should have been to give me a full refund of my money!

  A great overlooked runabout - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By Ev - November 26 - 6:36 am

  Its easy to miss the Suzuki Reno. It is overshadowed by the heavily promoted Scions, Toyotas and Hondas, little Suzuki is well, little known. I hadnt heard of the Reno until I saw one at the auto show, and was immediatly drawn to it. After an hour of test driving it, the Reno sits in front of my apartment. Aside from the obsurity of the car, what really sets the Reno apart is the amazing level of standard equipmet. My base model came with side airbags, power windows, locks and mirrors, steering assist, 8 speaker am/fm/cd/tape, and of course the European insired hatch design. My only complaint is the gas mileage is not up to the standards of the class (see Honda Fit, Scion xA, etc).

  Pretty Fun Little Car so Far - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By SMR - November 11 - 6:23 am

  So I have only had my 2006 Suzuki Reno for about two weeks but it has been pretty impresive for the money. Lets face it, its a cheap mode of transport. But its got some class thats for sure. I think the Italian design really helps. To me it looks better than cars out there that cost twice as much. Its very European looking. It could be that the car is actually a Holden Viva from Australia which was basically rebadged as a Suzuki. Overall I have been quite impressed by this stylish little guy. If you like the little European cars (like I do), then you wont be dissapointed. Test drive one and I think you will see what I mean.

  The worst car ever! - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By Jena - November 1 - 1:26 am

  I purchased my vehicle in 2007. I hate it. It only has 3,000. miles on it. My transmission is failing, the air bag light is on, and engine light is on too. I called Suzuki to help me. But I have to pay for everything to see whats wrong and most thing arent covered. It doesnt start always. I have 2 children and i am unemployed at this time. They told me that only interior thing are covered under warranty until 100,000 miles. The transmission is not shifting right and it jerks when it shifts. Gas not so good. I called corporate and they couldnt help me either. Not worth the money. Too many problems. And its not only me. What should I do.

  Piece of junk - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By Ed - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I purchased this car in 2006. Since then its been in the shop at least 6 times. Ive had major issues with the transmission sensor. When the sensor goes bad the car does not move. I was driving this car to work at the speed limit of 50, then I had to stop for a light, when I was taking off the check engine light came on and the car had almost no power. If I knew then what I know now I would have opted for a better car. I would never purchase another Suzuki. I guess you get what you pay for. Oh and getting rid of it is much more difficult considering its worthless.

  So far - so good - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By BK - January 16 - 2:53 am

  We have 30,000 miles on our Reno and have not had it in the shop yet. It starts easily and is pretty good on fuel. I drive 40 miles round trip to work and run a few errands around town in it. It is a manual 5 speed and we average 35 miles per gallon consistantly around town. The air is pretty weak and living in Florida can be a bit frustrating. Overall, we have been pleased but we are holding our breath. We also owned a Suzuki Verona at the same time that was a nightmare - we finally got rid of it, thank God.

  2006 Suzuki Reno - 2006 Suzuki Reno
  By dora5 - July 17 - 7:40 am

  I purchased my car in 2011 at 48,000 miles, and the biggest problem is that it isnt good on gas. Also, I was told by a mechanic at a a Goodyear Service Center two days ago that I might need struts, rack and pinion work and rods!!! Even though the car was given a clean bill of health just six months ago, and only has 52,000 miles on it. Today, I went to the Suzuki authorized service center and they said I dont need anything but an alignment and new wipers. They thought the struts where getting dry, but not a problem. Seems to me Goodyear wanted to make a little money. To be safe, I am taking it to a third shop just in case. Luckily, I purchased an extended warranty.
