  My 08 Reno - 2008 Suzuki Reno
  By Keair - September 13 - 2:53 am

  I just bought my 08 Reno a few days ago, and so far Im very impressed with its performance and ride quality. MPG arent too bad, but they could be a little better. For about 20-25 dollars you could expect to ride for a pretty good bit on a full tank. Thats pretty good compared to a much bigger vehicle. My roommate has a minivan, and that take anywhere from thirty to forty dollars to fill up, and gas doesnt last half as long as it does in mine. Im 24, and this is my very first vehicle, and so far Im very happy, and well satisfied with my purchase.

  Great Buy - 2008 Suzuki Reno
  By Tony - February 2 - 4:43 am

  I bought this 08 Reno with 2,400 miles on it. Its my ride from home to work and back. This is the first small car that I have ever owned. I traded in my 98 Lumina (168k miles)and $5400 cash and drove it off the lot. So many of the reviews have been less than complimentary, but as an owner, I think this is a great little car. 3 year/36k mile bumper to bumper, a 100k powertrain warranty, and 24 hour roadside assistance. I dont like the fact there arent many dealerships around for service concerns, but I have only had one issue with the airbag light staying on all the time. Remember that you get what you pay for. I bought a 4-cylinder automatic. I dont expect to keep up with a Vette!

  Good car for the price with a good warranty. Comfortable, good looking. Lots of base price features. Its zippy, quiet, and rides well.

  fun small car - 2008 Suzuki Reno
  By rc - December 31 - 2:33 pm

  We bought this car with a sonata in mind but the price point was to much to pass up. Its peppy and quick for such a small engine. Plan to put on wheels, Cruise, tint and keyless with an alarm. Love it get lots of second looks in the parking lots. Put on a coat of turtle wax ice and it looks great. Only problem was pass seat airbag light but was resolved in one visit. 12k out the door cash and we are really happy with it! Lots of room for a small car and with some things like new wheels and tires maybe springs it will handle even better. Also try a k&n airfilter it will bump up the hp and gas mileage! Had a Suzuki motorcycle and this lives up to the name!

  Better than experts say it is - 2008 Suzuki Reno
  By Don - August 27 - 2:20 am

  I just purchased this vehicle but thought it odd there were no reviews from users on this vehicle (expert reviews are unkind). It truly is a bargain and drove every bit as well as a Ford Focus. Yes it is basic but for $240 a month for 60 months and 0 down how can you go wrong especially with the warranty this manufacturer offers. We all are facing some realities with gas prices escalating and while the given mileage specs arent overly impressive most people are getting better than posted mileage. The interior is very nice a pleasent surprise This is the first time I have considered a compact car and I will be ok with this. I didnt feel silly in it and the Suzuki moniker adds intrigue
