  Pleasantly surprised with the acceleration and comfort of this vehicle. Priced several models in this category and got the best value and features for the money.

  A hidden gem - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By Brian Defferding - July 12 - 4:00 pm

  Suzuki Aerios are like the perfect secret. Its a little seen car that will last forever and is a blast to drive. It has plenty of headroom (something other Japanese cars like Hondas and Toyotas sometimes lack), has a spunky engine, performs well in winter. I drive my Aerio around to conventions all around the midwest, racked up tons of miles and any repairs it needs is routine maintainence and oil changes. And the best part - they are totally affordable! I bought mine used at 52,000 miles for $7,500. If you discover this hidden gem for sale, buy it!

  Suzuki Aerio 2002 GS - 2002 Suzuki Aerio

  Pretty cheap car to buy bought one for $1400 with 95k miles, currently has 98k miles. Pretty good starter car if you can invest the money in it to keep it running. For example: a person who cant consistently pay a car payment ontop of full coverage insurance but can afford to save up money and eventually fix stuff. Car is pretty peppy so I dont know what other people are talking about on the car not having pep. Also seems to get pretty good gas mileage. Hwy it averages about 35mpg city, I havent really measured.

  solid Jap sub-compact - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By rr - December 24 - 2:00 am

  i like this most popular sub-compact (in Japan 2002-03) Japanese car though it isnt a real sporty car. The design and the material quality stand well after a year and a half. I drove it to Vegas twice. The car is also my daily working transportation. So far except routing oil changes, i have no other expenses yet. However, the rim and tires can be enlarged one standard higher. The aired suspension can be improved if the sporty feature isnt upgraded in the future...Suzuki should changes its marketing strategy, and more aggressively competes with other top brand names.

  I love this car! - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By Bill D. - December 23 - 10:00 am

  I saw the Aerio for the first time at the NY Auto Show and was impressed. I bought one and love it. It has good power, handling, general performance. The winshield, and side glass provide a lot of visibility, but that means a lot of eye strain from light as well as the heat from the sun. Also, the LCD display on the radio is hard to see in direct sun. Ive gotten many positive comments about the car and my teenage son likes it too. Id recommend the car to anyone looking for a sporty, affordable, small wagon.

  Nice Little Car - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By robarr - November 18 - 10:00 am

  I love my Aerio. Although it has had a few problems that the dealership could not fix. So now Im stuck with a car that hummmms when I step on the gas and when I come to an idle a rattling sound comes from the front of the car. Very disappointed with the dealerships mechanics and i now have to take the car which is still under warranty to my mechanic and pay out of my pocket. Thanks for nothing Suzuki Techs!

  a SUV view in a compact car - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By Gerrix - November 10 - 10:00 am

  Its been a week that I test drive this Sedan and so far its a joy. The riding is smooth and quiet at legal speeds. The engine is a bit noisier when pushed but fortunately it doesnt need to be often. The high seating position is probably the most specific feature of this car. Only the Matrix/Vibe can compare in this segment. With this feature, you have a great view of the road and its very easy to get in and out of the car. The digital dash is a surprise, but I learned to love it for its accuracy and its visibility.

  Roomy, stylish, and built well - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By johnny sexton - September 22 - 10:00 am

  As the owner of a 1996 Suzuki Swift with 144,000 miles on it, (and not a day in the shop) I know how well built Suzuki cars are. But I didnt think they could ever come up with a sporty,stylish car. But they have. I love my new Aerio, it gives a great ride,and has excelent acceleration. The seats are a little spartanesque, but extremely supportive. I am sure in 144,000 miles, I will love it as much as my Swift. Suzuki has finally gone mainstream. By the way, Im keeping my Swift also.

  smokin - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By crazy canuk - September 17 - 10:00 am

  i ninitially was looking at the grand vitara-but once i stepped into the aerio i was prey to the mesh seats and doors-i know style/quality when i see it. i didnt even test drive it-i let my intuition do the deciding. i luv the seats the best- there thick, supportive and make driving enjoyable! as with any 4 cylinder though-acceleration is loud until you reach cruising. its preety quiet on the highway-much quieter than my dads $50,000 suv.

  Drove alot in one year - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
  By one_aerio - August 18 - 2:00 am

  The car so far has been great. It is comfortable for long commute and easy to maneuver. An added bonus is plenty of space. Presently at 34000 miles there has been a steady increase of build noise. Panel fasteners have begun to make themselves known. Furthermore, if the rear windows are open while the front windows are up the buffeting of the wind will shake the rear doors. Good car for the price.
