  Great little wagon - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By Cindy - April 25 - 3:53 pm

  I have had my 2000 Esteem for over 5 years and have had no problems with it. I had the brakes replaced in 2005 but nothing else other than normal oil and filter changes have had to be done. I do not drive as much as most people but with over 76000 now on it I am still not finding that there is a problem. The back seat has been able to sit three kids on a regular basis even though two of them have been adult sized or nearly so. We do not take it long distances and I am sure that would get old with everyone in it but for distances up to an hour this car does fine even with my sons who are 6 tall sitting in the back seat. Fuel economy has a large range but it gets no less than 25 MPG.

  Not a bad car - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By Sohcahtoa - November 29 - 10:00 am

  Bought this car in Jan 2003 for $7000, it had only 1,300 miles on it. Ive been very pleased with it. Only problem I had was the catalitic converter dying on me, but I think that was self-inflicted by hitting a speed bump really hard, but warranty still covered it. Sticker said 26 mpg city/33 mpg highway, but I actually get 28/35.

  best car for the buck - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By jaeckert - September 9 - 2:00 am

  Purchased 6/2/2000 and I will not part with it. Power is good as sea level BUT could be better in the mountains. (USE 91 OCTANE IN THE MOUNTAINS) Mileage runs about 24 street and 35 in freeways. Handles very well and is stable at all speeds and rides like a larger car.

  Hats of to Suzuki! - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By dalemccarty_17 - April 28 - 2:00 am

  I had my car for a little under a month now and I still like it. The only problem that I have had with it was a flat tire at the dealership, that has nothing to do with the cars reliability, tires go flat on every vehicle out there. It is a good first time car, my first car, (when I was in 10 grade) was a 1991 GMC Jimmy 4x4 4dr. I DO NOT recomend this truck, it was sopposed to have 4x4, ABS, and electric windows, guess what, the 4x4 never locked in, the ABS didnt work (I had some close calls that would have not be close if i had ABS), and the windows would slowly go down, and not go up.

  2000 Esteem GLX Wagon - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By chaser - October 24 - 6:06 pm

  Since I purchased my Esteem Wagon in July of 2001, I have had one problem. About a week after I purchsed it (it had only 10k miles), the passenger seid front brake pad "de-laminated" itself from the mounting surface. The dealer covered it under warranty and not one thing has gone wrong with the car. Although it has a propensity for blowing brakelights. I have put 12K miles on the car since purchase and it has been a pleasure. Better than any US brand I have owned in the last 10 years.

  Good buy - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By pmohan - April 7 - 10:00 am

  Bought it second hand from the dealer- one year old with 20K for $6000.00. Have been pleasantly surprised- very nifty, tight in cornering and excellent fuel use (>30 mpg/gallon). Love the room at the back with seats folded. No mechanical problems yet !

  Good little car - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By Great little - January 13 - 8:13 am

  It has been a great little car. I know I was not getting a sports car but for what it is I love it. I have taken it on a few long trip and have had no problems. I think the clutch is going out but that is the only thing that has happened. I have driven it like a teenage. I have not been the nicest to it but it still runs great.

  2000 Esteem Wagon 1.8, Great Car - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By rd400f - November 8 - 5:47 pm

  We bought our Esteem in 1999 but its an 2000 GLX model. I got the car since my father passed away 6 years ago and now in 2013, it still runs like a champ. I did the brakes pads once and then later on got some aftermarket drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads and new shoes and drums for the back. In all these 13+ years the car has never broke down on the road but once it didnt start in the garage. it was just the CMP sensor and thats about a 15 minute job for this car. Replaced the Idle Control Valve once, alternator and the struts and besides the regular wear items, tires, battery, belt, It keeps on going. My A/C never had problems since new and always blows cold.

  Suzuki 2000 Esteem Wagon - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By Rich - October 27 - 5:33 am

  Only general maintenance since purchased 4 yrs ago. Will look to purchase another Suzuki in the future. Only drawback is the limited room in the front driver side. Seats are a bit low for someone under 6 feet, but some added car seat covers helped to correct this flaw while protecting the front seats. No problems with exterior to this point, no rust visible anywhere.

  Good Cheap Car - 2000 Suzuki Esteem
  By craigch8 - October 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 2000 Esteem sedan with 30K miles for $5500. What a buy! This is a solid little car that is fun to drive and costs very little to operate (30+ mpg). It has a very roomy interior, and a good sized trunk. The engines performance is good, however it strains occasionally when climbing steep hills. It cruises at high speeds rather easily and has good short range acceleration. Overall, this model is a great car for the money.
