  • Practical Fun - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    Purchaced the Aerio one week ago. Very sporty car with lots of internal storage and space. Handling is a little wobbly, probably due to the height and light steering. Transmission shifts very well and the cockpit is remarkably quiet. Have found some vibrations when going over bumps, that I will need to get fixed.

  • Buy the Toyota Echo instead - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    I have become a career test driver. In the past two (2) weeks, I have test drove at least 5 or 6 cars. The Aerio is by far the least impressive of the whole bunch.

    The handling was pretty good, but the car is just ugly and, if ugly is what you seek, I would recommend the Toyota Echo.

    The salesperson acted like he knew I wouldnt like the car and thats why he didnt try to sell me on the car. Its sad when your own salespeople dont believe in the product.

  • Its not your yellow sub its mine - 2002 Suzuki Aerio

    I bought my first Suz. on looks and the nice storage bins in back. It also came with a nice diaper pale "wash bucket" as some say. The back is also the right height for a changing table. I am the only yellow Aerio SX in 4 counties. I have so many people just stop and go what is that. My mileage is about 25-30 depending on air. Solid car Solid dealer. I also had the dealer spice up the interior with the optional brushed aluminum over the glove box, around the stereo, and around the instruments.

    It is a fun car to drive, has alot of power for the cars in its class. I have yet to see alot of aftermarket parts, but im sure there soon to come. There is alot of room, Im 64" and i fit in this car pretty good. The resale value is not that good, but its not a civic.

  • Love this car - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    Bought this car because I really like the way it drove. Very comfortable, quick response, roomy. At the time I really wanted a Chevy Monte Carlo, but when I test drove it, I decided on the Aerio. Much more room! I have had this car for 4 years and have no complaints, no problems! Its a great car.

  • AERIO - Excellent value for the money - 2002 Suzuki Aerio

    Good acceleration and breaking (ABS). Power steering is effortless without being too sensitive. Relatively high sitting position. Plenty of interior space. A lot of fun to drive !

  • My Yellow Submarine.... - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    Ive only had my car two months- but its been a great "ride" so far. Im finally getting used to the stares that my "yellow sub" gets. I love all of the standard equipment and the power that the engine has. I wish it got better mileage (appx 25 mpg mostly highway), but I guess if you want "pep" something has to give. It feels very stable on the road and seems well built. I cant wait to several years of fun with this car.

  • Aerio SX YAY! - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    The 2002 Suzuki Aerio SX was the best car I have ever had. I would give it an 11 on a scale from 1 to 10. Its sporty and fun to look at as well as to drive. It has tons of storage, and kept me safe in an accident. I love this car!

  • Great Car - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    This is the best car purchase i have ever made. Alot better then my 2001 Mercury cougar That was a piece of junk, nothing but problems with that car. But as for the Aerio, A must buy for any one! 10 Thumbs up!!!!! The Aerio is alot of fun to drive and quick for a 4banger. It gets alot of looks and thumbs up. Every one likes it that sees it.

  • A good car that could be better - 2002 Suzuki Aerio
    By -

    Engine is powerful, but loses luster with AC on. Automatic transmission shifts well. Brakes are generally good, but tend to lock up on wet roads without ABS. Stereo is good. Standard tires on the S are low grade. Handling is stable, steering feel is about right. Interior is spacious in front and back, seats are very comfortable, seating position is tall and provides great forward visibility. However, rear visibility is poor because of a very high rear end. Trunk is huge. Side mirrors are large and folding. The S has power windows, but not power locks. The car is distinctive looking, but side and rear extensions make tires look small and the car look overweight and ungainly.
