Overview & Reviews

As the Aerio is a recent introduction to the market, there aren't that many changes for 2003. Suzuki has bumped the horsepower up by four to 145 and nudged the torque up one pound-foot to 135. Other additions include integrated cruise control buttons on the steering wheel, a three-point seatbelt and headrest for rear center seat and a new cloth design. The GS and SX models drop the rear-seat armrest, get a six-disc in-dash CD player and have the optional all-wheel-drive available.

• Wagon-body style, available all-wheel drive, affordable price, large interior, powerful standard engine.

• Strange interior design, missing some key features.

  Fun & Inexspensive - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By KingPenguin - September 23 - 10:00 am

  Our 20 yr old daughter bought our Aerio SX, I her father has ended up driving it just as much as she has. In town, short trips it is wonderful, fun to drive good on gas milage for a 4 banger, and a real looker of a car. Long distance is were is falls some, a little noice do to engine haveing to work but for High Schooler or College kid, or as a second car, this is a great choice and the warrenty cant be beat. Hats off to Suzuki for a great little car.

  new review - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By Veronica2 - September 20 - 2:00 am

  Overall the vehicle is pleasant to drive, quiet and responsive. The 6- disc, 6 speaker cd player is great but causes the door panels to vibrate when loud or when bass is at optimum level. The back lit feature on the player is not a plus as it washes out in sunlight.

  Happy Aerio Owner - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By Pastor tom - April 20 - 3:16 am

  This car is a joy to drive. It has handling on the highways I drive that is comporable to the European cars I have owned in the past. It has plenty of get up and go, the gas mileage is not as good as my Swifts was, but it doesnt do badly at all. I get about 32 miles per gallon on highway. I live in the desert and I drive the state highway all the time. I do not do any city driving at any length. I have had no repairs done except for scheduled maintenance. I now have had nearly 50,000 miles of touble free driving, which is very important in the middle of the CA desert.

  Incredibly reliable experience - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By Ron - April 1 - 6:20 pm

  We bought this Suzuki as a commute vehicle for my wife. Its simply been an incredible experience, as the car has been not only a lot of fun to drive, but it has been reliable beyond all expectations. With only normal dealer maintenance service, we have not had a single mechanical problem. As a huge bonus, the handling, braking, steering, and utility have all been enjoyed and utilized a tremendous amount.

  Kooky looks, but proves itself. - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By maxandcassiesdad - February 12 - 10:03 am

  I picked this car up with 87,000 on it. It was cheap, and I needed a second car, that was small, economical, and a hatchback. We take our Shepherd and Boxer with us, ALOT!. I didnt give too much thought to it when I found it, except that it was in good shape, was a hatchback, and had a/c (we live in Florida). To my surprise, Ive found this little car to be a real trooper. Strange looking, yes, and it does garner strange looks from passer-bys, but, the fold down rear seats, high roof line and enormous front doors have been much appreciated. We are not small people, Im 6, partner is 64", and getting in and out is a breeze. Headroom is fantastic. Its been very reliable too. Good bargain.

  A Life Saver - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By becky03 - February 2 - 12:45 am

  I have been hit by 13 deer while driving this car. It has had its front bumper. hood and either fender replaced atleast 8-9 times. A racoon took out the front bumper once...The body could be of better material. The rest inside and out is original. After all this I have not been hurt and it is still running. 200,000 miles and all I have done is changed the oil regularly, the occasional alignment, new tires and just had the radiator flushed. Drove it 1800 miles to see family and am driving it back those 1800 miles. I expect to get another 100,000 miles.

  Aerio SX, best in class - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By adnizzle - January 18 - 9:50 pm

  I got my 2003 Suzuki Aerio three weeks ago and so far its a beauty. By looking at all the other high reviews for it, that doesnt seem to change as time goes on. It is a great, reliable car...in my opinion best in its class.

  Best Buy - 2003 Suzuki Aerio
  By PromoGirl - January 15 - 2:00 am

  I drove a Honda Accord, followed by an Olds Alero (CRAP), and this is by far the best price, and most comfortable. Great visibility, large windows, and lots of energy. First car Ive had without power locks and a sun roof, and dont miss them at all. This car is way too much fun! And there arent too many of them on the road.
