  Value with Extras and Power - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By FJG - December 30 - 5:10 pm

  This was my first Suzuki purchase and it was a good choice. The car has ample room, comfort and offers good performance. Its 155 horsepower delivers over 30 mpg in combined city/hwy driving. I have owned it for six months and had zero issues.

  Dirt Road Commuter - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By Robin - September 28 - 11:50 am

  I almost bought a Subaru RS instead of my Suzuki Aerio. Im glad that I didnt. I saved a bucket of cash and now own the best mountain dirt road long distance commuter Ive ever had. I am still in the honeymoon stage though. Give me some time to be more objective.

  Enjoying the Suzuki Aerio Premium AWD - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By Hazel - June 12 - 12:26 pm

  The Suzuki Aerio Premium AWD is a winner. It has been navigating icy roads and hills with ease. It has good acceleration and stopping power which I consider important for safety. All of my family members love it. The trunk has a wide opening and plenty of room for an oversize stroller and lots of other items. It is getting good gas mileage, too.

  Bring Back The Aerio - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By UW2012 - May 15 - 4:50 pm

  My Aerio has been a great car, bought it new, only 5 miles on it. Some initial buzzing in door panels, but dealership fixed that right away, just tightned some nuts. Gas MPGs started out low but kept improving with more miles. Now gets 25 city if I drive reasonably and as high as 41.5 mpg hwy with avg hwy mpgs around 33 mpg. Storage capacity is outstanding, specially with the back seats down. Only 1 warranty claim so far, the water pump bearing, and the dealership treated me like royalty, free loaner car and fantastic attitude. I constantly get compliments on the looks of the car interior. Has its minor quirks just as all cars do but none of them are serious. I recommend it to anyone!

  Could have been better - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By Bandguy - March 26 - 10:43 am

  While it is fun to drive, the sound system needs upgrade in speaker placement and sound quality. The cup holders in the front only hold a 12 oz can securely. Anything else will spill all over when accelerating or braking. The seats are comfortable even over long distances. Im very disappointed with the gas mileage. Im getting only 22 mpg. A little car like this should get more like 30 mpg. Perhaps a larger fuel tank so it will go farther. The new Camaro gets better mileage. Cargo area is excellent and the area under the floor is very convenient.

  Love My Car - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By Karen V. - December 1 - 5:46 am

  This car is a blast to drive. I have doubled my driving distance since buying this car because it is so much fun to drive. I find I drive it a little to fast but I love to drive it fast. Im 63 and would recommend this car to any age. Such a shame they didnt do better advertising on this car, it would have out sold a lot of other cars if it had gotten more air time. The only car I have ever owned that I loved as much as this one was my 1961 Red Austin Healy. My SX is red not as fast as fast as the Austin Healy but just as much fun to drive!

  A VIC to an AERIO - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By Motorhead73 - October 27 - 5:56 am

  I LOVE the AERIO. The couch in a boat(crown Vic) was scary driving on wet roads and the weight was great for coasting. The security the Aerio has provided is the biggest seller for me. It hugs the road and grabs the corners without any sway. The control of the front end with the Aerio sets the ice fear to the back burner. The power on the 2 uphill climbs over looking a steep cliff makes me feel !!!! The seat wraps around you like a race car seat for secure fit in a drive of great head and arm room with two people in the front, I the larger lovebug and I do NOT feel crunched in any way. Like sitting in a chair, sliding across the seat for entry (not a drop to the floor)

  Love It! - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By driver - August 31 - 12:40 pm

  So far, this car has been great. We average 30 mpg. We are older, and very tall people and find the comfort and convenience all that we can ask for in this inexpensive car.

  Great value for the money - 2006 Suzuki Aerio
  By vasu m - May 2 - 4:36 am

  Everything in my Suzuki Aerio seem to be of good quality for a vehicle in this price range, including the audio. The dash plastics seem to have been upgraded in the 2006 model to be semi-soft. The tires pick up a bit of road noise - probably replacements will help. It is a bit narrow compared to its peers (especially the MINI Cooper and Scion Xa) and the track is actually less than the width. Thus the Scion and Cooper exhibit a bit less roll and slightly better handling, but the engine and wealth of features make the Aerio a much better choice in its class.
