I just got one a few weeks ago bob. Surprising sportiness for it's size, great mpg, but not so good in windy conditions. This will be my first winter in it so i'll see if it's a cold weather warrior like my Altima was.
@@justinbig10 Wonder if the handling of the sedan SX4 sport is better . When I drove the manual hatch SX4 I wasn't impressed . The sedan SX4 has a better - firmer - suspension plus less wind resistance so it should be better ... but I am curious if it's better than a sedan AERIO
@@MircomFan I waxed mine and it looked great again. But the timing belt fell of and she has been crushed. This happened after only 146k, literally being driven it's entire life by a lady in her 60s, with 3k synthetic oil changes from new. Check your timing chain before it's too late!!! It gave us no signs, wouldn't want this to happen to you! The head literally stripped off of the block, it was insane and heart breaking.
toyoscio having had one brand new, and kept it for over ten years, I can honestly say we changed the oil regular, battery every couple years. The ONLY repair I did that wasn’t standard maintenance, is wheel bearings. They went bad on both cars. That’s it though. Cheap little gas sipper. Bonus fact: with the wheel base, and turn radius, you can turn around in a street where other cars require a three point turn
Shane Ellis. That's really good you have had good luck with yours. I would think with Suzuki no longer selling cars in NA, some parts would be hard to come by.
Bought this as a 2006 4 door AWD in 2010 with 32k miles. Still have it, had to replace water pump and A/C part (A/C part was ordered from Japan) but the car still runs great. Will cross 125k miles next week, gonna try for 200k in it 😃
Hey could you do me a favor, tell what the positive battery terminal looks like. Someone broke into my car and stole the battery. They clipped the terminals in the process and I'm having a hard time finding what the positive battery terminal looks like. Does it have a fuse or is itjust a straight terminal under a red cover?

Agreed, bought mine in 2015, my first car as well. Still have it and runs great

Selling mine tomorrow, it wad my first car 4 years ago. Gorgeous red hatchback ❤ I'll miss it
Wow! This car used to be so beautiful when it was new. Mine is all faded and hazy now. 😂
Mine is still super beautiful, it has a nice pearl blue finish that hasn't faded at all

I’m on my second Aerio. I love these cars
Are they reliable and easy to maintain?

toyoscio if you think about it, Scion, Saturn, Buick, Pontiac no longer exist, and parts are still plentiful.
Shane Ellis. Very true, though it helps that the parent companies still sell in the US :}
