Looking for something to replace my gas guzzling SUV and the suzuki Aerio has caught my eye. Took a drive in one and it was'nt to bad.

What the general opinion on Suzuki autos???

hey, meat man, here is a link to some photos of my ZOOK. I love my Suzuki, this is the third one i have owned. It's small but is a great hunting rig.

I rented a Vitara (or however they're spelled) in Las Vegas one time.  I was impressed -- they actually put THREE squirrels under the hood.

I've heard that Suzuki has the lowest customer-satisfaction rating of any automaker.  Although the rental didn't break down or blow up, I was disappointed with it.

Well,that's because they have very little car products,until recently.I like the look and ideas of the new Suzuki cars,but here's what I have to say,I got one of thier bikes,and Suzuki does make the best motorcycles in the world,and that's the truth.I don't see why the cars would be different.

i spent the summer before last making numerous trips to kalifornistan, and since i was spending someone else's money, i always went with the cheapest rentals.

in the ultracheap class, i was most impressed with the suzuki. tight handling and a slightly peppy engine. waaaay better than the chevy cavalier that i got one time - total POS - the design of the instrument panel actually made me laugh, and the handlign and pickup were atrocious. (fully tested on mountain roads.)

Don't own one bu I am impressed with them.  Their subsidiary makes a lot of cars and SUVs and vans in India, and they are tough (have to be in that environment).  Also Suzuki made/makes some of the Chevy Geo cars (like the Tracker).  I'd own a Vitara, just wish it had a better name.

i had a grand vitara as a rental for about 10 days. i was VERY impressed with it. actually felt on par with my 2000 Discovery (no im serious) good power, smooth ride, quiet interior and the fit and finish made me feel like i was in a toyota.

Believe it or not there is a thriveing market out there for Samurai stuff. There are several companies that specialize in making aftermarket items for Zooks. There is even a national club and there is a local club here in Idaho.
The falcons i use for killing ducks and pheasants(for the big falcons) and doves and quail with the small falcons.

I've got an 86 Samurai and I love it.  My brother and father also each own one.  Mine's an 86.  I just put on the Weber carb and today I'm putting on a header and an EZ-locker in the rear end.  They are great little trail trucks for the Colorado mountains.  I still have to get a spring over and gears for it.  My brother has tons of stuff done to his.  Gust go to izook.com and you can find all the aftermarket stuff you want.
