Current Suzuki Reno

The Suzuki Reno debuted for the 2005 model year. With its emphasis on value, the Reno's long list of standard features quickly takes center stage. Many modern compact cars come standard with power door locks and windows, a tilt wheel and other convenience features, but the Reno goes a little further by offering such features as a micron air-filtration system for the cabin, a four-speaker CD stereo with MP3 capability and a height- and lumbar-adjustable driver seat -- all without checking a single box on the options list.

Clearly the car is an excellent value, even more so if you're looking for an affordable used car. Still, "excellent value" doesn't exactly bring to mind comfort or power. While the EX trim level is loaded and includes features like leather seats, remote keyless entry and cruise control, the Reno in any trim offers barely adequate performance, particularly in the acceleration department, with the Reno's subpar fuel economy adding insult to injury. Handling is also less than spectacular, as Suzuki has endowed the Reno with a soft, smooth ride at the expense of cornering ability. However, this is a trade-off that the average consumer will likely appreciate.

Because the 127-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is working so hard to keep up, a good deal of engine noise makes its way into the cabin. Competitors like the Mazda 3 are more refined and quicker by comparison.

The Reno's interior comes up short as well when compared to other domestic and import-branded small cars. The materials are low quality, and many panels simply don't fit correctly. Though the Reno's long powertrain warranty is a bonus, it's not really enough to overcome the car's faults. We suggest that shoppers looking for an inexpensive hatchback skip the Reno and check out more viable choices.

The Suzuki Reno has undergone a few changes since its '05 debut. 2006 brought the addition of a standard tilt steering wheel and new seat fabrics, while '07 saw the inclusion of a standard tire pressure monitoring system for all trim levels. Unfortunately for audiophiles, the formerly standard eight-speaker stereo was dropped altogether for '08, leaving a meager four-speaker unit in its stead.

May 14, 2007 by ray | Posted in Suzuki

are these good choice cars?

NO! especially the 05/06 models. they had big computer problems that made the car really hard to start in the morning. i doubt it was fixed for the new ones. on top of that they are just cheap and crappy.

What can I do to get more preformance out of my 07 suzuki reno?

Nov 22, 2007 by rolf | Posted in Suzuki

Such as horsepower,better top speed,and what web sites can I look at.

Suzuki Reno is a good little economy car, and does what it's designed to do: transport you and some luggage/friends with good economy and reasonable performance.

If you want high performance, you need a car designed as such, like a Cobalt SS, VW GTI, or something like that.

However I'm sure the information you're looking for is out there. Your car goes by several different names around the world:

Buick Excelle (China)
Buick Excelle HRV (China)
Chevrolet Lacetti (Europe)
Chevrolet Nubira (Europe)
Chevrolet Optra (Canada, Mexico, Japan, Pac. Islands, India)
Chevrolet SRV (India)
Daewoo Lacetti (Korea)
Holden Viva (Australia)
Suzuki Forenza (USA)
Suzuki Reno (USA)

Search those names and see what you come up with!

Good luck.

Is the 2007 Suzuki Reno a good buy?

Am I heading down a bad road with the purchase of a brand new 2007 Suzuki Reno?

Yes, you are heading down a bad road with the purchase of a brand new 2007 Suzuki Reno.

I would suggest alternatives such as Toyota Yaris, Toyota Matrix, Scion tC, Scion xB, Honda Fit, and Honda Civic within that price range.

Don't ever consider a car like Suzuki no matter how tempting it might be.
