2005 Suzuki Aerio Fastback SX

For 2005, Suzuki refreshed their compact car offering on the Canadian market. The Aerio came into the picture in 2002, replacing the un-appreciated Esteem. At the time, Suzuki desperately needed a breath of fresh air in its line-up. So, with a powerful 2.0L engine, reasonable pricing, available hatchback models and all-wheel-drive, the Aerio came to town and quickly made the few Suzuki dealers forget about their troubles for a little while. To keep the package fresh, Suzuki changed or bettered something every year: horsepower increases, new wheels, new engine and, this year, a facelift. The price range for all Aerios is between 18 995$ and 23 995$. The version I tested was a Fastback SX AWD that retails for 23 995$.
