Young working woman's view: It's the warranty, stupid. That sums up the main reason I would buy the Verona. Certainly, it is priced well, but it's only a bargain if you can use it and a car that costs you money in repair bills is not a bargain. The point is that Suzuki's 7-year/100,000-mile warranty that is fully transferable, and the tremendous deals that are being offered make the Verona very difficult to ignore. Overall, you have just one tough choice to make. Do I buy a good used car and take my financial chances on its condition, or do I order a new Verona just the way I want it for the same money? Personally, I love the look of the Verona and can accept its power limitations for the security blanket the warranty offers. The only turn off I had while testing the car was the horde of salesman waiting to pounce at the dealership. I think Suzuki needs to take some selling lessons from Infiniti and Lexus.
Overall, the Verona S has a lot to offer for the price. It has a spacious interior and cargo room and lots of standard features. The practical side to the Verona is thus very hard to ignore and when you throw in the back seats that fold down, steering wheel auxiliary controls, easy to reach controls, and a gentle ride you are going to find that Suzuki has made itself a player.
