  2004 SUZUKI Verona
New for 2004, the Suzuki Verona combines European design, a superior level of standard features and the only standard in-line, six-cylinder engine in its class with an MSRP starting at $16,499 and America's #1 Warranty to deliver the best value in the midsize segment.
The Verona joins the all-new 2004 Forenza premium compact sedan as the first of nine new value-packed vehicles Suzuki will launch in the next five years as the cornerstone of its plan to triple its 2002 U.S. vehicle sales by 2007.
The Verona's attractive interior is softened with wood grain accents and equipped with a plethora of storage spaces and cupholders.

 2004 Suzuki Verona Review
Suzuki recently unveiled its Verona family sedan for 2004, and it comes with an impressive list of standard equipment with a price under $20 grand.
After driving a Verona for a week, there were a couple of loud, annoying squeaks that wouldn't go away, and it had less than 10,000 miles on the odometer.
Suzuki likes to brag that it's actually wider than the Camry and Nissan Altima, has more front legroom than the Camry, and has more rear legroom than both the Altima and Accord.

 2004 Suzuki Verona - Review
Verona is an all-new vehicle for Suzuki and is a product of a joint working arrangement among Suzuki, GM and Daewoo.
Verona began life as a Daewoo Leganza, which in its own right was a decent mid-size car.
Verona is also the first of at least two vehicles to be adapted from the Daewoo parts bin.

 2004 Suzuki Verona Review | AutoSite New Car Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The 2004 Suzuki Verona is one of nine new models Suzuki is introducing over the next five years, with a plan to triple sales by 2007.
Verona’s fully independent suspension is comprised of MacPherson struts with a stabilizer bar in the front, and a multi-link setup in the rear.
Our Suzuki Verona test car’s interior build quality was impressive, so much so that one test driver was a bit shocked that he was sitting in a Suzuki (he was even more shocked when considering the car’s Daewoo roots).

 Chicago Auto Show 2003 Highlights - Suzuki 2004 Verona and Forenza
Although Suzuki is actually a player in both the Japanese and European markets with regard to sales, when it comes to the U.S. market – although it is selling more products of late – its objectives are to greatly increase its sales (to 200,000 by 2007, triple where it is right now).
One uncharacteristic departure on the Verona is on the roof, where there are roof-rack grooves stamped in in case someone is looking for a little more utility than is offered by the 15.4-cubic foot trunk.
While neither of the cars is something that will knock one back on his or her heels, presumably that would be the sort of reaction that would be caused by looking at the sticker: there’s a whole lot of car in either case for not a whole lot of money.

 Suzuki Verona EX - Road Tests - Car and Driver - January 2004
The sheetmetal is all-new, bent to a shape penned by Italdesign-Giugiaro in Moncalieri, Italy—about 200 miles west of Verona, the hometown of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Inside, the Verona is five cubic feet roomier than the 6, its seats are more comfortable, and visibility out of the back seat is better.
At 10.7 seconds to 60 mph and 17.9 at 78 mph in the quarter, the Verona would have placed dead last in our February comparison test, "Splashing in the Mainstream," where the next pokiest car was a 3300-pound all-wheel-drive Subaru Legacy at 8.8 and 16.8 seconds, respectively.

 suzuki verona Reviews and Ratings - 2004 Suzuki Verona
But as I navigate this new Suzuki through the hills and freeways of southern California I can tell that what comes next for Suzuki is promising, solid, and a little surprising.
Suzuki seems poised and energized; ready to take a run at sales with an outstanding warranty and 9 new vehicles in the next five years.
On the road, the Verona is a polite, adept handler - neither sporty or sloppy.

 2004 Suzuki Verona Road Test Review - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
Suzuki, known for its small cars and small sport utility vehicles, had an opportunity to expand into the larger, midsize sedan category in the U.S. with this new entry.
Problem is, the Daewoo-designed Verona comes only with a six-cylinder engine with power on a par with some four-cylinder powerplants.
Unlike some Suzuki car designs from the past, there's nothing weird in the Verona's exterior styling.

 Car Nut TV Road Test: 2004 Suzuki Verona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Suzuki sell cars as well as motorcycles, and they are increasing their automotive stockpile with the all-new Verona.
Verona is an excellent second car for a family, or a wonderful first car for those who can’t afford the $30,000 or so most people pay for a V6 Camry, Accord or Altima.
Verona comes to us as a nice car for those not willing to pay another 10 grand over its price to own a Japanese car, but then the buyer definitely does miss out on the quality, performance and reliability many of those cars offer over their Korean counterparts.

 Review: 2004 Suzuki Verona
The Suzuki Verona is not a great car or even an interesting one, but it does strike a convincing note on the bargain front.
The Verona tops a new lineup that starts with the entry-level Forenza (both are mined from the lineup of General Motors' Korean arm, Daewoo) and last year's weird but peppy Aerio compact.
Though Suzuki has countered with the long warranty, buyers may need it: On our low-mileage tester, the cruise control was out.

Suzuki engineers rewired the air bag and it performed properly in the second test.
Suzuki recalled all 2004 Veronas to fix the problem, Suzuki spokeswoman Celeste Speier said.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2004 Suzuki Verona GLX
With a base price of $22,995, the Suzuki Verona GL is about $1,700 cheaper than the base Chevrolet Epica, but the Epica includes a few extra standard features such as an 8-way power driver's seat and front fog lights.
As equipped, the Verona GLX is less expensive than most of its comparable four cylinder and V6-engined competitors, with the notable exception of the Chevrolet Malibu LS V6.
The Verona's 0 to 100 km/h time of eleven and a half seconds is rather slow by six cylinder standards, but as I mentioned, many of the cars it competes with in this price range have four cylinder engines.

 Suzuki Verona EX - - Car and Driver - January 2004
Although the basic design of the car was more or less set before GM and Suzuki came along, Suzuki implemented its own quality-control procedures during the prototype build and launch phases.
But the Verona strikes us as a car you can recommend in good faith to friends looking for a roomy, comfortable, loaded sedan at a price that undercuts even the Hyundai Sonata's and Kia Optima's.
The Verona might boast a 2.5-liter straight six, but the draconian four-speed automatic is good for just one thing: swallowing at least 30 percent of the engine's potential torque.

 CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2004 Suzuki Verona
Suzuki's relationship with GM has been particularly evident in Canada where the two have shared production facilities and re-badged Suzuki sub-compact cars and compact SUVs have found their way to GM showrooms.
Suzuki has a great reputation for bulletproof small cars and SUVs, motorcycles, outboard engines, etc. With the Verona it not only has something to offer existing customers looking to trade-in and/or move up, but also to generate conquest sales and enhance the brand.
The Suzuki Verona is one of those rare vehicles that outperforms its price tag.

 Car Prices and Research - 2004 Suzuki Verona   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Suzuki, best known for its sporty motorbike engines and not-so-exciting compact vehicles, is launching a brand renaissance in 2003, beginning with the 2004 Verona, a stylish mid-size sedan with the only standard inline 6-cylinder in its class and a starting price under $17,000.
Wood grain accents are found throughout the cockpit, and even at the basic Verona S trim level there are luxury touches such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, tilt steering, six-way adjustable driver's seat with adjustable lumbar support, rear heating vents, six-speaker CD stereo, micron-filtered air conditioning and a padded fold-down rear center armrest.
Suzuki's plan to grow its reputation in the U.S., capture market share and increase sales by 300 percent depends, in part, on the success of this first addition to the family tree.

 The 2005 Suzuki Verona - car reviews
The Suzuki Verona EX is one of those surprises in some ways, and not in others.
The Verona deals with moderate shocks and rough pavement like the Camry does, but passes through larger shocks and bumps to the cabin; on the lighter side, the Verona also provides more road feel.
The Verona doesn't have many annoyances; we already cited the weak air conditioning, odd CD player behavior, cancel-free cruise control, and the indecisive automatic with the ill-planned gate.

 [No title]
While it could have been one bad example from a crop of perfect Suzuki cars, it seems like Hondas and Toyotas - and even many American brands - don't develop squeaks and rattles so early in their lives.
Clean styling on the Suzuki Verona makes it look more expensive than it is. It can come loaded with fancy features for under $20,000, which is thousands less than a similarly equipped Toyota Camry or Honda Accord.
The Verona's interior compares in size with the Accord, Camry, and Nissan Altima, yet its price more closely matches that of Japanese compact cars.

The Verona also has less-than-smooth automatic shifting, and the foot brake must be engaged to shift.
The Verona's interior is spacious and the rear seats have an efficient 60- 40 split design.

 2004 Suzuki Verona Car Reviews - The Car Connection
In the Verona's favor however, and with the help of a variable volume intake, Suzuki claims the engine punches out an admirable 177 pound-feet of peak torque at a reasonably low 4000 rpm.
Hit the Wayback Machine to 1996 and the Verona is 2.2 inches longer than the Accord EX that was being built that year (that's two generations ago).
The Verona is squarely in the deepest part of the mainstream, size-wise.

The Verona emits a high-pitched screech when you lock or unlock it with the remote key fob–an attempt at coolness I found grating.
The Verona corners nicely and is stable on the highway.
The Verona is the first car I nearly ran out of gas in since I was a teenager, partly because no warning came light came on even though the needle, once I noticed it, was pegged at empty.

 IGN: 2004 Suzuki Verona
Suzuki aims to steal sales away from the Camry, Altima and Accord with this well-equipped, low-priced four-door.
But, hey, it's front-wheel drive and the most road duty the Verona is meant to see is bumper-to-bumper with the occasional empty stretch of highway (on your way home from Garden of Eden).
The Verona actually does a little more than that, too, for the price of a fully-equipped four-cylinder Honda, Nissan or Toyota we get a full-equipped (and more) 2004 Suzuki Verona with an inline six.

Verona's powertrain is insured for seven years or 100,000 miles and the warranty is transferable to succeeding owners and free of deductible limits for covered items.

Suzuki didn't dumb this car down to much for Americans...yes the side turn indicators are missing and so is the neet roof antenna but these things an owner can buy online and replace.
Suzuki's bumper-to-bumper is lacking in today's market and will make the Verona a hard sale, especially once people realize this car is a Korean car that was made as a dying company's last gasp.
I dislike the chrome around the rear plate opening (the Verona has it too.) and the grill work under the front bumper with the fog lights.
