Suzuki Reno Review

2008 Suzuki Reno

Price Range: $13,839 - $14,339

Utility
The Reno is likely a better choice than the average compact hatchback as far as transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of loot or dogs. Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Suzuki Reno over the average compact hatchback.

Performance
Both the Reno and the average compact hatchback are likely to feel a little slow because of their high horsepower-to-weight ratio.

Dimensions
Both the Suzuki Reno and the average compact hatchback are likely to feel a tad sluggish because of their high horsepower-to-weight ratio. The average compact hatchback's tank is approximately the same size as the Reno's, though the Suzuki Reno's is a bit more capacious. The average compact hatchback and the Suzuki Reno compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
The Reno's fuel tank will need to be replenished a bit more often than the unit in the average compact hatchback.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Reno to the dealership as the typical compact hatchback. As far as gas mileage, the typical compact hatchback and the Suzuki Reno don't differ much. The typical compact hatchback won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Suzuki Reno. The Suzuki Reno isn't much less costly than the average compact hatchback when it comes to MSRP. When it comes to out-the-door price, the Suzuki Reno costs substantially less than the average compact hatchback.

Handling
The Suzuki Reno and the average compact hatchback have roughly similar tires. With their comparable turning radiuses, the Suzuki Reno and the average compact hatchback very likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average compact hatchback's engine is a little smaller than the Suzuki Reno's, but not terribly so. The Suzuki Reno has no lessons to learn in terms of torque from the average compact hatchback.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Suzuki Reno offers a bit more head room than the typical compact hatchback, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Suzuki Reno make it quite a bit more spacious for your passengers than the average compact hatchback.

Overview
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Suzuki Reno isn't quite as generous as the typical compact hatchback's.

Real Car Pricing

When it comes to getting car prices from off the internet, you need to be aware of the issues. Because those car prices don't generally include specific options packages. And those options can add thousands of dollars to the sticker price.

Even if you factor in the cost of the options you want, you won't know your actual cost. That's because the dealership won't have exactly the set of options or trims you're interested in. They will only sell you what they have on the lot, take it or leave it.

So if you want the right options and the best deal, get an internet price quote.

The sales person will tell you:

What's on the lot
What options the vehicles have
The lowest internet price.

And if that dealership doesn't have what you want, get an internet quote from another dealership without leaving your house.

No Hassle Negotiation

Anyone who's spent hours haggling at a dealership knows there has to be a better way. And there is. Getting internet price quotes means you can work with a dealer from home. That means no driving around, no high pressure situations and less chance of making a mistake you'll regret later.

You email a dealership about a particular make and model and they come back with what they have on the lot. So you are negotiating for a particular car the price, color, options, and trim level you want. If they don't have what you want, just contact a different dealership. Once you've found the car of your dreams, you visit the dealership and close the deal. Sweet.
