Buying the 1997 Suzuki Esteem
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1997 Suzuki Esteem; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Buying the 1997 Suzuki Esteem is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Engine and fuel
The powertrain here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 8.1 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $12.56. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,300 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the Esteem
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space, size and seats
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Esteem for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Which one to look for
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
