Buying the 2001 Suzuki Esteem
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Suzuki Esteem; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2001 Suzuki Esteem, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 21 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, suspension and engine and engine cooling. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
The powertrain to know here is the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 8.1 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 24 litres. Expect about $12.56 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the Esteem makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Year and trim
Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Talk to a person
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
