How does one remove the passenger compartment air filter cover? Owner's manual's instructions on pages 20 and 21 do not suffice. Peeling back the hood weatherstrip per the page 3-20 instruction is easy. But then one must remove the three clips holding the panel in place (page 3.21). Each clip has a plastic washer-appearing fitting abut a half-inch diameter that appears to be snapped into place with no easy way to remove. In the center of each round clip is a plastic screw-head appearing fitting with what appears to be a Phillips screwdriver slot. However, turning the plastic screw head--if that is what it is--does nothing. The screw head just spins. I tried on all three slotted center fittings and all reacted the same way.

It works sort of like a plastic drywall anchor, if you've ever used them. The screw inside it is what makes it tight - screw outside of it makes it loose. It will all be clear once you have one in your hand. These are annoying fittings, I don't know if the car industry uses them for their cheapness, or for their DIY-unfriendliness. More than one answer may be correct!

None of my best friends are mice. Mice have eaten part of the engine hood sound insulation. That, I can live with. Worse, they have gotten up the engine air intake passage and into the air filter housing where they have chewed into the air filter element and used the housing as a nesting area. This has happened twice, so I am thinking of cementing a coarse screen of wire over the air intake, which is begins near the front of the engine compartment. Beyond that annoyance, the Verona is running just fine at 50,000-plus miles and some of the minor engine clattering early on seems to have diminished. The leather seats have been durable and show no visible signs of wear.

Rather than drop a new engine into my sister's Verona at 99k miles, the regional Suzuki rep offered to buy her car for 6 grand. She countered with 8,000, and Suzuki paid her off. I had a new engine put in -- piece by piece over the course of last summer -- at only 60,000. Since I had about 20,000 miles still to go under warranty, I thought it was worth more than 8,000 to Suzuki to buy my car. Of course, I had to get a lawyer to write a letter, but Suzuki paid off my loan and gave me an extra thousand to boot. I dropped off my Verona mid-July. I hated to see the car go. I really did love it. But it simply was not a safe car, not with the stalling problems I had. I'm happy to report I bought an '05 Saab 9-3, a one-owner lease, with bumper-to-bumper warranty to 100k. I think from now on I'm going to let someone else break in my cars before I buy them. And I think as fellow Verona owners we all know this, but just in case it needs to be said: NEVER EVER BUY A CAR WITHOUT A WARRANTY!!!!! Thank you and Good Night. Lisa
