Mice by marvinlee1

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.

Mice hate mothballs (the kind in a box, hee-hee). Put them in your garage, and if possible, around your air intake.

With all the issues these cars have had motor wise-it would be a VERY BAD idea to install a super charger (even if you could find one). Theses cars unfortunately are so bad the resale market is non existent for them.
 
Don;t put any unneeded money in this car.

Suzuki's Buying 'Em Back by gettingornery

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 what all was happening to you and your sisters car that the engine needed to be replaced. WE are in a predictament that I need cylinder work and it is rather expensive. We heard from our district rep yesterday that Suzuki wouldn't help us fix the car (we have 104K on the car not much past the warranty). How did you get them to purchase the car back? What exactly dod the lawyer help you with? Please help! I don't know what to do and I still owe money on the piece of crap. Anyone having information would be appreciated. Please feel free to use my personal email address. Mickeysgalcomcast.net

Antifreeze change by marvinlee1
Sep 01, 2008 (9:38 am)

Where is the antifreeze drain for the cooling system on the Verona? I crawled underneath to drain the old fluid and was unable to see the drain. A sort of protective metal plate shields the radiator bottom from easy access. Must this first be removed? And, has anyone tried replacing the original conventional antifreeze with a more modern long-life antifreeze?
