as I understand it, the 2003 Accord EX had a Power Sunroof and so does the 2004. Honda has a system where all the EX models get Power Sunroofs (Except the Odyssey and maybe Pilot, I don't remember) A little off topic here, but does anybody remember if the Pilot EX has a Power Sunroof?

is this topic on the sedans baord yet?   BTW, a review of the Chevy Epica (canadian version of the verona) is on the website   www.canadiandriver.com

Nope, the Pilot, nor the Oddyssey have sunroofs on EX models.   Also, if you opt for the Element with 4WD, you get a manual sunroof in the rear. DX or EX models.

As I pull into the Suzuki dealer I see it right away. A white Verona LX. It looks very nice. crisp Italian lines, good paint, and nice allow wheels. Suzuki didn't dumb this car down to much for Americans...yes the side turn indicators are missing and so is the neet roof antenna but these things an owner can buy online and replace. Looking inside I see that the interior is much better than previous Deawoo's. Well everything except the horrid plastic wood. Otherwise very nice with quality textures on most of the plastic. This is a Lx so The EX must be the sportier model and would ditch the ugly wood I'm thinking to myself. How wrong am I... They all have it. Not to run anyone down that likes plastic wood but it looks like it was lifted right out of my grandfathers 1986 buick wagon. That sends a shiver down my spine. And the next bad news. No manual shift mode or a true manual! So I tell myself you could live with a lazy automatic... most americans are shiftless people anyway... I hold my breath and ask for a test drive. I would have to say it is on par with a Sanota which is not bad. I would like more power. It pulls well but not six cylinder well. it feels like a very smooth four cylinder. and yes in ex form it is priced in main stream four cylinder territory. Put it up against Hyundai and their prices and Suzuki is a loser. My local Hyundai dealer is offering V6 sonata's at about $15G. An you don't have to have the horrid wood and you can have your manual too.

but the Sonata is really ugly. Sonata is a car that we could do without in the marketplace.   Verona is excellent but needs a power boost.

What?? The Sonata is ugly? Are you crazy? The Sonata is a very sharp looking car ever since its 2002 refresh. I've seen the Verona at my dealer. I will admit the interior looks nice and appears to be of high quality. The exterior though is a different story. The side view looks nice, but the front looks odd with the funky lookin headlights and huge S emblem and rhe rear is rather bland. Whereas, the Sonata looks classier with its Jaguarish rear, jeweled tailights, and Mercedes inspired headlights. The Sonata's design just looks like it meshes together better than Suzuki's attempt at changing the front styling.   People shopping the big name brands would immediately walk away from this car once they see the hp rating and the lack of side airbags. Even Hyundai has made side airbags standard on their cheapest car, the Accent! Hyundai has improved their perception by offering a long warranty. Suzuki's bumper-to-bumper is lacking in today's market and will make the Verona a hard sale, especially once people realize this car is a Korean car that was made as a dying company's last gasp.

i can respect your points on the Verona, but man, the Sonata / Optima is just an unattractive car. Not a nice feeling.
#69 of 1822 Verona by chrisducati Oct 13, 2003 (3:47 am)
Each person to his own opinion. I like the looks of both cars. It is the detail items that make the difference for me. There are things about the Sonata I would change too. I dislike the chrome around the rear plate opening ( the Verona has it too.) and the grill work under the front bumper with the fog lights. I like the textures in the Verona interior better than the Sonata, but I hate fake wood. That fake wood alone will stop a sale for me. If I could buy a Verona with out the plastic wood and at least a manual mode to the automatic I would be at the Suzuki dealer as soon as it opened. But one can't so Hyundai has my money. Oh and as for Kia, I know it is a Sonata in different cloths. The reason I am not at the Kia dealer is because of personal taste also. The car can only be had with a tan or gray interior. I like the Black in the Sonata. Also I found the 2003's grill to be horrible. I know that is changed for 2004.
