Hey, as far as I'm concerned, we are covering the important stuff. But if you want me to talk horsepower, I will. Even though you can fit five people in the Esteem, it gets a little sluggish when you're carrying more than one or two because the four-cylinder engine only makes 98 horsepower. A single with no back fat, you mean. Remember Suzuki's schtick.
Economy is their specialty.
We averaged more than 30 miles a gallon in the Esteem, which is pretty remarkable. And I seriously doubt if you could squeeze more than two adults in that back seat, even though this is the biggest car Suzuki's ever built. Now that's an accomplishment. Still, it's a far cry from a Geo Prizm or the new Honda Civic. We own a Prizm and just finished a two-week test of the Civic.
