Getting back to the rear seat, we folded it down and put some pretty good-sized and weighted cargo. I was happy with the way the rear tailgate lifted up. I appreciated it as did the people who were loading the patio benches into the Esteem. The Suzuki Esteem wagon is a solid vehicle. It is a good size for a small Japanese car.
Economy is good and the engine does the job.
In one particular instance we would have preferred a stick shift, but the automatic worked fine with the vehicle. The Auto Channel. To report errors and other problems with this page, please use this form.
