Suzuki CELERIO [merged threads]

[raptormnl]

Got my unit yesterday - Paradise Blue color with the upgraded audio system (with TV tuner, DVD player, bluetooth, SD slot, and ipod connector), backup sensor, and rear view distance indicator.

Driving experience based on a few kilometers of use is quite pleasant, on the driver side, it's actually a bit roomier than my Altis (2009) ... i'm 5'11" and my knees are touching the steering wheel of Altis, not in the Celerio ... view to the tachometer seems to be obstructed by the steering wheel, but no complaints on that ...the upgraded audio system is a good addition functionally, although aesthetically the original audio system that is molded to the panel looks better...only thing i did not like is the added rear view mirror with indicator - it was vibrating, i'll try to check if there's some adjustments i can make - otherwise i'm letting go of this.

Another observation which i do not know is normal is that the transmission seems to jerk slightly when i shift to park ...this does not happen on my Altis and CRV ... normally this only happens on the other car when i shift to drive and i have my foot on the gas pedal

The blue color is really a nice one ... i'm planning to match it with gold color mags

Now, at Suzuki my wife fell in love with the Fortune Rose Celerio. The
handling was easy and light like the i10. My only concern was the legroom
sa likod. I'm 5'7'' and though my knees did not touch backrest of the front
seat my foot had no more room underneath. Another reason that made us
go for the A/T was the M/T stick was set so low, you had to reach for
it. I know sanayan lang yan pero we decided na A/T na talaga.

I hope Suzuki service quality improves by the time you bring your car for its first service.

2. i'd like to upgrade to mag wheels with the same 14-inch size as the original ...any suggestions if where to buy and how much? ... i do not want to upgrade to 15-inch rims as my boss who has a Celerio upgraded to 15-inch mag wheels mentioned that his Celerio became a 2-seater after the upgrade, because the wheels at the rear are touching the body when persons are seating at the back

The wheels your boss used have incorrect offset - too little. They stick out, hence the rear fender rubbing when laden.

Had the wheels had enough offset, they should tuck into the fenders.

Haha ... I will soon find out. I will be bringing the unit to the casa
for a minor repair. The cabin light remains ON kahit all the doors are
closed na. So, klangan talaga ilagay sa OFF ang switch dahil useless
kung naka "Door".

[SIZE=4]Good day. just been to the Manila International Auto show this morning, and i 've spoke one of the sales rep in suzuki manila bay, they have this low down promo for the suzuki celerio a/t, P58K all in, P13,335/month for 60 months subject to bank approval of course . these are the freebies, 1. DVD/TV/RADIO (china made) 2. back up sensors, 3. 3yrsLTO reg, 4.chattel mortgage, don't know about the tint and matting but its a good deal to me, if ever this will be our first car. if you've notice oil price are getting higher very week, this car will answer to the oil price increase, the SUZUKI CELERIO.

normal yan sir... mamamatay ang lights once ilock mo yung car using the keyless entry... mag didim siya slowly

[DFender]

normal yan sir... mamamatay ang lights once ilock mo yung car using the keyless entry... mag didim siya slowly

*bikeng : Hinayaan kong naka "Door" ang switch at nagdidim nga pala sya slowly after ko
nasara lahat ng doors. Pero matagal akala mo hindi mamamatay, kelangan hintayin para
makasiguro. Salamat sa info!

Tanong ko rin kung normal ba na crumpled or parang may bubbles ang paint sa ilalim ng door,
dun sa parang sideskirt nya. Both sides sya. [photo attached]

[niky]

Looks like rust-proofing and undercoating. Though why they painted over the undercoat...

[nightingale]

*DFender: bakit ganyan yang ilalim ng car? Dapat makinis pa rin pati yang part na yan sa ilalim. I suggest, ask mo dealer na binilhan mo. baka maremedyohan nila.

that is not normal sir, that is bad paint job ... i never had a brand new car with that paint job, including the Celerio that i just got last last Saturday

[raptormnl]

Sir Dfender, here is a pic of my unit ... none of those bubbles you're referring ...i really think that those are bad paint job

[bikeng]

those are rust proofing sa side... normal yan, pag wlang ganyan, that means walang rustproofing yung unit..

[harrissuy]

normal lang yan. rust proofing po yan. yung hyundai i10 ko ganyan din sabi sa akin ng dealer rust proofing daw yung magaspang sa side

[nightingale]

eh bakit celerio namin, naka-rust proof din, pina-full body rustproof ko pa ulit sa ziebart, hindi naman naging ganyan yung paint sa ilalim na part? Ang dami daming cars na naka-rust proof din naman, bakit yung car lang ni DFender yung ganyan na nag-warp, parang balat ng orange yung paint?

[bikeng]

sa medyo ilalim po ng side siya mapapansin... kahit bnew dmax namin ganyan din...

[shadow3616931]

Normal yan Xtrail ko ganyan din.

Anyway baka kumuha ako nyan (celerio) for my wifey, she doesn't need big space naman pang hatid sa school lang, para tipid sa gas.

Anyone here can share FC of the a/t variant.

[raptormnl]

sirs,

i don't think that is normal ... rust proofing is applied when the car is for releasing ...there is a process that prevents rust during painting, but the painter will have to make the exposed surfaces even before applying the paint...my unit does not have those bubble marks as shown on the photo

previous cars that i bought since mid-90's are lancer, civic, crv, and altis ...none have those marks ... those units i mentioned are all rust-proofed as part of the package...rust proofing was applied prior to release (not before painting), except for the lancer which claims to have zero-rust painting process with 5-year warranty back then
