Hi! I am planning to buy this vehicle. Was wondering if any of you guys out there own one? I would like to know about your experience on reliability, parts availability, fuel economy, durability, aircon and any other info you can provide. Any common trouble spots?

I know some parts of vehicles are interchangeable like Toyota and Daihatsu. Was wondering if you have tried substitutes as well just in case no parts were available?

I found these Suzuki Auto supply shops just in case anyone out there is considering getting an Esteem as well. Please feel free to add more auto supplies that sell Esteem parts - especially in the south.
