With the only inline 6-cylinder standard engine in the midsize sedan class, the new 2004 Suzuki Verona puts performance in a base model equation. And the all-new Verona reaches its jam-packed sum total with a MSRP starting at $16,499. Verona’s shapely exterior is a head turner whether cruising the freeway or striking a static driveway pose. There’s so much to like about this four-door sedan, from the pristine ride and handling to the smartly designed interior. Verona is sold in three trim levels: Verona S, LX and EX. Mileage per gallon estimates for the 2.5-liter, 155 horsepower V6 equipped Verona are 20 city/27 highway. Even the top-of-the-line EX fitted Verona carries a base price less than $20,000 ($19,499). For the cash that means a slew of standards, including antilock brakes, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, floor mats, leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, cruise control, CD/AM/FM audio system with 6 speakers, and heated front seats. The front wheel drive Verona is covered by a 100,000 mile/7-year powertrain (engine, transaxle, transmission, drive system and when equipped transfer case) limited warranty that’s fully transferable to future car owners as well as a 36,000 mile/3-year new vehicle limited warranty.
