The driver's manual says you should use E87 with no more than 10% Ethanol. E85 shouldn't be too much of a bother.
Other posts on the forum have said that you should try to avoid Ethanol; but in some areas, the none of the gas stations have a purely unleaded option.
Whoa... there's a big difference between 10% ethanol (or even 15% ethanol) and E85. E85 is 85% ethanol and will quite literally destroy the seals, gaskets and fuel lines over time if the car is not made to use it. I'm not aware of any Suzuki-made engines that are designed for E85, so the answer to the original question is a resounding "No".
Yes, I am aware that there are places that sell conversion kits to E85, but I'm still not sure that I would risk it.
