  airbags - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
  By ohwow - November 6 - 1:03 pm

  I just totaled my car Sunday night and it held up very well I flipped it twice and none of the air bags went off, im okay though. But I was very surprised at how well it held up with some of the thing I found out why the price was so low and they just kinda found the cheep way out. But I was very surprised. But I would never buy another Suzuki car

  Good for the price? - 2008 Suzuki Forenza

  I thought this car would be good on gas and boy was I wrong! The dealership said it would get better the more I drive it, but who wants to drive more than they have to with the price of gas as it is. I get about 325 to 360 miles per tankful, which averages about 25 to 28 mpg. I have the standard and when it is in 5th gear it sounds like it is going to take off. I think there should be an overdrive or sixth gear.

  Yuck - 2008 Suzuki Forenza

  The acceleration on this is terrible. The seats feel like youre sitting on a rock. The gas mileage is OK and thats being nice. I guess I just expected more out of this car considering Im paying $455 a month for it and theres no cruise control. Even my 1993 Chevy S10 had cruise control.

  Safe Car - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
  By TC - July 7 - 4:10 am

  I had a black metallic Forenza until someone ran a red light hitting me on the passenger side of my car causing me to become airborne and going under the wheel of an F 250. All that and I walked away without any injuries. Plus the driver airbag did not deploy and i am still having questions about that. After all that I am still going to buy another Suzuki because my Forenza never put me down.

  Airbag Issue? - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
  By denise_from_sc - April 8 - 3:56 am

  Our Suzuki was totaled out after an older Ford Explored hit the driver side on March 19th of this year. None of the airbags deployed. I loved my car. I doubt I will ever buy another just for that fact. A co-worker has an 07 Forenza...was hit by a deer...twice, within a a few months of each other. Practically the same spot on car, and location within her community; and neither time did the airbags deploy. How can you trust a car that isnt protecting you?!

  Can I Give It Back?? - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
  By Can I Give It Back?? - May 12 - 10:43 pm

  I have been less than impressed with this vehicle. I feel like I am driving a manual transmission because it jerks pretty severely when you step on the gas. I had to have my speakers replaced because they blew out - I dont blast my radio! My fuses blew out on my cigarette lighters and turn signals within a year. My engine light is on again, this time due to a bad transmission sensor! The gas mileage is horrible! I was in a pinch and needed a new car, but at this point, I would have been better off keeping my old one!
