  • What a Big Surprise in such a little Car - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    The car performs well, and is quite comfortable - even for my 61", 250 lb son behind the wheel. His girlfriend is 59", neither of them could fit well in my Sebring. Acceleration is impressive for such a small car, and with the italian styling, Ive had people ask me what type of car Im driving. With a 100k 7 year warranty, I know I can drive this car for years without a worry. Its definitely worth consideration.

  • Better value than Corolla or Civic - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    The Forenza is the best value on the street. I have had two Civics and one Corolla and the Forenza tops them all. For what you pay for the Forenza you couldnt get a bone stock Civic. The Forenza comes with all power windows, a really good stereo, and a world class a/c. Suzuki has come along way from jet skis and motorcycles. With Americas best warranty 7years/100,000, why wouldnt you go with the Forenza?

  • First Brand New Car - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I have been driving for more years than I would like to share! I have driven all types of cars and trucks and motorcycles. (Owned a Geo Metro back in the 90s with a Suzuki engine.) And have owned 2 Suzuki motorcycles, all with excellent results. I just bought the car yesterday. My wife and I love it. We think it will meet our needs nicely. I am a big guy and I have plenty of room in this car. Nice interior, comfortable, looks great. This car is worth a look, bigger interior than the Hondas and Toyotas Take a look and compare for yourself, you will be plesantly surprised. When the "after glow" from the purchase wears off, and when I have some miles on it, I will let you know!

  • Love this car!!! - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    First I would like to know who reviewed this car? It cant be what I am driving because I love this car. I owned a honda civic for 2 years prior to this, also 2008 sedan model and the forenza drives better. My car payment went down 200 bucks! Smoother ride and quiet. I got 26mpg on my first gas tank. Not bad city/highway. If you are thinking of getting one of these cars, just get in it and drive. Youll be sold! 11k for a new car, nuts!!!

  • My first foreign car! - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    Hey, this is my first foreign car. I was drawn in to the show room for the price advertised. I traded in a 2004 pontiac sunfire. I can tell you, after driving a mitsibishi at work, american cars stink. This car is alot like the mit,and I really like it. The gas milage is fine, pleny of room in car and trunk, rides smooth, I have no problem at all with the acceleration. Not used to the zig zag on the stick, but Im ok with it now.Great lights inside, no way to lock yourself out,latch for gas cap,soft interior,MP3 is great,stereo sounds awesome,did not like the 100.00 for mats,tight over bumps, would have liked nicer rims, power windows are super fast, has the lock for window control,heated mirrors

  • Fantasy Black Metallic - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I have just the basic model of the Forenza, but if you would just look at it you would not be able to tell. My car has chrome wheels on it and the rear spoiler. If you have a Forenza add the spoiler it will make your car look even better. I love my Forenza(Lucy), but having a car like mine you will get a lot of people who are hate on it. My car handles very well in heavy rain (change out the wipers and get the new air dynamic ones they work way better than the ones that come on the car). Why go get a basic Toyota or Honda with crank down windows when you can get a Forenza for about the same price and get all power stuff.

  • See for yourself - 2008 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I really cant say anything bad. One of the sharpest cars you can buy for the money. This car comes with great base model features and is much more solid than econo-cars before it. You dont buy these cars for sheer performance and gas prices should make the driver focus on doing his part, not just the car. With the money you save invest in a $99 mod-chip for even better mpg & hp. The mpg lives up to its window-sticker quote which is more than a lot of cars can say!
