Overview & Reviews
A versatile wagon model joins the lineup. Side airbags are now standard on all Forenzas.
- Lots of standard features for the price, comfortable cabin with unexpected conveniences, solid construction, predictable handling.
- Subpar fuel economy, similarly priced Aerio makes more power.

Forenza - Another Citrus Fruit - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By J - June 24 - 8:43 amAt 6,000 miles, my 2005 Suzuki Forenza needed a new oil pump. At 9,000 miles, it needed a new transmission. No wonder Suzuki touts the best warranty coverage in America. If you buy one.........youre going to need it!

Neat Car - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By Steve - June 12 - 11:33 amI love the VW Jetta-like interior dashboard look of my new Suzuki Forenza. The inside is very nice for such a low priced vehicle. The outside reminds me of the typical Hyundai look and it did not surprise me to learn that these are built in S. Korea at the GM Daewoo plant. i live in SoCal where everyone drives in the 80s and this car has no problem keeping up but the gas mileage suffers at 24 mpg. I backed it down to the 70s and now im getting 28 mpg and Im okay with that. I have the 5 speed. I test drove the gutless and wonderless automatic transmission and passed. The car is a little slow building rpms in 2nd gear, but with all of the features this is one neat little car. The locking system is strange, I seem to always have an unlocked car?

Fun to Drive/ Huge leg room - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By Deion - June 9 - 7:56 amIt has huge leg rooms in both front and rear seats. It is very comfortable to drive with less noise. Its been a real great car for its price. The problem is this ones strengths are not well publicized in the market yet...

Keep the Gas Stations in view - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By Steve - May 5 - 9:40 pmNice package with all the LX or EX models. In a real city , Chicago, with the 4 speed auto trans, keep your wallet and gas stations in view. Gas mileage miserable at 13.5 to 14.5 mpg. This is a real shame for otherwise a nice vehicle and what could have been an excellent value. Forenza Wagon LX with 4 speed auto and 4 wheel abs.

Lots of engine noise, very low power - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By Bill Pearson - April 26 - 6:13 amSeverly lacking in power. Lousy gas milage for a car of this size. My 2001 Lincoln Town Car gets as good or better gas milage in town & on the hwy. This car is somewhat unstable on the road. It gets blown around by trucks. Seems to veer a little for no apparent reason. Pulls to right on initial acceleration. No longer own this pigeon.

Good commuter for young drivers. - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
By alessing - April 19 - 10:06 amI had this car for a few years and never really had problems with it. Like others the airbag light came on but that was its ONLY problem. I wont complain about power because if I wanted power I couldve bought something else. It was perfect for what I needed, something inexpensive, mildly efficient, reliable, and simple. This was perfect.
