• Subpar fuel economy, similarly priced Aerio makes more power.

  Nice Little Wagon - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Alan Jay - February 19 - 12:53 pm

  Nice practical wagon. I average about 25 MPG with the automatic, better on highway trips. Great interior. I love the styling. Engine a little noisy on hard acceleration, but quiet at speed. The 2.0 Holden (Australian GM made) engine has a good long record for reliability in Europe, where it is used a lot. The ZF (German designed) auto transmission had a couple of minor quirks, but was fixed with a recent program update. It now is buttery smooth. Great sound system. It has started and run flawlessly. No squeaks or rattles. Handling is competent, but not sporty. Ride is quite good for a small car. Seems sturdy. (It weighs almost 3000 lbs.)

  Great Car for the Price - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Louie - October 6 - 8:00 am

  The 2005 Suzuki Forenza is well made and fun to drive. It is a surprisingly nice vehicle for the price. It comes standard with many options that are cost extra on many other cars, cush as power windows and door locks. I have owned a number of Hondas and this car is right up there with the Civic.

  I just bough the Forenza S, and I love it. I traded a Daewoo Lanos for it, and it is a huge improvement. I love the way that it handles, the room, comfortable seats, and the whole interrior design. The trunk space is great too. If you are looking for a car with basic style plus a little more with a great warranty, I would strongly recomend this little family car.

  Excellence and Practicality - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Don LAmb - August 14 - 9:53 pm

  What a deal. To get a beautiful car that is comfortable, fully equipped, and convenient, not to mention the fantastic gas mileage that it gets. I will never buy another American made auto. I got a100,000 mile warranty, which is unheard of in the American car market and the equivalant American car was $10,000 more expensive.

  Good bang for the buck! - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Ken - November 24 - 6:26 am

  It has the style and standard features of cars costing 3 or 4 thousand dollars more. Very comfortable ride for this size of car. This is my first foreign built car and am well pleased.

  A Sleeper thats a Flat-out Steal! - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By SmallWagonDriver - November 24 - 3:46 am

  We absolutely love this car! And I hate cars (wheres those jet-packs that those futurists said wed have by now?). Anyway, after extensive internet research, my wife and I decided this was it (first ever new one). It looks great, drives great, feels great, and it didnt break the bank. Though its only got 30,000 miles on it, it has not let us down once nor has it been in a shop except to get oil and tires changed. It has plenty of room (hauls an upright bass just fine), has great safety features, has a decent stereo., and has plenty of power. Its a superb, solid highway cruiser! Folks, if you want an inexpensive wagon that sure doesnt look and feel like one, the Forenza is it!

  Great car - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By Ray - September 15 - 6:26 pm

  My parents bought this car two days ago and wow. Im an automatic man and the manual trans. is very easy to get use to. This car is awsome to drive ive already street raced a dude in a supped up Accord and beat him. The handling could be a bit better and the stopping distance but it is still great. The fuel gage stayed 1/8 past full, but after 70 miles it dropped dramatically. its now has 86 miles and there 7/8 of a tank left which is great. i love this car great trunk room and plenty of cabin space. im 61 195 and i have plenty of room. For 11,000 you cant go wrong.

  By Rubens - August 12 - 9:00 pm

  A lot of features is standard in the car, as a 4 wheel disk brakes, power mirror, windows and lock, roof rack. 24 MPG in the city and 30 MPG in the freeway, I did many travel on this winter and the average was 30 MPG (5 speed).

  Outstanding Value - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
  By semifamous1 - June 7 - 12:10 pm

  I can not believe how much car and extras were delivered for the price that I paid for this vehicle. I expect that it will go up in price just due to how well it has performed compared to other vehicles in its class that cost much higher. I have been very pleased so far!
