  • I got a deal - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    Paid $11,060 out-the-door for my Forenza. I needed a wagon and it turned out that I couldnt find anything else comparable for the price. The price I got it for is actually better than youll get for any econo car. I dont expect it to be quick so Im content. I average 27 mpg in city/hwy driving. It never gets less than 25 and I got 34.2 once on the highway. As far as the ride comfort, handling, braking and road feel go, theyre fine and will only improve with top grade performance Michelin tires. The Kumhos it has are admittedly mediocre. If you need a wagon its a great deal. HAGGLE with the dealer. This is my 17th car and I know how to get a good price. Im sure you can too. Its well worth $11,060.

  • What a steal - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I cant believe what I paid for this car and what the options are. Very quick, no power problems. I just talked my mother in law into the forenza station wagon. Dont spend the extra money on the Honda or Toyota you would just be throwing it away. Two children fit nicely into the back with the travel tv, have taken long trips with no probs and how about the warranty? I paid more for a new car in 1991 that didnt have half the options. Wife loves it and we will be looking at the XL 7 to replace the grand cherokee because of the quality and cost of our first suzuki.

  • This is a good car - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    The Forenza has pretty good performance, a very good body style, an excellent stereo, stops on a dime, and comes with lots of extras that other models of this type do not have. Go with the LX or EX model and you get what you pay for. They say it has a lot of wind noise, but when the windows are up this car is very quiet and smooth.

  • treat it right - 2005 Suzuki Forenza

    if you treat it right it will treat you right. that means regular maintenance. i have had it for awhile and it works great. big enough for my family.

  • Economically priced - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I figured the Suzuki Ex for the price of $13,800 and some change out of the door (OTD) the gamble is worth it. The vehicle is loaded with leather seats, front and back airbag, power windows, full fledge alarm system, Cruise control, AM/FM CD/ Cassette player, Sun roof, Fog lights and audio control buttons located on the steering wheel. It also has 3 years of road service, 7 years warranty on major mechanical components, for that price I really cannot complaint. I was driving this vehicle for a week and a half and it give me better gas mileage than my Sienna LE.I owned Town & Country Crysler and they brought nothing but stress and nightmare.

  • Good ride - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I bought my car in December, 05. I love my Forenza. I drove it from Louisiana to Colorado and had great gas milage. I bought it to commute to school and it has served that purpose well. If you need a car to get around town or are a college student, get this car!

  • Excellent - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    I love everything about this car. It gets good fuel economy, has style, ergonomics, decent handling, and a nice interior. To top it all off, its a bargain. I cant believe the reviewers are so negative on this car. They must just be biased.

  • Not too bad a car - 2005 Suzuki Forenza
    By -

    Well, I have owned my car for one month right now and I have to say that I am rather happy. Did have one minor glitch my clock did not work-service said fuse blew out- just did not know how that could have happned. Anyways, rides fine, has good pickup when giving it the gas, sound system is great, didnt really find the leg room space as others have found. I had an orginal 1986 Pontaic Grand Am which I found to just as have as much leg space as this car but the backseat is more comfortable to sit in as my friends report.
