  Only gas saves this car - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By M - December 5 - 6:06 pm

  This owner not satisfied with his purchase at all. At best the car is mediocre. Great gas mileage and a decent stock stereo makes this car tolerable.

  I went from a luxury Toyota to an economy Suzuki. Except for power seats and a premium stereo I have the same features. The ride is adequate. My insurance is cheaper. The warranty is great. Its an inexpensive car with a lot of the little options that we have come to want. It has tons of storage, and I had an SUV before.

  Drive for a living - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By Stacey - November 13 - 5:53 pm

  I drive for a living 300 miles a day in my forenza. Yes I had to change the selt belt but that was free. Other then normal required maintance; my car has been perfect. Gas mileage is great for the size of the car since I fill up the tank everyday. Although the tires come in one size; you can actually have one size bigger put on and its been cheaper and has gotten better gas mileage. For someone who drives for a living; it has been a great vechile.

  Piece of crap - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By lynn28 - November 12 - 12:10 am

  Omg, I have had nothing but problems with my car ever since I have owned it. Had the problem of it not starting then the passenger seat belt light coming on and I have gone threw tires with it left and right. I just found out my car needs front struts with only 60,000 miles on it what the heck?

  I like it. - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By crisp - November 11 - 8:23 am

  The dealer told me to buy this car new over a used Honda Civic. Im actually quite impressed. It did have the not-starting problem for a week, thats gone. 2 recalls. 1 for the seatbelt latch and another for the headlight wiring harness. I put 87 octane in it and get around 30 mpg combined. Stellar if you ask me. Very quiet car at rest. The a/c freezes. Perfect. Spins the tires when I want. Brakes could go for 100k miles. I paid 11k for this car new and other than bad resale its an awesome commuter for sure/

  WOW! Dont wait, BUY ONE! - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By suzukirocks - October 26 - 7:26 pm

  Second time Suzuki owner (Vitara) and have fallen in love with my new one! I have around 15k on my Suzuki Forenza sedan. The 5 speed tranny is easy to use and I especially like how you cant accidently put it into reverse. I am a large 61" man and fit into this car without a problem. The engine is peppy and the fuel economy is fine. The car has a luxury car ride feel especially on long trips not typical of cars this size. Trunk is large. Getting a car seat in and out is easy. We can even get 4 people in this car with one in! 8 speaker stereo literally ROCKS! Power windows, locks, tilt, and power sides for this price. What a deal!

  #1 Car in its Class in the in US, Hands Down - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By Geni - September 10 - 6:13 pm

  I bought this car having had great experiences with Suzuki in the past. I was the owner of a 1986 Forsa in Puerto Rico until 2005. The three cylinder wagon was all I payed for it. This new Forenza is just as good. It is as fast as any Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and it is economically super. I have so much fun driving it, too bad its so under rated. Its worth every buck I payed for it.

  My Dream Car - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By Meme - June 18 - 3:16 pm

  I have not ever owned a new car. I did resaerch on this beauty and loved all that I saw about the car. After I bought it and have been driving on the interstates and also back roads. It handles wonderfully with no shaking or sliding in the curves. It holds the road really well, rain or shine. I have a sunroof also and it is very nice to open and see the stars or enjoy the sun. My husband was against a convertable so this is the next best thing. The stereo is awsome. Whether you ride front or back seat you have plenty room. The trunk has all the room I could use. Did I mention that I came out of a Windstar van to this beauty or that I am a 62 year old grandmother? No matter what age you are, this car is Kewl.

  I like !! - 2006 Suzuki Forenza
  By roy71 - April 8 - 6:12 am

  Well, we got the Forenza 6 months ago with 29,000 miles. It now has 36,400 miles and only "problem" was one bent rim, which was no cost to us, the dealer even put a new tire on it for us =) I think its fun to drive, we have the 5speed manual. The design is really awesome, it beats the boring civic or corolla hands down. It has proven reliable so far. It seems like you get a really bad Forenza or a really good one. Ive read the reviews, after we bought it, if i would had read them before we bought it, honestly i probably would not have purchased it, but i dont regret purchasing it =)
