What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Suzuki Forenza

"FORENZA"

"It is an excellent family vehicle. I do not like that it does not have crusie control. That is a good benefit for a family car. It should have power sits. I was surprised that it had manual sit ajustments. Also, the driving of the vehicle is a little rough for an almost new car. I have a 2004 Chevy Classic that drives smoother than the Forenza. I wonder how it will drive as the miles increase. Overall, I am happy with the vehicle. I even financed it under the retail price, and its almost brand new. I do feel I am getting my moneys worth."

"The worst car I have ever had"

"This car was purchased band new off the lot. I have had 8 re-calls done on the vehicle, and kept up with the service. After 2 1/2 years, I need to replace the engine. If you are looking for a point A-B car for not a lot of money, this one will cost you more in maint."

"Great vehicle."

"Great car especially for trips. It has a smaller tank for gas, so it is relatively cheaper to fill. Great mpg as well. Keep it clean under the hood and it will last for years."
