2005 Suzuki Forenza

Pros: Appearance/loaded with options/comfortable and quiet ride.

Cons: Keyless entry:to prevent lockout-you must lock passenger door from outside: a minor annoyance.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car to anyone looking at a Corolla/Civic etc. based on price and options/trouble free driving.

Review: I have not written a review here in quite sometime. What prompted this review is, what I consider, to be an unfair review/rating by Consumer Reports Magazine. They rated the Forenza DEAD LAST compared to the other Compact sedans. I would like to ...

Pros: AWSOME soundsystem. Great smooth Style inside and out

Cons: alot of wind noise from the sunroof. Chrome accents are plastic and scratch verry easy

The Bottom Line: I recomend that you Test drive one and see how it drives and feels, its no mercedies but it sure keeps me happy

Review: this is my second car, my old car broke so I found this car with 22k miles for only $10k with every upgrade option at a Car dealer in my town, I have driven alot of cars, my Father Drives a Mercedies and a BMW Though this car is NO WHERE near as nice and ...

Pros: Headroom, comfort, ergonomics, stereo, styling

Cons: Fuel economy could be better.

The Bottom Line: I really like mine.

Review: I bought my 2005 Forenza wagon a little less than a year ago. I have just over 15,000 miles on it. I was a little disappointed that I had to bring it to the dealer a few times to get some minor problems fixed at first. Since then it has redeemed ...

Pros: smooth ride, lots of trunk room, great sound system.

Cons: Locking system isn't perfect - could use some tweaking.

Review: I bought this car used this last summer, it had 27000 miles on it. We have had absolutely no problems (knock on wood) so far and this has been a great car for us. One thing I must say I do not like is the fact that when you unlock the driver's door, ...

Pros: Comfortable, Quiet Ride

Cons: Wierd Shifter, Poor Acceleration

The Bottom Line: This is a average car that needs to be improved to contend with other manufacturers products.

Review: Suzuki has tried over the years to be a mainstream automotive group in the United States, and they have had mild success in this endeavor. They have produced vehicles such as the Grand Vitara, Esteem, and Aerio. Now they have a value priced alternative ...

Pros: It has a nice appearance.

Cons: Everything except the appearance. AVOID.

The Bottom Line: If I could copy/paste the word "AVOID" here 30 times, I would. But I don't think that's necessary.

Review: When my husband bought his 2005 Suzuki Forenza, it seemed like a good deal for a few reasons: He had to get out of the car he was driving (went over the mileage on a lease), the Forenza's base price on this brand-new car was low enough to make getting ...

Pros: Dashboard appearance, size of the car

Cons: MPG, sterio system, road noise, transmission, pretty much everything

Review: I bought this car in August 2005, and about 80% of the miles driven on the car are highway miles. My transmission has gone bad, the shocks have gone bad and I am literally averaging 13-15 mpg in town. I have taken it into the shop three times and the ...

Pros: The car's appearance is the ONLY "Pro" I have.

Cons: Need I say more? Read above and see what I mean...

Review: I bought a 2005 Suzuki Forenza in Sept. '05, and have had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS with the car since I bought it: Issues from not being able to go from 'park' to 'reverse'(twice), brake lights not working (twice), fuel pump broken, dash mount cracked, ...
