Hey guys...Im from iraq and I gust had buy this car imported from the United States - California, but it's blue....and it's crashed from the left front at california when I received it, even when I fix the air refrigerated and some internal fixes, its stay a good car!! I love it!!....But I think it's started to become old...and plzz i have question, can you answer me plzz....My question is: Can I control in the steering wheel, like get it down or up??
this car can go to hell i bought one like 4-5 months ago with barely 36k miles on it and its been at the shop twice already.. worst car I've ever had.
I just got in a crash yesterday with this car. It was entirely the other drivers fault he thought he had enough time to come in from a side street onto a busy street... he didn't. I hit his middle/rear, and the crumple zone worked amazing! The car is totaled, but I was able to walk away with only a bruise. :) It kept me safe, also it was very roomy i was always able to hold all my stuff. It was my first car, I got it for $8,000 at 6000 miles, and it was the best decision I have ever made. :)
The powertrain warrenty on this car sucks and depending on what dealer you go to they might even charge you big bucks even though its on warrenty. THis car sucks just stay away. Read some reviews online. Just type Suzuki forenza on google and it will show you all the reviews. If you are getting a car financed dont go with regional acceptance corporation they suck.
Never buy this car. This car ia a piece of crap. The value depreciate's really fast and theres always something wrong with the car. We got my suzuki forenza appraised the other day I payed 15,500 in june 2007 as of January 1, 2011 it is only worth 3000 according to car max. This car sucks real bad and has loud engine noise. After 50,000 miles thats when you start having all kinds of trouble stay away from this piece of crap car which does not hold its value.
actually the engine is great ive got the reno which is the same thing and i absolutly love it the milage is great but i also have the 5 speed manual id say get it its like a neon cheap runs great as long as you maintain and there are parts galore if you want to mod it
i have an 04 its been a good car. my only complaints are that it lacks when it comes to acceleration and for some reason my clock no longer works. other then that the styling is much better then the newer models and the 04 has some better features then the newer ones. so if your on a budget its a good car to get but to expect anything to fancy
I would suggest 2004 models. I have a 2004.. at 94 000 miles.. runs great. 2004-2005 models were the "good" ones that were originally made for other markets. Once the manufacturer saw that they can sell this car.. they cut down the quality so much. 2006 2007 and even 2008 models suck. 2004 ones especially are "trying to make a good impression" cars... and dirt cheap. If u'r shopping for a car and want to spend only a couple grand, go for a 2004 forenza.
4th brake lights started staying on while driving. got out the car alot, and notice they were still on had to tap the brakes alot just to get them to go off. now im having problems with my a/c shortage i guess it won turn on some times have to keep turning the knob back and forth just to get the air to cut on and blow. no problems with the engine (knocking on wood) im so ready to get another car. i still havent grown to love it after even after 2 years!
i have this car and i hate it! i wish i would of shopped around instead of settling for my first deal of getting finaced on a new car. i bought it brand new back in june of 2007 with 17 miles on it. 5 month's later i started having minor problems with the car. 1st. it was was making a rubbing noise under the hood on cold starts then went away 2nd. woulnd shift out of park at times.3rd.tranny started driving like it was in 3rd. gear due to bad sensor.
Hello?!?! my 06 forenza wagon came with alloy wheels and side curtain airbags!
FYI i once got mine to do 117, but i think the wind was at my back cause the most ive done since then was only about 110. Mine is a wagon though, maybe the sedan is faster.
Sad thing is you can't add transmission fluid yourself. Theres no dipstick. And like notmarcofilms said.... I also have to drive a long way to a dealer. 2 1/2 hours.
Funny how this car gets negative reviews but everyone who owns one loves it. I have a black 06 forenza, with a 5-speed manual and I really like mine. btw I can do 0-60 in 8. My car has no modifications either.
this dudes a fuckin idiot the 2007 suzuki forenza (standard) does 0-60 in 10 while the corolla does 0-60 in 13 and i raced a corolla S while my suzuki was stock and i smoked the motha fucka he needs to do some research.
i got 2006 forenza and am very happy with it. It looks great in pearl white, it came with tinted windows and the interior is much nicer than any other base car. PLUS it comes with power everything for less than all others come with power nothing.
Add the 10 year warranty and the low price and it can't be beat. i dont find it underpowered at all cuz i have a manual transmission, its soooo fun to drive. and for only 13K out the door :)
the only thing i would say would be a negatively about the car:
1. gas millage is not bad (i get 25-30mpg) but getting at least 30 like most economy cars would be nice.
2. there is only one suzuki dealership left in the entire phoenix area. there were 4 a year ago. so getting warranty work done, etc, can be a bit of a drive.
Hell yea! Or like me;throw that automatic in to second or3rd g. for a split second and freeway passing is a cinch!It was kinda squirrlly when I 1st got it til I found out the 50psi performance tires Suzuki puts on the car were only filled up to FREAKING 35!Damn near tore my shit up.I can't believe were taking about Forenzas.There was NO disc. on YT a year ago when I bought it.I know.I looked.GO FORENZA!!
i own this car and i love it. But yes i find it to be underpowered as well. especially when i'm trying to pass someone on the highway. But its a fun to drive car. the only thing i wish i had on mine is cruise control and keyless entry. but otherwise a great car.
GM ruins everything it touches: Suzuki, Saab, Isuzu, etc.

I have a 07, bought it in a pinch
It is the most sloppy driving POS ever. Slow even with a 5spd, has blind spots that can hide a Mack truck.
Hood shakes at over 50mph from the wind and it gets blown all over the road in the slightest breeze.
Cheap POS kumho tires wore out in 22K.
You could not pay me to buy another one.
