"Bought this car new back in 2006 have 65,000 miles on it so far and not a lick of problems with it whatsoever. Starts first time everytime. The radio/cd sound /quality is really good. You can turn it up and it stays crisp and clear. We have gotten lots of comments on the car from passengers who have ridden in it. Most can't get over the comfortable seats and the pretty smooth ride. The interior is very quiet for a small car. Passes with ease without hesitating. The transmission shifts flawlessly. The paint and finish still looks as good as the day we bought it. Very impressed overall and would definitely buy it again. The gas mileage is impressive we have gotten 35 + mpgs cruising on the highway. Get around 30 + mpg in mixed driving. The trunk space is really great. The only thing I would change is that I wish the front cup holders were a little larger. Other then that this is defintely worth the money spent on it."

"This is one noisey car! It shakes, vibrates, & hums. The car doesn't start if you don't drive it for a few days as well. Imagine coming back from vacation, jumping in your car to head home, & it's dead. I changed the battery which helped.So now it will start after a few hours but, it still won't start after days. The brakes sometimes go on this car. I have come to a stop on several occassions and the brakes went out on me completely. This car is a magnet for abuse! The bumper is easily damaged & if you look around at other Forenza's in NYC you will notice that the bumpers all look bad. This car has depreciated so much that it's not even worth half of what I paid for it. Buyer beware!"

"My '06 Forenza Sedan may have been cheap, but so far it is equal to my wife's '06 Honda Civic. I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable, good-looking, gas-saver for a low price."

"Bought 06 for my son. I was pleasantly surprised. It is comfortable, rides well, handles well, many standard features. Cranks everytime we've gotten in. I sold my 3000GT and have been looking for a replacement for some time. Nothing has caught my eye (3000Gt was my baby). In the meantime, I've been driving my sons Forenza. It's not a sports car by no means but it has exceeded my expectations on everything, so much so, that I will be buying one myself. Great value for the money. Good fuel mileage."

"I never considered buying a Suzuki before I bought my premium package 2006 Forenza. I needed a car to replace my 1998 Chevy Malibu. I wanted something smaller, safe, comfortable, and with the same features as my Malibu(ABS, cruse control, auto windows, auto locks, and key less entry) and this car had it all. I looked at many used cars but for my price range nothing was even remotely comparable to my Malibu's features. After going to most dealerships in town I figured I might as well stop at the Suzuki dealership when driving by before heading out of town with a parents borrowed car, thank God I did cause I found just what I was looking for! I have had my car for almost two years now and I still love it. I don't have any complaints. I love the design inside and out, all the features especially the stereo controls and cruse control on the steering wheel. I don't know what the previous reviewers were comparing the Forenza's performance and quality to because for the price and all the options/ features it is awesome. I have never had a problem with the car not starting even in weather at 20 below. The wind noise is not bad at all even driving down the HWY at 80mpg with 50-60mph winds. Its a great little car, I love my Suzuki Forenza!"

"I got punk into the car, its the worse car that I have every own, like some in the cold winters of Indiana, the car would not start, after four hours it did I miss half a days pay and had too take the car in too the dealership. The say the drove it for ten miles and nothing happen, I try too get them too keep the car overnight and have one the techs try to start it the next moring, well they wouldn't and that morning samething, with only 3500 miles on it in less then a year, the car went back, it might have alots of standard features, but its not worth the model."

"Many problems, such as not enough air coming out of the defrost but instead coming out the main vents. Transmission noisy when really cold and in reverse, transmission slips sometimes (auto) , hood vibrates like it's loose on the highway, air conditioning has gone out twice and still not fixed. Terrible customer service, apparently, unknowledgeable service staff. Can't or wont fix anything unless they can get a computer read out to recognize it, usually can't. 3 or 4 recalls to date, i.e. safety issues, car did not offer cruise control and had to add it after-market. 24K mi. Wished I'd have bought a Hyundai like my friend."
