"This car is more irritable than I am in the mornings! It is a 2007 with 2k miles and every morning it doesn't want to start. Actually, it doesn't want to start at all if it has sat for more than 3-4 hours. Naturally, the dealership can't find anything wrong. Usually, it just sputters after first starting it, but today there was nothing! The dash lights came on, but there was no ignition. The motor would not spin over. It was as if the battery had been completely disconnected. It is going back to the dealership again for third time in two months. It is amazing that my 1996 Accord (160K miles) starts every time, but the brand new Forenza won't. To make things worse, the trade value dropped to just over $8K. So, we have to keep it for awhile. It is a good thing it has an awesome warranty, because I have a feeling it is going to get used quite frequently. Our Toyota is greatly missed. We are glad that we have the very reliable Honda as a back up car, since the very unreliable Forenza is going to be in and out of the shop."

"I just bought my Forenza last Wednesday and it's just beautiful. Going to show it off at church today and Monday at work!!! Hope this feeling lasts as a lot of people seem to have problems with it not starting in the morning. But so far, so good!!"

"We've had the car for several months now and it replaced our Toyota Corolla. Because we have the wagon, it has more utility for do-it-yourself projects, dogs, and bikes (on top). It actually drives almost as nimbly as my BMW 325i, which is saying something. Better gas mileage than an SUV and almost as much utility. We put a log of mileage on the car (about 500 miles per week) and it seems to hold up to work quite well."

"Took home new Wednesday and Thursday Morning it wouldn't crank. Reported to dealer that after car sits overnight it doesn't want to go. Will follow up on the service and dependablity of car. If I had it to do again I wouldn't buy it. For the price it's a good deal and you would think a new car wouldn't have any problems. Do yourself a favor buy anything but this."
