Best car I've ever owned.

Incredible gas mileage , never has failed me I have put 30,000+ miles in it in a little over a year. Well worth every penny plus.

?Linen ?

Unfortunately we bought two (2) of the 2004 forenzas, they both are a piece of }?~^~�. Both of them have to be repaired before passing smog, the Check Engine light come on randomly making it impossible to pass smog check without a trip to the dealer for costly repairs.

Great car for the price.

Perfect starter car. Great value for the price. I have enjoyed my time with this vehicle. Both of my car seats fit fine in the back seat.

CAR EXCEED WHAT I PAID FOR IT

I AM THE OWNER OF THIS CAR AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS CAR HAS BEEN GREAT FOR THE SEVEN YEARS I'VE OWNED. IT HAS ALL OF THE BELLS AND WHISTLES STILL IN GREAT WORKING CONDITION- NO ISSUES. I'VE DILIGENTLY KEPTED UP ON ALL OF THE MANTENANCE. MY PARENTS TAUGHT US HOW TO LOVE AND RESPECT OUR THINGS & THE PAY OFF WOULD BE GREATER & LAST LONGER. MAKE AN APPT TO SEE THE CAR-I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE SORRY. IT REALLY IS A GREAT CAR.

No problems with Forenza 2004

I bought my Forenza used, 90.000 miles, two years ago. I am still with the car and will keep it, at least, for two more years. The car never broke, no mechanical problems. The only regular expense is the oil change. I don't understand of people complaining about changing tires, air filters or checking brakes. I did that for every car I had before and the Forenza is no exception. But I can't count that as a bad thing. Looks like in the US the cars had to come from God himself and never have anything to do for years and years. This is not real anywhere and wouldn't be real here.

Wrong investment

There are bunch of problem going almost every day. Check Engine Light come at 32,000. It coming and coming back at the same time, June each year. I fix everything through the dealership, they are nice people, and that is not their fault, there is Suzuki quality. Overall, that is the WORST car that I had in my life, 8th or 10th car. Do not buy it! FORENZA is a biggest scam that I have in my life. (It?s sad, since I bought this junk only because I had Esteem, which was a extremely good car.)

the worst car I have owned

purchased the vehicle in 2006. In July 2007 it started having a hard start problem. Took it to two dealerships and contacted Suzuki manufacturer, and they are still unable to fix it. It is now February 2008 and I am stuck paying for a car that does not run. Customer service is of no help.
