2008 Suzuki Forenza consumer reviews

This car did meet all needs, plenty of leg room, inside gas/trunk ejected from inside, gas saver. Great car to get you where you need to be.

engine got overheated and after a pause on starting a strange sound emanated from the engine. its was quite a bad experience for me. being a first timer in suzuki

I love that I was able to drive to Milwaukee and back. Which is about an hour drive. It's my mom car sense if fits so much.

Suzuki is a good brand and reliable except for the performance. But nothing that doesn?t justify the value

At 109,000 miles my Forenza had basically died. The tire pressure light would go on and off, the antifreeze was leaking out of the water pump (which had been changed recently) or head gasket, the throttle body was shot, and it had a hard time starting whenever it got muggy or wet outside. The only good thing about this car is that it was hard to lock your keys inside.

Roomy, Dependable, Comfortable, Fun to Drive , Cheap to Buy and Run Interior is great, Exterior is Great, Mpg is disappointing however but considering the value additions you tend to forget that

I bought the 2008 Suzuki Forenza July of 2012 with only 61k miles on it, now it almost has 80K miles on it. This is my first car that i bought, i've been drawn to the Forenza mainly because there isn't very many of them around. This is a GM Daewoo car branded as a Suzuki, its also branded as a Chevy, Holden, & Daewoo. I checked the CARFAX and its been well maintained. I upkeep the maintenance by getting regular oil changes and tire rotations. This car has been really good for me and is very reliable, never had a mechanical problem. I do alot of driving in the car since i do transporting, sometimes driving 400 miles in half a day or driving 1000+ miles for nearly 15 hours straight. This car handles driving 75mph on these TX highways with no problems. From a full tank to half quarter tank i manage to squeeze out 280 miles on its range (going 75). Doing the math is about 28 mpg, it may not be impressive today but for me its no big deal and im glad that it runs well and im not too harsh on it for that. Everything inside the car works as it should with no complaints, the A/C is freezing cold and the steering wheel is kinda small. The cruze control works perfectly for those long trips. It is a great car, they are cheap and many have low mileage. I really enjoy driving the Forenza. You know having the windows rolled down, music playing, wind brushing through the car....there is nothing like the feeling of cruising down the highway with the sun setting in the west, just you, your car, and the open road. Its an experience. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. I hope to drive this car for more years to come.

Bought the car with 9,000 miles on it. Within a year had to have the transmission rebuilt.(Warranty) Then AGAIN right after the warranty was up (of course) it starts skipping third gear just as it did before.

I brought this car from a dealer with 36,000 miles on it and it runs decent. No problems so far. Wont recommend it for long trips, since its not getting more than 30mph.....

The Easy Care Gold Warranty is not worth the paper it is written on and it cost me 1200.00 -the car had 5 miles on it & was purchased new. If you want to throw money to the wind buy a Suzuki, Forenza. The dealership went out of business within a year - the only people that work on it are limited. The transmission started slipping at less than 44,000 miles - its now in the shop at the time of this review -the warranty covered the sensor 144.13 and my portion is 354.00. I bought a car with warranty so that if something sucah as this happened - the expense would be minimal. But that didn't occur. When this car is paid off - needless to say it will be out of my yard. This has been a really learning experience.
