Used 2007 Suzuki Forenza Consumer Reviews
Great economy car
I bought this car with 45k miles and I just sold it once I had 112k. Overall this car was great, as long as the maintenance is done, all should be fine.

Bought it new
I bought My 2007 Suzuki Forenza brand new with 47 miles on it As a gift for my wife. It's been in the shop twice once for the A/C Compressor and the second time for the 5 speed shifter linkage...It only has 66k miles on it now and has been super reliable it still has the original Clutch in it. They all have tire issues..I went with a 195/60R that seemed to take care of the tire issues and for some reason the front carpet just deteriorated.. I think that's a common problem with 2007 Forenzas but it's an emergency backup car now..I use it to drive to my rig from time to time NO ISSUES FOR NOW (KNOCKONWOOD)..

poor gas mileage
I bought a 2007 forenza in Dec.11th 2011,it had 49,515 miles on it then and now on Sept. 25th I have 60,371 miles on it. How is that possible when I don't go anywhere. The furthest I have been in this car is 25 miles one way. Never been out of the state of ohio, gas burns really fast, took it to dealer spent 1400 in repairs the biggest was trans range sensor,timing belt, serpentine belt 2 tires,tune up, oil change,etc, not satisfied , after repairs cold start has car knocking was not doing that before service work. Dealer wants to keep it to check it out, used mile markers on highway for every 1 mile I got 2.3 miles how can this be. I need help.
Junk door handles
Three of the four interior door handles broke off, but since the chinzy warranty of 3yrs, 36K miles expired they were not covered, so I crazy glued them all back together. Also, paint is peeling off the exterior door handles, and I baby this car, dont drive in snow or ice, and wash and wax often. It's impossible to service the antifreeze, transmission, and drive belts yourself. The car drives ok, but doesnt get as good gas mileage as my 1970 dodge dart, which got close to 30mpg on highway, this one gets 26, and I tune it and maintain it myself.
my daughter hates this car!!!
we bought this car for our daughter in 6/07 with 23 miles, she nows hates this car we have had 3 bent rims , vibrations, repainted door handles, transmission jerking, gas light indicator out,plus several different other things wrong the old saying you get what you pay for is definitely true in the case of this car..very disappointing to make such a big purchase and it turn out to be such a lemon, it is cute, roomy ,comfortable and fairly reasonable on gas but we would NEVER by another suzuki. Good Luck to everyone
