Used 2008 Suzuki Forenza Sedan Consumer Reviews
You'll regret getting this one
I got this back in March with 51,000 miles. The speakers are blown out, windows off track, airbag and check engine light are always on when car is on, the transmission slips. It wont go into reverse half the time, the air/heat wont completely turn off, it makes a bad noise when turning sharp to the right. Does anyone know what to do to get the engine light to go off and stay and the transmission to stop whacking out? I've been told it could be the transmission fluid but no local shop can do it cause it's a foreign car. I've been told transmission sensors or a new trans as well and even a catalytic converter problem.
Road Hazard
Engine Light ON and breaks fail before 30,000 miles. NOT WORTH THE MONEY

Awful after 50k
After 50 k. Water pump went. Check engine light would not turn off. Radio stopped. Engine blew at a 90k. Transmission thumped . Leaked oil through seals. Door lock broke. Had to exit through passenger side. Shame on suzuki for allowing daewoo to manufacture this vehicle.

Can I Give It Back??
I have been less than impressed with this vehicle. I feel like I am driving a manual transmission because it jerks pretty severely when you step on the gas. I had to have my speakers replaced because they blew out - I don't blast my radio! My fuses blew out on my cigarette lighters and turn signals within a year. My engine light is on again, this time due to a bad transmission sensor! The gas mileage is horrible! I was in a pinch and needed a new car, but at this point, I would have been better off keeping my old one!
Airbag Issue?
Our Suzuki was totaled out after an older Ford Explored hit the driver side on March 19th of this year. None of the airbags deployed. I loved my car. I doubt I will ever buy another just for that fact. A co-worker has an 07 Forenza...was hit by a deer...twice, within a a few months of each other. Practically the same spot on car, and location within her community; and neither time did the airbags deploy. How can you trust a car that isn't protecting you?!
