This car is economical with gas. It gets you to where you want to go in a relaxed way. I love it so much.

We bought this 2008 Suzuki Forenza new. We took it back to the dealer three times within the first 3 months for them to check the transmission. It was shifting from one gear to the next unpredictably. When driven down hill it jumps into gears. When driven up hill it drags then jumps into gears and will excelarate unpredictably. The mechanics in the Suzuki dealership told us the car will stop doing this after 6K miles that because it was new this was expected and normal. It is past the 6k mile point, we have about 12k miles on the car and we still have the same unpredictable shifting and excelaration I am not comfortable driving this car any more and am wondering why there hasnt been a reca

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?!
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.

I bought my little 2004 Suzuki Forenza for $1200 from a used car lot in 2014, with 163k miles and a wreck on the car fax, to give me a gas saver alternative to my 1978 GMC C1500. Bought this car knowing the water pump was out, and it would over heat if not driven carefully. Replaced the water pump and timing belt for $120 and changed it myself, and proceeded to be a typical young 20s driver and drove the absolute garbage out of it. I jumped railroad tracks, took it off road, took on the interstate at 100mph, raced friends and even towed a 1993 Ford F150 about 10 miles with it. I couldn't kill this car! I carried a jump pack with me after about 4 months because the ORIGINAL batter finally stopped holding a charge. Eventually, my negligence got the best of me, the transmission started slipping, which would have been fine except I passed somebody and lost 4th gear entirely, over revved the engine and blew the timing set. I mean there were pieces of cam gears all over the engine bay. Scrapped it for $86, towed, and called it a day. I just hope I gave that car a good swan song.
