Suzuki Forenza Ratings Overview
The average rating is a 3 out of 5 stars.

A Suzuki Forenza with 116,000 miles should go another 100,000 miles plus if the maintenance schedule is followed in the owners manual.

From my experience either of these should easily be able to reach 200k miles with little maintenance beyond normal maintenance. There is only one number to consider. Cost per mile. The Suzuki will probably provide the lowest cost all things considered.

You're getting a lot of car for a very reasonable price! Plus, it's packed with features that are optional on other cars. The ride and handling are great, and there's plenty of power for you.

Vehicle year: 2005
What a great deal! You can get a beautiful, comfortable, fully equipped, and convenient car with fantastic gas mileage. Plus, you'll never have to worry about buying another American-made auto. The 100,000 mile warranty is unheard of in the American car market, and the equivalent American car was $10,000 more expensive.

I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share my experience with this car. I bought it with 45k miles and just sold it at 112k. Overall, I had a great experience with this car. As long as you keep up with the maintenance, everything should be fine. Take care!

Vehicle year: 2006
I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your 2006 wagon! It sounds like it's a great fit for you, especially with your height and weight. The exterior styling is reminiscent of the Dodge Magnum, which is a cool touch. Plus, the 7-year, 100,000-mile warranty is definitely a selling point. The interior is nicely styled and you get a lot of accessories for a great value compared to other vehicles in this category. The fuel economy is superb and it handles the road really well. While it may not be the fastest car out there, it definitely gets the job done. The safety features are impressive and there's plenty of hidden storage and room for passengers. Overall, it sounds like an excellent car and I hope others are able to catch one too!

Pretty decent vehicle for the price! You have a sunroof and a few of the extras and it's a good car. It has pretty good fuel consumption compared to your old Ford Taurus and handles pretty well. If you find a good deal on it, it's definitely worth considering! You'll enjoy good visibility while driving, with only a couple of blind spots. Although there was one real problem with the car - it didn't start once in P but started when you put it in N.

If you're thinking about purchasing a Suzuki Forenza, it's important to test drive it multiple times. Please be aware that some 2006 models have experienced intermittent 'no start' issues. Additionally, the A/C output and acceleration may not be up to par. If you're 5'8
Otho Cormier 2024-10-08
Vehicle year: 2007
Hello! If you're considering buying this car, I wanted to share my experience with you. Unfortunately, I've had some issues with it. The transmission went out at 28,000 miles, even though I had purchased the extended protection plan. When I contacted Suzuki of America corp., they informed me that I would have to pay a dealership fee of $600 to replace parts that should have been covered under warranty. Additionally, I've had a number of other problems since purchasing the car brand new in 2007, including issues with the valve cover seal, cooling fan bolts, oil pressure sending unit, shocks and struts, rims, and cup holder. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you can make an informed decision. Thanks for reading!
Unique Gutkowski 2024-10-05
Vehicle year: 2005
I have been driving this car for some time now and unfortunately, I have had to visit the dealership once every 4 months for repairs. As someone who is used to Nissan's high quality, I am disappointed. I have noticed that the airbag light tends to turn on after a month of being fixed at the dealership. I am unsure whether I should pay $300 each quarter to fix it or ignore it. Additionally, the transmission is another common issue. If you enjoy seeing a lot of lights on the dashboard all the time, then this car may be for you. However, if you prefer a different manufacturer, I would recommend exploring other options.
