The looks. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Suzuki Forenza?
Do not paint the exterior door handles. It is chipping off and is unattractive! How about chrome or fake chrome or better paint! They should make good quality interior door handles. The pieces of crap have been replaced and one of them broke again. Instead of replacing it for free --Like they should (RECALL). They want me to pay my deductible $100 to replace it! 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
I have to have my strut assembly worked on. So, other than the recalled door handles, there has been no problems. I am the 1st owner and I have about 63,000 miles and doing fine. |

Everything. 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Shortly after buying, had to have transmission work done. The coolant sensor has gone out and the alarm goes off when it wants to and the car will lock and unlock itself so never leave anything valuable in it. All interior lights have quit working. Radio volume control on steering wheel works when it wants to and the dealership that we bought the car from wants to work on it so we have to take it to the next town (an hour away) to get it fixed under the warranty. Door handles have been replaced once, having done again because the paint keeps coming off. Will never recommend this car to anyone. Tried to trade it in and no one will take it. Sucks to be me, I guess. |

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Cons: How would you improve 2006 Suzuki Forenza?
Better production of the car.
Better customer service when trying to get help with the junk that I'm trying to fix.
A better gas latch.
Better quality interior and exterior parts.
Actually, would probably change just about everything!! 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
I bought my Suzuki in June of '06. Just 1 year in the transmission line broke on us and left us stranded at 2:00 am over 3 hours away (of course was not covered under the warranty). We couldn't check the fluid because in order just to check it you need to put it on a lift! That is just ridiculous. How do they expect you to keep maintenance on your vehicle if you cant even access the major fluids! Just a few months later our radiator went (which also revolved around the transmission). Again, not covered by the warranty. And now the latest, just the other day my shifting sensor for the transmission went and my transmission pretty much died, and again NOT UNDER WARRANTY!!!! Granted, I know it was a fairly cheap car in its own way, but when we all have to work hard for our money, $16,000 doesn't come so cheap. (The car only has 49,000 miles on it.) I find it ironic how all of these problems are surrounding the heart of the car and NOTHING seems to be covered. The door handle snapped just getting out of the car which turned out to be a recall along with the SEATBELTS!!! Someone hit my car last year in a parking lot. She was right next to me so she barely tapped me and it completely caved in my entire driver door. Needed the whole panel replaced. This is definitely the poorest made vehicle that I have ever seen. It's like they just slapped the cheapest parts under the hood and threw some tin over the frame and called it a quality car, I think not. Is this really a safe reliable car that you would trust your loved ones in??? UH, NO!!!!! I WOULD NEVER, EVER RECOMMEND THIS <THING> TO ANYONE!!! |

I bought the car new in march of 06. The only issue that I have really had is that no matter how many times that the dealer fixes it, for free, the airbag light continues to come on. They state that it is because the sensor is below the seat. Crappy engineering. The car rides and drives much smoother than my previous 03 Protege, although the Mazda had it beat hands down in the sporty department. It now has 44000 miles and so far so good. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Suzuki Forenza?
I agree with power and mileage from many other reviews. Resale value is trash, so if you buy one new plan to keep it until it's paid for. I have the manual, which I think is better based on others reviews of the tranny, but the manual has very long throws and not very performance oriented. 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Good car for the money. No major issues, needs more power, yet better mpg. With all of the complainers, I am wondering what someone expects from a brand new car with tons of features for less than 15k. If you wanted a Honda or Toyota you should have shelled out the cash for one. |

Better A/C and heater- not enough cooling in the summer, not enough heat in the winter
Engine turns too fast- 3,000 RPM at 60MPH- should be 2500 at 70 mph- would improve gas mileage |

make bodykits,better performance, new look like a suburu with hood scoop, better clutches and transmissions that hold up the power of a mustang, turbochargers and superchargers, more aftermarket look and sound. 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:

Needs to be a little quicker, and there needs to be a plastic rock guard and not a painted one that can chip. 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
I switched to this from a Nissan Xterra, I miss the Xterra power and handle. But the Suzuki has an awesome warranty and a good price. |

Great money value for roominess for small car. Styling. Responsive steering/handling. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Suzuki Forenza?
gas milage should be higher for this class of car. Doesn't hold value as long as competition. 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
I think alot of reviews short change the Forenza. I sat and drove alot in the class and interior trim, standard equipment and roominess were better in the price class (Dodges, Chevy, Ford) The price of new Toyota & Honda's sometimes make it hard to justify 2-3 extra thousand. (we will see it it pays off). Interior noise was a bit more than I like. |

A bit more horsepower (though adequate) amd a few more mpg. Not major complaint, but would help; 2006 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Great in and out; inside is amazingly roomy an comfortable; fit and finish is excellent in and out; combines the best of soft and sporty when riding; it seems like it is built with quality in mind; time will tell, if it does, this car is a real winner esp. for the unbelievable price; so many standard features it is unbelievable. Yes, I would buy one again! |
