2006 Suzuki Forenza Reviews

I have a 2006 Forenza and at 30,000 my engine mounts came loose. I took it to the dealership because my engine just fell out going down the road one day. and the dealership told us it was because I had hit something.. We got that taken care of and determined that there was no cosmetic damage and that we hadn't hit anything, and now they are telling us that it is normal wear and tear on the car, and that the warranty or the extended warranty won't cover it..

I need a new front axle because of it, and when the engine dropped it broke my transfer case. Altogether they quoted us about $6000 to fix and the car isn't even worth that.. I have no idea what to do.

Battery wouldn't hold a charge when the car was brand new, almost causing me to be in a serious accident on a major highway.

The airbag indicator light continuously lit up, about 8 times, resulting in numerous trips to the dealer.

This car is junk, and I'm very sorry that I purchased it.

The battery not holding the charge was a very serious flaw that could have resulted in serious consequences for me i.e. accident/loss of life.

The dealer has a very dismissive attitude when I returned to talk to him about all the problems that cropped up during just the first 2 months of owning the car.

I will go out of my way to tell everyone who asks, what a piece of junk the Suzuki is, and to steer clear of buying one... ever!

The computer went out at about 52,235 miles.

Suzuki should have stiffened the suspension and gave it more horsepower and better fuel economy.

The engine light comes on occasionally when I forget to tighten the gas cap.

Starting the car in the morning takes a few tries and will not fire right away.

I use mid grade gas for this car, lowest grade reduces the power and the car struggles uphill.

The car handles pretty good for this size car.

I love the bucket seats, the interior could use a little upgrade. But overall its quite a comfortable car.

I have had no issues with any mechanical or structural damage from my car.

The check engine light is still an issue with Suzuki. It comes on for no apparent reason. Dealer has reset four times. I have thought about taking out the bulb.

The cars performance is what one should expect from a 2.0 four cylinder engine.

Very reliable, has never left me stranded.

Is capable of 125+ m.p.h. I have tickets and license suspension o prove it.

Transmission does a jerk when going from reverse to drive.

My air bag light was on all the time when I got the car. And the cel on after 300 miles of driving. took the car for scanning at dealer. they ordered new clock for the air bag warning light and new O2 sensor for CEL (check engine light) In two weeks they changed these parts and now the car is running very smooth, no air bag warning light after this. I am happy with the dealer service.

Put a performence k&N filter improved power and like the engine sound. Changed the cabin air filter, which was easy to do if you use a short screw driver.

Nothing has gone wrong with this car, mechanically. The paint is chipping off of the front bumper cover, but it had been in an accident and repainted by a third party, so Suzuki is not at fault for that.

A few squeaks and rattles. Some times the wiper arms don't come to a stop in the correct position when turned off.

I like the soft, but predictable handling. Rides like a much larger cars, but a little too soft around corners. The engine and trans are taking a huge beating from me, but so far no hick-ups. Great breaks BTW, 4 wheel disc works great on this car.
