Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
I like the style of the Forenza, it flows but it still looks spicy, like most Suzuki styling.
The breaks are great, the pedal has a nice feel, and it stops in a quick 130 feet from 60-0 (which is great without ABS).
The engine is peppy when coupled with the manual tranny.
The space inside surprised me, and there is still a lot of trunk space.
It has a smooth ride.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
The paint wears easy on the door handles, but mainly on the inside of the door handles (which you don't really see), and the paint on the rest of the car seems to chip and scratch somewhat easy, but its not too bad.
The car also dents easily.
The gas mileage is OK, its not bad, but not super good either.
The shifter on the manual transmission acts weird sometimes, if you want a SUPER refined car, this isn't for you, but again it is not bad at all!!
2007 Suzuki Forenza Review:
So many people have problems with this car, and I don't doubt them. I have not have any problems other than one bent rim, which was fixed by the dealer we bought the car from (not a Suzuki dealer). It rides nice and smooth, although too bouncy at times. We have a little over 35000 miles on in and it has been problem free other than that one bent rim.
The majority of this car is actually made by GM-Daewoo auto and technology company (GMDAT) you can see this on the windows of the car, and under the hood. I don't think it's a bad thing, it's very obvious that Korean automakers are doing a better job at making cars!! I have been impressed by this car and hope to have many problem free miles.
I would highly recommend buying the manual transmission, it does not have all the problems that the automatic tranny does, plus it gets better gas mileage and has better acceleration. If you can't drive stick, just don't buy this car. There are too many problems with the auto.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
This review may be irrelevant because I think the Forenza Station Wagon has been discontinued. A pity because it is a great car for the money.
I bought mine at a dealer for next to nothing, with 9,000 miles on it, to replace my Honda Civic wagon of 325,000 miles, which I had mercifully smashed.
I now have 32,600 miles on this car, and it is perfect and totally reliable. For the price, there is no better bargain. Italian styling is great, brakes are excellent, and all amenities are nice.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Read the reviews. Most are fairly accurate.
Noise dampening is not good.
Suspension is a bit mushy. You will not take this car to the weekend drag races.
Air conditioning truly must work overtime above, say, 88 degrees OAT.
During the first week I owned it, the transmission (which actually is a bit rough) malfunctioned. The dealer sent for it, under warranty, and the problem, not actually in the transmission, was 3 wacky codes in the computer. Apparently not uncommon. Fixed quickly and promptly, with no problems since.
Fuel economy not great, but better than Suzuki claims. I get 36 on the Interstate, and 30 in mixed local driving.
2007 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Really, buy this car. I can not say enough good things, so long as you are sensible and realize exactly what it is that you are buying: a solid, sensible, reliable, stylish car for not much money.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Good on long distant driving.
OK in price.
Exterior looks, good from a distant.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Expensive to fix.
Parts are expensive.
Need more horse power.
Seal Transmission (no dip stick to check liquid level) making it difficult to add fluid (insane).
Better paint job is needed.
It goes with out saying that this car need to be recalled...
2007 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Overall, would not recommend this car to anyone... Consumers did not researched car appropriately... It lacks performance. Most importantly, for a fairly new car IT IS "TOO EARLY IN THE GAME TO HAVE SO MUCH ISSUES AND CONCERN!!!!!"

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Nice looking exterior.
Pretty roomy interior.
Seats are pretty comfortable for what it is.
Runs good.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Paint on exterior door handles is fading. Paint seems to scratch and chip easily.
Radio reception is very weak.
Interior door handle (driver door) just snapped off one day. Dealership says they stock these interior door handles because they break on the Forenzas all the time.
One bent rim, and when replacing the rim you cannot remove the tire pressure monitor from the old rim. The new rim does not come w/ the pressure monitor so you have to spend another 80. Some bucks to replace that. Trying to by maintenance parts is a joke.
Auto trans could be smoother.
2007 Suzuki Forenza Review:
Overall I like my Forenza. Okay, there are things about it that I dont care for. Auto trans shifts rough. when backing out of the driveway and then go to put it in drive I must completely stop and pause a couple seconds before moving forward (CHEAP) more so than in any other car I've driven. I've discovered that if the A/C freon is just 1/4 oz low (came off the line that way) it will not get the job done like it should. That 1/4 oz freon made all the difference. For the money seems to be a pretty good little car but I probably won't buy another Suzuki because they make it so hard to get parts at the usual chain parts stores. I do not want to be forced buy the manufacturer to have to pay dealer prices for parts. My Forenza has 36000 and change and it seems to serve me well but there are things about it that are just cheap and crappy.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
There were absolutely no pros to owning this car. This car is CRAP, and that is putting it nicely!
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
I have had so many problems with this car since I have owned it. I purchased this car brand new with only 17 miles on it. With in the first 3 months of owning the car, it was in the shop for problems with the check engine light. The service department claimed it was a sensor issue. Over the three years I owned this car it was "fixed" 6 times.
The car had zero get up and go. This made it hard to drive up hill without any sort of running start.
The straw the broke the camels back was a jerking issue I was having anytime I tried to accelerate. Last week the transmission finally locked up and would not shift out of park unless I used the key to first disable the transmission lock and popped the car into neutral then starting the car. This is not exactly safe to drive while toting around an infant. While the car was at least still running I traded it in for a laughable resale value. Trade in value for this soda can on wheels is about $5 and a pack of gum. I am now in a 2011 Accord and couldn't be happier with my new purchase.
I would only recommend this car for crash derby enthusiasts.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
I like that the interior of the car is roomy and because I live in Florida the A/C get really cold.
I love the volume on my CD player.
Gas only cost me about 40 dollars every two weeks.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
My problem is that I just brought this car and been in the dealership about 6 times for the engine to the seat belts. The car had only one owner before me and it seems like he or she never went to get the car check. The warming lights are coming on every 3 to 4 months. When it is really hot in Florida the car A/C seems like it doesn't want to work. It is very costly to repair.

It is an okay car but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Despite it's well known power deficit, the 2007 Suzuki Forenza has a lot of minor features and a spacious interior with a fairly low price if you don't finance. Again, trunk capacity is reasonable 12.4 with the rear seats that fold down.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
The driving experience is horrible and the car lacks any real power to keep up with the other vehicles on the road.
Over-the-road refinement and overall handling is poor. Its labored 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine wears fast, which results in costly and frequent repairs bills.
Try finding a dealership or part for the Forenza and you too will experiences the cons to owning this vehicle.
Review after review reports how the 2007 Suzuki Forenza is a Gas Guzzler! This vehicle is not fuel-efficient and burns oil quickly.
2007 Suzuki Forenza Review:
The 2007 Suzuki Forenza 4 door engine light continues to remain on and the transmission knocks when it is put in drive. The vehicle drops in speed to the point where it stalls and has problems going from 0-50 miles per hour which presents as a safety hazard. The air-bag light has illuminated since purchasing the vehicle and I was told that it automatically resets.
After doing research on the problem I noticed that the problems I am having with this vehicle are very common and this needs to be investigated further and perhaps a recall is in order.
Overall, I do not recommend this car and would encourage consumers to avoid the 2007 Suzuki Forenza!

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
Nice looking, has a nice design inside and out.
We are a 6 person family and sometimes we all pile in, LOTS OF ROOM for a smaller car.
Good, not great gas mileage (I don't know why these people are complaining, I get 30mpg), that's 350 miles on one tank.
It is very comfortable all around, good build quality, materials used are very nice.
GREAT PRICE, we have 30,000 miles on it and it is great.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Suzuki Forenza?
NOT MUCH.
Better paint job, seems like it scratches somewhat easily, but I have not heard any other complaints about it, so maybe it's just me. I would recommend giving it a good wax job when you get it, that has seemed to help some.

Bought this car a little over a year ago. It's been in and out of the shop with anything from transmission messing up not shifting to airbag light comes on and off.
NO HORSEPOWER at all.
The stereo sucks and the cd player quit working.
