New Forenza owner here. Wanted to post how much I like this car. First, I can't believe how reasonable they are. I paid 12300 for a base model with an automatic, which is pretty loaded out. I am 6'4" and the car is pretty roomy for a small car. I can fit my family of 5 in it ok. We been parking the Suburban and driving the Forenza more since the Gas prices are on the rise. The drivers seat is the most comfortable one I've tried in this class of cars. The audio system is awsome for a stock unit. I've read negative comments about the gas mileage but I am getting 27-28 mpg city/highway mix. This car was 3-4 thousand cheaper that an equivalent Civic so I can buy a lot of gas with that. 3500miles on it so far and the only issue I have had is that the speedometer reads 5-6 mph slower that a gps. And my dealer hasn't been able to find anything wrong of course. I have owned several Suzuki off road products through the years and they have all been great. Now it's time for a new RM dirtbike...

 

they are great cars, IMO. i feel that the engine has so much potential. too bad it is severely underpowered.
