Suzuki Forenza: Honda Civic
built 634 days ago
By offering handsome Italian styling and lots of standard equipment at prices made possible by building the car in Korea, Suzuki sees the Forenza succeeding as a "premium" car in the subcompact sedan arena. Taking on the Corolla, Honda Civic and Ford Focus is a tough task, for sure, but this Forenza is the only one in the group to be backed by an outstanding 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Suzuki markets the Forenza, above all, on its price tag. New Car Test Drivesays that "the Forenza sedan is designed to offer a strong value in a sea of value-priced compact sedans." U.S. News' reviewer Rick Newman says he's not sure if he could be persuaded "to pick a Forenza over vehicles with proven durability, like the Corolla or Civic, but it might get me into the showroom. And once there, I might do what I do at Wal-Mart: start buying stuff just because it seems too cheap to pass up."IntelliChoicegives the 2008 Suzuki Forenza four-door sedan a value rating of "Poor" based on the total cost of ownership compared to other vehicles in its class.
