2005 Suzuki Forenza Review
Station wagon and 4-dr hatchback body styles join the sedan version of this compact car for 2005. The sedan and wagon are badged Forenza. The hatchback wears the Reno label. All come in S, LX, and top-line EX models. Their only engine is a 126-hp 4-cyl. S and LX come with manual transmission. Automatic transmission is standard for EX, optional for S and LX. All have front side airbags for 2005. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard. ABS is optional. Also standard are air conditioning, power windows/locks/heated mirrors, tilt steering wheel, CD stereo with steering-wheel controls, and 15-inch wheels. LX adds cruise control and keyless entry. EX has leather upholstery instead of cloth. Like other Suzukis, the factory warranty for Forenza and Reno includes roadside assistance and transferable 7/100,000 powertrain coverage with provision for a free loaner car.
