The 2006 Suzuki Forenza Wagon has been a good car. It has great power and drives great. I got it for a good price.
Story
We were camping and it flooded so we were stuck. We used the hooks under the rear of the car to pull it out with a tractor.
Pros
There is plenty of room for all of my camping gear. I have two small children and their car seats are massive so again the space is awesome! The Suzuki gets fairly good gas mileage to be a station wagon. I also love that it has the rack on top for holding canoes or kayaks. The interior is great, I love the cloth seats! Also the car has anchors for the massive car seats I have. And it has the feathers behind the seats. I like how the spare tire is below the back floor in the hatch.
Cons
The cons on the Suzuki is this year several of the hoses on the car have busted and I've had to replace them. Last year the radiator busted and that had to be replaced. The ERG valve was also leaking coolant. The back light fixtures were both containing water and kept shorts the bulbs out so I've replaced several bulbs. I finally drilled holes in the bottom of them so they will drain the water out instead of it condensing on the inside.

I enjoyed this car while I owned it. It was very spacious, plenty of room for passengers as well as luggage or groceries. It was rough on gas. I was in a bad car accident and this car protected me. Even though the outside of the car was destroyed the cab around me was intact. I would say this is a very safe car, it would be good for a family.
Story
Driving all my friends to St. George beach, everyone rode comfortably due to how roomy the car is.
Pros
Safe, spacious
Cons
Long, bad on gas

The Forenza's cabin was something of a mixed bag, too. It was spacious, with lots of stylish metallic accents, but this was offset by inconsistent materials quality and an overall lack of refinement and quality compared with class leaders. If you can get past that, there was lots of rear legroom for adults and a 60/40-split-folding seatback for extra utility. The sedan provided 12 cubic feet of trunk capacity, with the wagon offering nearly 62 cubic feet of space with the rear seat folded. Changes were slight during the Suzuki Forenza's run. For 2005, side impact airbags became standard for all Forenzas. The Forenza was freshened up a bit for 2006, receiving a new front fascia, redesigned seats, new wheels and revised trim levels. Bluetooth became available for 2008.
Pros
I really like the fact that there are multiple cupholders. Spacious back seat.
Cons
On the road, the Suzuki Forenza exhibited soft, rubbery handling and a poor ride quality compared with its competitors, as well as excessive wind noise on the highway. Although it was compliant enough, it exhibited little suspension control over bumps and ruts. Handling around corners was loose and unsure, with excessive body roll and minimal grip from the tires. When merging into traffic, automatic-equipped Forenzas accelerated weakly, and any such maneuver took some advance planning. I love this car!!
