This distinctively styled tall-roof compact sedan and sporty SX hatchback are updated for 2005 with a revised front bumper and grille, fog lamps, and new alloy wheels. An analog instrument panel and a restyled steering wheel and center console now grace the vehicle's interior. Power across the line comes from a 155-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that's fitted to a choice of either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Both front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available, and air conditioning, a CD stereo, fog lamps, power mirrors and windows, a rear defroster, and tilt steering wheel all come standard.
Forenza
2004 Suzuki Forenza |
You may remember this same basic vehicle as the Daewoo Nubira back when Daewoo was selling cars under its own name in the U.S. The compact Forenza is built in Korea by General Motors' Daewoo's manufacturing subsidiary (GM also has an equity stake in Suzuki). As with its Daewoo predecessor, the Forenza offers attractive exterior styling that's been penned by the Italian design firm Pininfarina. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 125 horsepower, and drives the front wheels via either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. While it's far from being a sporty car, the Forenza nevertheless rides on MacPherson struts up front and a dual-link suspension in the rear, with variable-assist power steering. Front and front-side airbags are added across the line for 2005, and a station-wagon version is newly offered for added utility. Four-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, a CD stereo, and power locks, windows, and heated mirrors are standard across the line.
