Shopping for a 2008 Suzuki Reno? MSRP: $13,839 - $15,939

SEE LOCAL CLASSIFIEDS

 

The front-drive Reno compact hatchback sedan is based on the Forenza and is also manufactured in South Korea. Largely a carryover for the 2008 model year, the Reno will be discontinued in the near future as Suzuki plans new products for the U.S. market.

 

The standard drivetrain remains the 2.0-liter, 127-horsepower engine also used in the Forenza, with the buyer's choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission with adaptive control system that alters shift points and firmness to match driving conditions.

 

The Reno 's interior is larger than many competitors and it is priced very competitively as well. New equipment for 2008 includes steering-wheel audio controls on the Convenience package, and optional Bluetooth connectivity across the lineup.

Why should I also consider these? X

A well-optioned 2008 Suzuki Reno competes with Suzuki's own SX4, which has standard all-wheel drive, along with better real-world fuel efficiency, handling, and safety than the Forenza.

In fact, the Suzuki-made SX4 is better in just about every way but interior space.

Kia's Spectra5 is also much more entertaining to drive than the Forenza and has much better fuel economy.

Then there's the Dodge Caliber, a more upright design that pays off in a roomy interior; if you're willing to spend more, the Caliber has a wide range of innovative available options, such as fold-out tailgate speakers.
