Consumer Review Video - 2005 Suzuki Forenza LX 2.0L 4 Cyl. Wagon

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2005 Forenza

The 2005 Suzuki Forenza LX is a relatively easy car to maintain. Nearly all of the headlights can be accessed by simply reaching behind the bulb housing, allowing for very reliable bulb changes. The brake fluid reservoir has very open access, allowing you to monitor its fluid level with ease. The spare tire and jack kit can be quickly accessed in the trunk, so set-up when fixing a flat shouldn’t be a problem.

However, the 2005 Suzuki Forenza LX does have its pain points. The second parking light does not have reliable access, as the wheel well lining will need to be removed in order to reach it. The cabin air filter also has difficult access, as its cramped location may create problems when trying to reach it. The non-LED center brake light will require more maintenance over time than similar models will, and access to it will be rather tedious.
