Great ValueSource: Cars.com...It doesn't have the power of a V6 but it gets up and goes. In fact, it handles speed very well; especially turning corners and maintaining itself as a little giant on the freeway. The insulation is not that great as when you turn up the radio, you can hear it down the street with the doors closed. It is comfortable and has 15" wheels standard. Much better than 12 or 13 inches. I expect it will last a while with a great warrantee. Great value for the features. Although it would be nice to have cruise control and keyless entry standard on all of them. The 2007 base comes with these standard... |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2008 Suzuki Forenza competes in a class where price, features for the money, and running costs are everything.
Of these, the base Elantra and Spectra both come very well equipped; each of these vehicles additionally comes with side-curtain airbags.
The Elantra has a much more composed ride than the Forenza, while the Spectra is a little noisier inside but feels somewhat sportier.
The new, redesigned Lancer starts around $14,000 and doesn’t include a lot of standard features, but it’s much more fun to drive than the Forenza and has the roadholding and poise of a more expensive car.
Finally, there’s also the Dodge Caliber, which starts in a price range that competes with the Forenza but it has a more spacious, versatile interior and hatchback layout.
The Forenza wagon stands out in its class; it’s one of few small wagons left that hasn’t been replaced by a raised-roof crossover vehicle.
