Introduced for the 2005 model year, the 5 door Reno hatchback looks a lot like a Forenza wagon, only nicer looking.  This model combines two qualities that young people can appreciate: style and value.  Suzuki markets the Reno's roomy interior and long list of features.

Keep in mind that when it comes to power, you get what you pay for with this model.  As of 2007, the Reno sports a 2.0 L, 127 4 cylinder engine that makes a good amount of noise.  Interior features and materials don't match the industry leaders either.  However, if you're into tuning, the Reno can provide a good inexpensive base upon which you can build.
