Re: Kizashis are a Super Investment

I'm in Washington (The State of) and the first year for my 2010 SLS, they valued it at $31,500 but I paid $25,500. When I questioned them they just pointed at a list they had and said "move on".

Re: KBB depreciation value of the Kizashi...

I don't know what book you are referring to, but my Blue Book (2011 November) shows my 2010 SLS with AWD at $21,067 "for sale by individual". Never, never trade a car to dealer, unless it has serious problems.

Re: what are the chances ?

I have owned my 2010 SLS sense February 2010 and never seen another Kizashi in Washington (state of). We traveled to Oregon and Nevada and still have never seen one. I'm beginni9ng to think they didn't sell well here. The dealer I purchased mine from has quite carrying them and does not ever service...

Re: Horn

I purchased a set of 3 small "air horns" from Harbor Freight for $25, mounted then right next to the factory set and wired them into the existing electrical. They work great, sound like a Italian super car and scare the h**l out of people.

Re: Anyone else have issues with OEM tire tread wear?

I checked mind today after reading this post. I have a 2010 SLS AWD with 17,500 miles. Front are 6/32" and rear are 7/32" and I rotate them as stated in the manual. This is about the ware I would expect from 18" V rated tires. Jerry 2010 SlS, 1983 BMW 633CSi, 1977 Mercedes-Benz 280SL

Re: Push Start Button - Engine Cranks for at least 10 second

:lol: Well, I had our 2010 SLS pull this trick today for the first time. After about 6 to 7 seconds it started and ran fine. I stopped at the dealer to ask if they were aware of any other Suzuki's with this malfunction. They were not. They had not seen this at all. They checked with Suzuki USA, and ...

Re: Mileage distance indicator after filling tank

Well, I think I have this figured out, maybe!!! Before our Kizashi, we hade a 2000 Cadillac Eldorado, that had the same feature of indicating “mileage left until tank empty” but Cadillac knew the people that purchased their cars wanted to know exactly what that was, always. The Japanese think you on...

Performance chip from GF

I have seen a performance chip addition for the Kizashi on the internet under www.gfchips.com/suzukikizashi.aspx that speaks to 4 to 7 mpg increase plus 60 hp increase and only requires 15 minutes to install plus does not effect the warranty. QUESTION: Has anyone tried this and if so what were the r...

Mileage distance indicator after filling tank

I have a easy question to other Kizashi owners. On the instrument panel that displays the estimated distance remaining on the fuel, what is the highest number you have seen after filing the tank. Mine never goes above 330 and I can easily drive 450 to 500 miles on the highway and the low fuel light ...
