Re: 2012 Kizashi
I would hope that Suzuki would make leather interior available in the SE, since the GTS and SLS both have sunroofs, and cut headroom too much for me. I'd also like to see them upgrade the radio systems to make Bluetooth standard, and use a real color LCD screen that could display more information. i...

Re: MPG?
my Kizzy has about 11,500 miles on it now, and it seems to have reached a whole different plateau of fuel economy: I now am seeing over 30 MPG on a regular basis in highway driving, and 24+ MPG in a mix and suburban driving. I am a pretty demanding driver, and usually am the first to sprint from a s...

Driving a Nissan Altima while the Kizzy is being painted...
Suzuki is in the process of painting my car, and they have given me a 2011 Nissan Altima S 4cyl CVT to drive while the Kizzy is in the shop. I'd like to share a few impressions of the car. It's roomy and well-finished. with a nicely-styled interior. I wasn't much of a fan of the digital instrumentat...

Re: Kizashi stereo
I suspect that the previous amplifier in your Kizashi had a defect, and Suzuki was aware of it. No matter what amplifier you use, once you hear the amp beginning to distort, you will end up with a speaker failure eventually if you continue to allow the system to distort. Boosting the bass control., ...

Re: Kizashi stereo
I have been in the audio business in one form or another for over 35 years, and one thing I have learned about stereo speakers: no one blows them out because you run too much power through them. You blow out speakers because you drive the amplifier into clipping, or overload distortion, which cause ...

Re: MPG?
I did a little experiment today on a trip from Springfield, MA to Boston on the Mass Pike : instead of driving at my usual pace of 75-80 MPH on this trip, I set the cruise control on 65 MPH exactly. The route that I take to the South Shore of Boston from my home is 102mi, and, with the cruise contro...

Re: Kizashi vs. Acura TSX
The TSX is a very nice car, but the back seat is uninhabitable. As for the Kizashi paint issue: I have an early production 2010 SE AWD Kizashi which has paint problems, but Suzuki has agreed to repaint the front of the car for me, so, on, balance, I can't complain.
