Re: Yeah, I'll do it again. Will you?

The Lancer Ralliart looks kind of good but I'm afraid it would be jumping from one orphan car to another. I hope I'm wrong but Mitsubishis future in the US doesn't look promising. I agree. They are quite confusing about it too. They keep talking about staying and released the Mirage. Their sales ha...

Re: DIY CVT Filter Change and Flush

Interesting that Suzuki doesn't call for any filters in their instruction manual. Only parts listed are fluid and the drain plug gasket. I wonder how they even crossed reference a part number.

Re: Considering buying a Kizashi, Specific concerns

I'd stay away from anything tagged a lemon. Not easy to get that recognition, so if it has it be wary.

Re: deer is venison, kizzie is toast

With a heavy heart, I report that a deer attacked my Kizzie and caused so much damage that my insurance company wrote it off. They gave me very close to the Cdn blue/black book value. This is "yezzaboss" signing off this excellent forum That's a real shame. Deer are some of the dumbest cr...

Re: Headlight Bulb Replacement

If you have access to a volt meter, verify you have power at the bulb first, then go back from there.

Re: Headlight Bulb Replacement

If you have freakishly tiny hands, maybe LOL. But yes, you have to drop the bumper. Not the best engineering design by Suzuki. I'm used to it now.

Re: Goodbye to the club

I don't think the issue is that there are no parts. I think it's the cost and time to get the parts that's making insurance companies/and or the body shops say it's totaled. I can order anything I need from Japan. It will cost 3 times as much and take 3 months to arrive, but I can get it.

Re: have I made a mistake

As all have said, don't worry! I have an awd se, going in 100k miles. Not one glitch. I live in PA as well, so I have the pleasure of driving on bad roads during the winter. Maintainance is super easy, inexpensive. Do your regular maintenance, wash it, watch for deer, it should last a long time.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

So here I was enjoying the Kizzy after the above mentioned chores and yes I'll say it, admiring the Kizzy photos, when I noticed this: IMG_20151108_114737418_HDR.jpg Does anything look off???? The V shape tread pattern is going in the wrong direction! After closer inspection the tire shop had mount...
