Re: New member, need some info on MPG

I have had my Kizashi for 15 months and have averaged 22.2 mpg city; 31.8 high way and 24.3 mpg overall driving. I live in Edgewood, Washington and it is hilly. Try not taking off quite as fast and your mileage will improve.

Re: clicking/ engaging sound from transaxle?

Mine has had this little noise sense new and nothing has changed. I spoke to the Service Manager and he indicated it was normal. The car continues to preform flawlessly. I'm not concerned.

Re: car slows down really quickly when coasting

However, on long down hill grades this feature helps save on brakes. Our old 2000 Cadillac would run freely when going down hill and boy did it go through brake pads at about $150.00 each. My father-in-law used to shift his old 49 Ford into neutral or push in the clutch to save gas when going down h...

Re: Having major probelm with my Kizzy

When the factory representative was out and reviewed my concerns about the possible paint he informed me ours was the 82nd car produced. This came from paperwork he had with him. He also indicated it was manufactured for the initial introduction of the Kazishi for the dealer therefore special attent...

Re: JD Powers and Assoc Survey

We were part of their initial survey in March 2010 after we purchased our SLS. We received the survey in the USPS. Seemed to be a very comprehensive document.

Re: Having major probelm with my Kizzy

Ours has a 10/09 date and was the 82nd car built. We have never had even a hick-up out of anything, not even a paint chip anywhere. The radio system works great and the speakers sound fine. I understand these first cars (first 125)were special built for the dealers "show room introduction"...

Re: maintenance

:) My dealer recommends every 5,000 miles or 6 months for Mobil 1 synthetic 5w- 30. I also always replace the filter with a Suzuki OEM. I have 12,600 miles and the car has no problems. Oil does not ware out, it just gets dirty and has acids in it. Jerry 2010 SLS - 1977 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, 1983 BMW ...
