Re: 2012 Kizashi AWD with Manual Transmission???

It is a nice white, I'll admit it, but detailing white while shatter the self confidence of any detailer. Obviously you haven't tried black. I can do wonders on black and red. What is a major pain with black is keeping it swirl free ;) White is easier to maintain, but to make it "pop", oh...

Re: 2012 Kizashi AWD with Manual Transmission???

Welcome to the forums! I would love to tell you that a MT with AWD is in the books for 2012. But that would be like selling you "liquid lipids from an ofidious reptile" ;) Not for 2012 unfortunately. Probably not even in this generation Kizashi. If there was a combination of MT with beige ...

Re: Horn

I also got mine, waiting to be installed ;) The observation of the horns not working until they are mounted is totally true, they are "case grounded" meaning the bolt closes the circuit. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean.

Re: Turn Signal Flasher Relay

Without looking at the schematic, I would bet it is electronic. In fact, if I remember it correctly, there is no flasher module, it is controlled by the BCM. Let me check the schematics and will reply back with the right answer ;)

Re: Considering the Kizashi

OP - If you have a lust for power, I would stay away from the Kiz... for now. I bought mine because I wanted a AWD sedan with lots of options for under $30K... which is exactly what I got. For awhile I let the off-the-line lag (and despite what you will be told by some on here, it is VERY noticeabl...

Re: Considering the Kizashi

Ray Suzuki in Northeast Illinois has sales in the fall on S model kizashis. The price is normally like 14995. Thats not including tax title etc etc etc but I doubt his price was including that either. You are correct. I did purchase it from Ray Suzuki at Fox Lake. They had a construction sale back ...

Re: Considering the Kizashi

I drove a base S version and was genuinely surprised by its performance and, yes, refinement. Have been calling local and not-so-local dealers inquiring about the price of a 2011 SE FWD CVT and was quoted a "solid" price of >$25000 by Great Neck Suzuki. Responded that that price seemed op...

Re: why did you buy your KIZASHI

Yep...it was tough to find, but I actually managed to get an SLS in manual in the color that I wanted (silver). The reasons why I bought: -Great interior...loved the SLS trim, the quality, and all the features it came with for the price. -Great handling while still having a decent ride. -Came in ma...

Re: Anyone autocross/track their Kizashi?

If you didn't buy that GTS tell me who has it and I'll buy it on the spot! Very attractive prices have offered on the Kizzies, but $15.5 k for a GTS is unheard of :o
