With VW on board, I'd like to see Suzuki shoe-horn a space saving and lighter narrow angle VR6 on the Kizashi...a possible candidate I see would be the non-DI 3.2 VR6 (still in production) from the Audi TT and Golf Mk5 R32 (247hp), Transporter T5 and the outgoing Touareg 2....and possibly massaged f...

500 test drive miles...and to top it off, with the owner's kiddo driving?

That's equivalent to 5k miles of wear in my book.

Ditto, I'd rather go shop around first at other Suzuki dealers/check out other Kizashi offers before seriously looking into this..."Su-kizzy".

Have you tried an oil boy/fluid extractor pump to remove the oil via the dip stick tube?...It's an easier/less messier method than going down under the car and removing the belly pan, screws, unloosen drain plug (not to mention that occasional risk of stripping the bolt head), etc. http://ecx.images...

If you live in LA you're fairly close to Road//Race, and they are starting to make performance parts for the car. They claim to have the kizashi over 200 HP at the wheels, but I have yet to see a dyno sheet to support their claim. Is that stock at 200hp?.. :!: It didn't help that the gas in your st...

I hear ya NJKizashi...If I do get the Kizashi to replace my B5 Passat, the China made oil filter simply won't do for me as well. If you want to go German, how about cross matching the specs of the oil filter over at the Mann-Hummel website. Though I could be wrong (don't have any Kizashi oil filter ...
