I have not had to deal with a Suzuki dealer yet. No issues with my car in the few months I've owned it as a pre-owned vehicle.

When I drove my former Mazda, the dealership did not have a loaner car, but paid for their customers to rent a car from Enterprise which was located a few stores down.
Mazda paid for me to rent a Volvo XC70 when I had my clutch replaced.

Hi Guys. I was reading OzzieKizzy's post about how it seems that his car's performance improves with age. Does anyone out there think that the car "breaks in" and/ or maybe the CVT "learns" your driving routine?? I have a 2012 SLS Azure Gray with about 6K miles now. It would be great to get some comments.

I think that's true - as it generally is with most cars, although the Dunlops seem to be getting noisier/rougher.

Adding to my kizashi blues:
1) interior curtisy lights stopped working

Last tank (and recent others) just over 26 MPG.

Finally put a scratch on the windshield; good-sized rock still didn't break through. Tough glass.

Zero issues. Like my Kizashi.


Paint, even though it's 2013, still attached.

I last posted on the 16th, and that night my left headlamp failed.
Brought it to the dealer yesterday Thursday the 17th, and for $80 they replaced it.
Happy again.


I mean come on, if THAT's the only thing I've done in 72,700 miles I'm friggin' happy, ay?

Yeah; last tank 25.4 MPG, not bad considering the artic cold that's gripped us recently (and those 80--105 MPH runs up the Interstate 8-) ).

Everything still perfectly fine. Good heater. The Goodyear WRT snows are maintaining their grip.



Paint, albeit filthy, still attached.

771 days 73,907 miles datsalotta miles, ay?

Last tank 23.8MPG, terrible, but considering my current 'style', still not bad (extended warm-up sessions, heavy pedal applications).

I had a recent scare at 73,700; thought my rear brake on the drivers side had finally succumbed to my monster-braking (and high miles) behavior.
Horrific scraping noises.

Wrongo!
It was just that little plastic deflector in front of the rear wheels getting ripped off one side and pushed into the tire.

'Ripped off how', you ask?
Why, racing at high speed down a slushy dirt road, the kicked-up debris peeled that thing back (not the first time it's happened. The other side already has custom hardware holding it on :mrgreen: ).

Other than that, still one fine automobile.



Paint, yes, still attached.
