I wonder if the CVT performance is computer controlled and could be modified. I have found the same performance the tester mentioned in mine (so apparently did NJkizashi) - would be GREAT it it could be tweaked in existing cars.

Suzuki saw an opportunity to fill the gap vacated by the Subaru Legacy, Mazda 6, and even the Accord from a few gens back. They used to be smaller sporty sedans but turned into larger more bloated vehicles. The Kizashi filled in right behind and is as good or better than those cars were. Now, if only for a turbo version. :twisted:
