For me its the speedometer layout. It only has even numbered readouts and then the
tiny portion for odd numbers. I wish they would have only gone to 130mph on the speedo along with putting the numbers a little more spread out.
With 4k miles on mine, that is the only valid complaint I have about the car.
What is the ONE thing that bugs you about your Kizashi?

Since the TPMS crap is a required safety feature now I doubt the dealer would be allowed to disable it legally even if it were possible. The only problem I've had with the vehicle so far is the front pillar providing a bit of a blind spot but its still not as bad as my sx4
The brightness of the dash indicator lamps especially the DRL and headlamps dash lights inside the car... one or the other seems to be on all the time. Save some pennies and delete the stupid thing, I could care less. The tach and speedo gauges illuminate nicely and look rich, then you have that stupid DRL light on there acting like there's a problem or something.

It's time that Suzuki stepped up with a real florescent or LCD display for the radio instead of the silly dot-matrix display with too few characters and no ability to scroll messages. It's a small enough issue,given the current state of technology, but I am always frustrated by not being able to see the RDS information on the radio or the names of songs or artists on my iPod.

Press the DISP button on the radio, that will give you station id, artist name, song name.tigerbangs54 wrote:It's time that Suzuki stepped up with a real florescent or LCD display for the radio instead of the silly dot-matrix display with too few characters and no ability to scroll messages.

I don't know who to be madder at. Suzuki for the ridiculous way they set that up in the Kizashi, or for our useless nanny government for requiring something so stupid in the first place.
