Keep in mind the DRLs were only on US and Canadian models. It's not a global feature for the Kizashi. They also only work when the car is on and the handbrake is down when the headlights are off. Like Woodie stated, they use the high beam bulbs on reduced power through Pulsed Width Modulation. This ...

I agree that it's likely a bot but the reality is that this forum needs more activity so it's worth the response/discussion. As for what you wrote, I would say that manuals are more likely to consistently hit the EPA estimates. My manual Kizashi has delivered expected fuel economy consistently for 1...

transmissions often offer better fuel economy compared to automatic counterparts due to their mechanical simplicity and direct driver control over gear selection. By actively engaging gears, drivers can optimize engine performance, enhancing efficiency. This makes manuals a preferred choice for fue...

The sunroof and hood deflector were made in Australia and I've even seen clear ones sold there as OE accessories. If you are very keen on getting them for the Kizashi, I suggest you search and buy them from Australia.

I've seen the videos too but the technique involved using a rounded brush sideways. Basically, a new toilet brush with a cut handle shoved into a drill. I recently found a 3-pack brush drill set for very cheap. I'm going to use some of the brush heads to clean tile grout and one of them to clean the...

Hi Kuro, I hope the stuff has come in handy :drive:. For what it’s worth, the Kizashi isn’t alone in oil grades differing by region. My Mazda’s engine calls for 0W-20 here in the US, but 5W-30 in Europe, I believe. American owners put either of those in their Skyactiv engines, or occasionally 5W-20...

This is my italian manual where recommended 0w20, but there is temperature diagram on the region. What is interesting is that about two weeks ago, I was looking for this very oil chart in the US owner's manual and could not find it anywhere. I looked in the same section as your book but it only men...

Wow, that's pretty bad. Sadly, many cars don't seem to last as long in the regions with a lot of snow in the winter due to rust. In the Southwest, cars aren't really subject to much rust so you see older ones running that would have otherwise rusted out a long time ago elsewhere.

My Kizashi is European from Italy, but the Suzuki manual recommends 0w20 for the same engine, and in the US 5w30. It is most likely due to different standard. 0w20 cites it as the greatest fuel economy. According to the country and climate where I am, I pour on my Kizashi Ravenol 5w30. I will try P...

For me, I just don't understand why the Kizashi has such an aggressive TPMS warning. It basically takes over the dash while most other cars have a simple orange light on the dash. Suzuki went far too excessive with the warning.
