Nope.
May have been a member here, but I did not find any posts of pictures that were my car.
I thought if one sold his car he will no longer visit the enthusiast forums of the previous car?

Re: Suzuki Australia announces capped price servicing

I think I will be sticking with my 12 months/15,000km service interval - unless Suzuki tells me otherwise? I don't think they can make customer who bought their cars prior to May 13 to go with 6 months servicing. Afterall, one of the reasons for me choosing the Kizashi over other cars back then is t...

Re: Squeaky/rattling dashboard anyone?

Sorry to bump this thread again. I noticed that when the tyre pressure is lower (around 36 psi) the rattling seems to be not as noticeable. When I pump the tyres to 38 psi (as recommended by Suzuki, see specs on door frame) the rattle seems to be more of an issue. Now I am very reluctant to have the...

Re: Wheel alignment from factory

Is it really that bad? My Kizashi has done just over 14,000km and should I be looking to have the wheels realigned/rotated? Does Australian dealer servicing do this works during the scheduled service? I quite enjoy the stiff steering feeling, and so will the steering become lighter when the alignmen...

Re: Squeaky/rattling dashboard anyone?

Can the dash board be removed? If so then a something like Dynamat or something similar could change the resonant frequency of the dash board and possibly improve the rattle. We need a dash board removal tutorial! I am sure the dashboard can be opened. However the dealer didn't want to do it as the...

Re: Recalls recalls and more recalls

The Kizashi has been one of my favorite cars that we have owned, hence the reason we all have one now lol. My kizzy is going on about 62k miles and my parents are not far behind me and so far we have not had any issues. Such a fun car, built well, is just amazing. Does your Kizashi have many interi...

Re: Possibly a new owner

Good choice! I moved up from a Yaris (like your echo) to the Kizashi. Finally feel like I am driving a real car not a shopping trolley. Yaris was great zipping around town, but the Kizashi feels so much better on the highway etc.

Re: more bad news from zuki...

Why doesn't Suzuki import the Swift to the US and Canada?

I don't think sales of Suzuki is that great in Australia but Suzuki is alive over here because they sale thousands of Swifts.

Re: Squeaky/rattling dashboard anyone?

Thanks CLLee. I guess the only reason I care about the rattle is that my Kizashi is a car that I truly love and I just want it to be perfect (and heck I have spent considerable hard-earned money on it). It is more than an A to B machine for me. I have to admit I am a bit of a paranoid thought. Looki...

Re: Squeaky/rattling dashboard anyone?

Hi Suzboy, This is a new discovery and see if it works for your car. I have yet to find a permanent solution and it 'seems' to be the cause of the dash/windscreen rattle. (Yes... mine came back after disappearing for a while). I think the rattle might be coming from the outside... the plastic 'drai...
