I'll admit, the Lexus styling is a very polarizing design. You either love it or hate it. When that generation first debuted I didn't like it at all, but it has grown on me over the years, and now I think it's badass. The G70 is an interesting suggestion. It is attractive. I actually hadn't consider...

After 7 years of trouble-free ownership, I finally traded in our 2013 Kizashi SLS awd. It was mainly my wife's car, but we both really liked it. In all that time and 100k miles, the only repair I had to make was when the rear shock leaked around the 80k mile mark. Considering the mileage, I just rep...

...so I'd say they did a good job. Good to know, time will tell. Who's 'they'? Autoland Hyundai in Uniontown, PA. They used to be Autoland Hyundai/Suzuki, so they still do all the warranty and recall work for Suzukis. I believe the same Suzuki Technicians still work there. They've done all my recal...

Got the recall work done on my wife's Kizashi a few days ago. Dropped it off at 8am, and they called around 4 to tell me it's done. I made the appointment several weeks ago because they were booked 6 weeks out. The list of parts replaced was pretty extensive. I don't have the invoice in front of me,...

I just recently did a map update as well as a software upgrade in the wife's 2013 SLS, so I'm familiar with the procedure. There were no white screen issues in my case, I mostly just wanted a map update. This is where you get the updates... https://suzuki.garmin.com/suzuki/site The software upgrade ...

I never looked into that, but I'm going to guess no. I just did a software update (went from 2.10 to 4.10), and a map update (went from North America 2012 to North America 2019) on our 2013 SLS. The software update was free, but the maps cost $97. Anyway, I didn't see anywhere where customization wa...

Had yesterday off because Government Holiday, so I spent most of the day getting caught up on Kizashi maintenance. Got it up on jack stands to do an oil change and tire rotation. I also replaced the front struts. My left-rear shock started leaking earlier in the summer, so I figured at 80k miles, I ...

Hi Jeff, So my "transmission" story: At right around 96K I was getting gas about an hour away from home and when pulling out of the gas station the car lurched just a bit but then went back to normal. I drove the next 50 miles to home and just after going through the toll plaza (PA-76 and...

Hi Guys, I've been away for a while but still have my 2012 AWD SLS. I got a new transmission at 96K which I can talk about if anyone is interested... I'd like to hear that story if you don't mind. I have a 2013 AWD SLS with 77k on it now. We've had it for 5 years now, and while the car has been gre...

The last time I bought a headlight for our Kizashi, I went to the counter and asked for a low beam bulb for a Suzuki Kizashi. The counter guy asked, "Is that a motorcycle or a car?".
