Re: New Rattle--Please call American Suzuki to report!

If nothing else in my life can I contribute anything else to mankind, I can at least fall back on the Kizashi Klunk. When i stand at the Pearly Gates before, St Peter shuffling my feet and he asks, what is it that you have given to mankind, I can at least try, I named the Kizashi Klunk! Thats probab...

Re: New Rattle--Please call American Suzuki to report!

Is the video too big up be uploaded here, or somewhere else with a link? Mine has travelled only 700 km at the moment and keen to hear what I need to listen for. I have about 1 km of unsealed road that my povo "home brand" local council will not seal, so I expect that with all the expected...

Crash test Kizashi

This is/was the demonstrator Kizashi at a local dealer. XL model, CVT. Was stationary and waiting to turn when struck from the rear by a Toyota Surf 4WD. Possibly at about 80 kilometres per hour.

Re: Japan disaster. Does it affect Kizashi?

Yes my car is fine. Apparently in storage locally. Just parts down the track. Would be a tad troublesome if simple parts such as airfilters etc became unobtainable. Expect that all will be OK.

Japan disaster. Does it affect Kizashi?

I have just ordered a new 2010 (2011 plated) manual Kizashi XLS in Australia and wonder what the affects of the Japan crisis will mean to Suzuki car owners in the near future. I googled Suzuki and it seems that they are away from the trouble.

Re: service campaign received in mail

Being an all new car, I would expect somethings to not work, and to have some recalls. I guess owners of new car are sort of lab rats in a way. There is only so much that the testing process can debug prior to the release into the wild. Many of the faults are very low risk of failing, but overall it...

Re: New Rattle--Please call American Suzuki to report!

Hello Group. Am considering buying a Kizashi have have just read this thread. Wondering what the rattle was and if it affects both left and right wheel drive vehicles? Am in Australia, so will be driving a right hand drive variety. Is the fix a success? Anything else to consider in buying a Kizashi?...
