Problem with front parking Sensors

Few days ago I started to get some weird message from board computer that my front sensors need to be serviced or cleaned. On the screen in the middle between speed Gauge and Rpm Gauge I have a picture of a car and front sensors, and I can not change the screen in order to see the Mileage, Average s...

Re: 2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport MT

Today I had some extra free time so I decided to take care of engine bay. Beside the metal Bar that holds the Battery and has a bit rust on it, now it looks more or less like new. :)

Re: Coolant for the Kizashi

I finally changed the Coolant in my Kizashi few weeks ago. Even though the previous Coolant in the system wasn't dirty at all, it had some pink color and it was obvious that previous owner allready changed it, but when I had no idea. I went to Suzuki Dealer which is only 2 miles away from me and ask...

Re: Overheated!

If you plan to keep the car a bit longer, of course it is a good idea to change Thermostat and cap. The problem with these parts is that wnen they start to fail they can make some mess and in if that is not noticed on time, can also make serious damage. The Kizashy engine though seems to be very rel...

Re: Overheated!

Wow! Amazing how such a small piece of crap can cause so much damage and worries. If the Engine needs to be replaced or not you can find out only if you openl it and inspect the block for damages. Had similar problem with my Honda CIVIC 3 years ago. It was overhating and it dumped all the antifriz o...

Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

Has someone tried Subaru Levorg with 1.6 turbo petrol engine? This car might be as rare on the streets as Kizashi, but that is one of the reasons why it woke up my interest. In my personal opinion it looks outstanding for a wagon, has simple but smartly layed out interior, not a fan of a smaller tur...

Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

I do not doubt that Mazdas Turbo Petrol engine seems and holds up good, but these engines are relatively new while beeing present on the market just a couple of years. We can talk about some product quality only when it has been on the market a long time and has proven it's reliabiliry throught mant...

Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

2.5L naturally aspirated Petrol engine in Mazda 6 is good as it gets. People who don't like this kind of engine are mostly the people who got used to drive turbo diesel or turbo petrol engines, where the most of the maximum torque is ready as soon as you step on a gas pedal, arround 2000rpm. And the...

Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

Yeah, the Challenger is such a huge car especially considering it is a coupe. I am sure I would have lot of fun driving it, but then again I am even more sure than my wife will never sit behind the steering wheel. For an unexperienced driver with its body over 5m long it is nightmare to park in and ...
