I picked the Kizashi S AWD for its stellar gas mileage, its fine relaxed feature-laden cabin, its sophisticated AWD system (I live in very-snowy Vermont. On a dirt road), and its performance when driving.
After a year and a half this car is still fun to drive. My wife and I had to switch cars the other day and she pulled into the garage and said I would kill myself in this car if it were mine...
She loved how nimble it was and how good it handled, she said she was driving it pretty quickly and liked it. Coming from her 4 cyl AWD Toyota Venza, NO BIG surprise, lol.
I have had a lot of cars over the years and I really enjoy getting new and different cars. I have the 2010 S AWD and I would actually consider getting another one when my lease is up, probably the Loaded top of the line SLS and I would actually buy it instead of lease.
Great car.

I stole the avatar because I liked it!
This is what a profesional driver told me at a Kizashi road show. Note that he was not a sales guy so I got a honest answer to my questions. There was a audi, a sonata and the kizashi for test drive.
I drove all 3. At the end I asked to the profesional driver which car will he get out of these choices. He sais if he has the money he will get the audi. The kizashi AWD if he lives in a place with heavy snow and the sonata if he has a family with kids.
