What is the ONE thing that bugs you about your Kizashi?

[NJKizashi]

No radio Scan/seek feature on the wheel..you have to reach to the Radio button itself to seek the channels

[Corridor 35]

That little Bermuda Triangle zone that exists between the front seats and the center console. When something falls down there . . . where it ends up is a mystery.

Absence of a ten second or so rewind button on the steering wheel for .mp3s. To go back you need to hold down the button (I do it on the steering wheel) and if you hit a bump, the track rewinds. When I listen to foreign language podcasts I go back often. Not sure if any car out there has a ten second rewind button on the wheel, but -- since you asked -- this is kind of irritating.

The TPMS. 3 warning displays? Really, Suzuki? And no way to disable the system. I asked my dealer to disable it and they said they can't. Major FAIL.

Have to agree with Hawkzilla here. And the display changes color to amber too. Very annoying. Other than that, I would have liked to see better ipod integration (i.e. faster browsing for large collections with the standard stereo), and removal of the stupid ipod prefix on the display - what a waste of limited screen real estate.

Otherwise, these are small issues. The car is (IMO) a fantastic piece of work.

I was unaware that the gov required TPMS on all cars... but that doesn't surprise me. Bush probably has stock in a sensor making company.

And I should have added that other than that occasional annoyance, I love my Kiz. Solid car so far.

The only thing that annoys me is having to hit the start button again, after shutting the engine off, to activate the ACC for the radio etc.

I pick my fiance up from work quite a bit and it annoys me every time I have to shut the engine down, then hit the start button again so I can keep listening to the radio etc

Unless anyone knows how to get around this??????

I will assume you are a democrat...(always blaming Bush, lol)

In the United States, the Firestone recall in the late 1990s (which was linked to more than 100 deaths from rollovers following tire tread-separation), pushed the Clinton administration to legislate the TREAD Act. The Act mandated the use of a suitable TPMS technology in all light motor vehicles (under 10,000 pounds), to help alert drivers to severe under-inflation events. This act affects all light motor vehicles sold after September 1, 2007. Phase-in started in October 2005 at 20%, and reached 100% for models produced after September 2007. In the U.S., as of 2008 and the EU, as of 2012, all new models of passenger cars must be equipped with a TPMS.

If you have the CVT, instead of putting the gear in P, put it in N (don't forget to set the parking brake) and push the start/stop button. This will turn the engine off, but leave the accessories on.

I'll assume you are a Republican... always defending Bush and no sense of humor.

I was joking, so lighten up Francis. I am not a Democrat or Republican, as any intelligent person can figure out, having only 2 parties is a big reason why nothing can get done in this country anymore. I vote for the lesser of two evils and call it good. But this is a car forum and it was probably wasn't a good idea making a political joke, so my bad.

Lack of aftermarket performance parts / support.

Oh, where are you Brembo? And Eibach? And Stillen? And KYB? And Bilstein? Where?
