Just picked up my Kizashi XLS Australia (Quick Review)

Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

Hi there!
I too am from Australia and I too got the Black - Looks sensational, especially with Tinting. I too have gone from a 6cyl RWD (I have been driving Commodores for years) down to a 4cyl FWD and this is my first Suzuki. As far as FWD's go, this car is one of the better ones! I think it handles more like an AWD under some circumstances, and the steering feels good - (some fwd's feel very cheap and light).

Had it about 5 weeks now. Had its first service last week. No paint chips for me yet, which is good, however 1 week after I got it some numpty opened their door up on mine and put a small dent in the RPSD (grrrrrrrrr).

Only issue from this camp is the random Fluctuation in the Audio volume (non AVC related).

Hey guys, I just had my exhaust done today, just the rear mufflers for now, will go back and get the full catback done. I have an exhaust guy who has done most of the work on my two cars, but I am in Melbourne so I dont think that it will be too convenient for you! I am going to try and start selling a rear muffler system, about $200AU. Here are some picks of the work:
