Hi

is it worth to trade my crossover 2010 sx4 4x4 6spd manual DOHC VVT 150HP

with base FWD Kizashi 6spd manual 185HP ?

is there a big difference in performance(accleration,topspeed) ?

the difference in weight between my sx4 and the base kizashi is almost 350lb

i read from a review site the accord 2.4 190hp is stronger than kizashi

but yesterday i killed modded(atleast intake) 2006 accord 2.4 twice time with different roll

so what do you think guys ?

i tried the CVT kizashi today and didn't like it, my sx4 is faster but doesn't know anything about the 6spd kizashi ....

note : i don't want a race cars i have one but i need a car that has strong performance and accleration among 4 cylinder class ....

Thanks

I think that the Kizashi is a pretty big upgrade over the SX4 in a lot of ways, but I'm not sure it's worth taking the hit you would take on your SX4 already. The Kizashi is a very nice car with decent performance for a 4 cylinder and I like mine a lot, but unless you can afford to take the loss or you're getting a great value on a trade I don't know if you want to move up so soon.

People told me form many forums there is no difference in accleration between the 6 speed manual vvt sx4 and the 6 speed manual kizashi,

and some told me the difference is very small,

so if the performance and accleration are small difference i will stick with my sx4,

i already made a deal with my dealer but i'm afraid its not worth trading my sx4 for it....

Thanks

I've never driven an SX4 so I can't say, but neither is exactly known to set the world on fire. I can tell you that the Kizashi will deliver that performance in a nicer overall package. There is someone on here who moved from an SX4 to a Kizashi, hopefully he'll chime in.

There is a big difference with the Kizashi manual 6 - can you locate one - that may be the way to go for you?
