Hello everyone. I finally got one.

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

New member here. Not new to Suzuki, but new to Kizashi. Just purchased a 6speed GTS and I love it. It does have the dreaded paint chipping wheels but that's the only cosmetic problem. I love the car and I'm happy to be a member!

Welcome to the fun, kentman4

Your car is identical to mine, seems as if half the Kizashis ever built were that color.

Welcome! I too have a Plat Silver 6sp GTS with paint chipping wheels (lol) but I was planning on painting them this summer.

Hi and Welcome.
Good to see another 6 speed GTS. These 6 speeds can be hard to find.
I own a 2011 GTS in Black Pearl Metallic. It's been a great car so far.

Thanks, kuronekko. I originally wanted the cvt model, but later I read about the cvt problems with JATCO. Even though all of them don't fail, I changed my mind when looking to purchase a SE model with the cvt simply because Suzuki is basically no longer with us.

I think the only real advantage to a CVT-equipped Kizashi is the AWD. Manual transmission models are exclusively FWD.
I'd say that getting a manual GTS is definitely a better package than an exclusively-CVT SE model.
