Kizashi Club

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!

Welcome to the fun, kentman4

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

Thanks!! And yes the Kizashi's I see are usually silver.

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

Congratulations.

I hope (and expect) yours will be as awesome as mine.....

Thank you DesRado and Weshoot2.

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.
