Kizashi Club

Hi folks, I have had my Platinum silver SE for about a month. I have put on over 1000 miles on it so far, I Can't stop driving it.
So far I like the: key less entry, 3 blink passing, sharp cornering, smooth highway ride, USB port. and of course the looks.
I have had people slow down to see what they was passing, lol .. Mine was made 5/10 I have no problems with paint chips?, my car came with premium paint, not sure if all Kazashi come with that option? I have not seen any others on the road. I sure like to be different, I could have bought about any car I wanted, but i needed to be different, didn't want to be part the masses ,Nissan, Honda,Toyota,VW.

I like my power leather seats, back-up sonar, blue tooth and the design of this car. I too could have bought the competition but I fell in love with the zashi. I've had it for two months and want to drive it all the time. I like having a unique car and hopefully one of these days I'll see another one on the road so I can see what it looks like with the wheels spinning. I hope this thread stays positive and people relegate their complaints to other parts of the forum. Maybe there should be a section titled, "I want to complain".

Hey autopiolet i agree with you too much complainers yes i know its a forum but there is a difference between giving a heads up about potential problems and nik picking

This comment is no more constructive than people who "nit pick". If people have an issue with their car they're more than welcome to share. Just because they may have an issue you've been able to look past doesn't mean it's not a real issue to them. I know it's frustrating when every post gets bogged down with negativity, and that needs to be curbed, but this isn't helpful either.

However, suzyK, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of very knowledgeable and helpful members here and it's proven to be a valuable resource for me on more than one occasion. We look forward to your contributions.

the difficulty with threads like this in this instance is there is so much to like, and (under normal circumstances) not much at all to dislike. I.e. it's far EASIER to list dislikes than likes as there are far fewer!

Some, of the highlights out of all the likes I have are (XLS Prestige -Australia):

- The build quality, particularly of the interior with Leather.
- The Subwoofer
- The sunroof and having the tilt option
- USB
- Heated seats
- 10-way customisation of drivers seat and position memory
- The look fo the 18" alloys and that they are (at the moment anyway) easy to keep clean, as well as having a full size alloy spare.

You got a full size spare wow

My black XLS arrived today.

Agree with Shaneous
Plus: NO CLUTCH PEDAL.
Just need to replace a few globes with LED's, blackout the front grill Suzuki badge, and order black number plates.
Would love a set of 18" RRM rims (dreaming!!).

Will I miss my Holden VE SV6 - no bloody way!!!
Clutch went 1 month ago with only 80,000km (not lead-footing either) - Cost to lease company to repair $2,000

You should have a full size spare too lookin. It's just a steely, but it's full size.

According to the Owner's Manual, page 7-34 - my GTS has the compact spare:

Your vehicle comes equipped with the
compact spare tire. The compact
spare is designed to save space in
your storage area, and its lighter
weight makes it easier to install if a flat
tire occurs. It is only intended for temporary
emergency use, until the conventional
tire can be repaired or
replaced.

Odd, my came with a full size and i don't think I paid extra for it. I'll have to check my window sticker.
