Kizashi Club

Does anyone know the estimates of the 0-60mph times of all the kizashis? I'm more particularly wondering a good estimate of the time for the 2011 sport SLS time for a 6speed. Being that this car is so rare, I'm having a very hard time finding an actual time haha. Any help would be appreciated.

It's around 7.4 seconds for a FWD manual. The fastest I've seen a publication clock one is 7.1 seconds but it's typically in the mid-7 second range. Keep in mind that the AWD versions are significantly slower with their extra weight and the CVT. They often clock in at the mid-9 second range from what I've read.

I want to buy another Kizashi now! lol... Finding a clean GTS or SLS is like finding a cookie crumb in the beige carpet on the largest floor of a mansion. hah

I'm tired of the CVT, but really love the Kizashi.

I know this question was posed years ago, but I just thought I’d add there’s a website for 0-60 times, and as Kuro said, the manual is in the low-to-mid 7-second range, while the AWD models are mid 9-second range. For some reason the publications only ever got manual and AWD Kizashis, but not CVT FWD models. But on one particular 0-60 website they listed a Kizashi with a CVT got to 60MPH in about 8.4 seconds. I don’t remember if it said explicitly it was FWD but it would make sense the lighter FWD models with the lackadaisical CVT would split the difference between the heavy AWD, CVT-equipped models and the light FWD-only manual models.
As an owner of a FWD CVT model, I was interested in this figure, too, and so while there’s not much backing up this particular time, I consider it to be my car’s 0-60 time. But driving like that isn’t good for the fragile transmission so I don’t think I’ve ever experienced it lol.

KlutzNinja-- AWESOME info my friend. Thanks so much...

Yeah- If I wouldn't known the AWD made it sooo much more sluggish- I def would've went out of my way to find a FWD Sport SLS from out of state instead. The AWD allows me to get up my driveway, even when my snow tires aren't in the best shape--- but other than that--- I regret all the extra added weight, EVERY SINGLE DAIL of my DAILY DRIVING life. lol

The funny thing about Kizashi ist that version with manual Transmission takes under 8 seconds to 60, and for example Accord for Europen market from similar age makes it in 8 seconds but it has 23 hp more than Kizashi. Not to mention that Kizashi is cheaper than accord as second hand Vehicle.

Thats why I love Kizashi. Because many people have no idea how godd this car is.

The Accord has a (litlle) higher topspeed.

Most probably you are right, but then again, with Kizashi you get a bit better miles per gallons....

Yo... can you share some photo's of your 6-speed Kizashi? I want to check it out.
