Moving on but forever a Kizashi Enthusiast

Fellow Kizashi owners, it's been great to have been part of the community. Though I will always have a soft spot for the Kizashi, it's highly unlikely I will ever have another spot for one in my garage. I owned a 2010 GTS for eight years, which was sold to a local friend who is edging up on 200k miles with it. My second Kizashi, a low mileage '13 SE, has also moved on, but thankfully is still in the family and being driven by a nephew in college. Although I intended to keep the SE for many years, the debut of the new Integra redirected my attention away from it. The pre-owned market being what it is, I was able to fetch well over what I paid for my SE and still give my nephew a great deal on a truly fantastic car. His friends reinforced it by telling him that he had scored a cool and unique ride.

In the course of digging up everything I've kept or saved on the Kizashi, I found an old news clipping from the speed record it broke at Bonneville in 2010. I'm sure there's a post about the record somewhere on the forum, but I thought the group might be interested in the piece.

Be well everyone.

Juan

I haven't posted on this forum for a few years. I owned the Sport version, which was the only one available in the UK. I only owned it for about 18 months as a change our lives meant we had to cut down to one car. That changed again by the way, and we now own two cars. I quite often think about it because it was just a stunning motor. For it's day the technology was very good, albeit the car was quite thirsty considering it was really a performance car. Every now and again I go on Autotrader to see what is available, and how much they are selling for. We now have two cars in the household as mentioned, a Fiat 124 Spider, which is a stunning car and very fast as well. The second car I bought a few weeks ago, a Kia Niro Hybrid. It is just about the nicest and most relaxing car I have ever bought, and the spec+technolgy are incredible. Hope you are all keeping well

Do you still own yours?

I certainly do. I've now owned it for over 10 years and personally put on over 100,000 miles on the Kizashi. I plan to keep it a while longer because it's a reliable and comfortable car that is rewarding to drive. When the time comes, I will replace it with a PHEV CUV, I think. My outdoor interests really favor a CUV with AWD and ground clearance (don't want a gas guzzling SUV) and I want the larger cargo space that sedans cannot offer.
