New owner

[IGOR K]

I just wanted to say hello from New England. Just got for my wife the pearl black SLS with everything except NAVI. It is not our first Suzuki, my son drive SX4 AWD and we all loved it, so when we decided to go for new car Suzuki was high on the list of potentials. We definitely wanted AWD so it will go on snow, she also insisted on automatic (CVT). We also like cars that stand out in the croud from manufacturer that have reputation for reliability. SX4 is great, but we wanted car that bigger and had more power. We did some research, test drives and our list quickly shorten to 2012 Kizashi SLS, with CVT and AWD. Our favorite dealership had one in black, our favorite colour.
My first impressions:
The car full of features and amenities only found on much more expensive cars. Leather seats are very comfy and can be heated - nice! Dual auto climate control, key-less start, bluetooth audio stream... Just to mention a few. I love paddle shifters.The exterior design is very stylish. The car begs more power. If this had 3.0L V6 or 2.0L turbo, this would be a killer car. But, the wife is happy and this is important! CVT is little noisy, but this is not a big deal.
The car is a head turner big time. We took it to work and bunch of co-workers (some of them driving Mercs, Bimmers, Acuras...) were drooling all over, especially after hearing how much I paid for it.

Welcome. My wife thiniks the Kiz in Black is THE classiest looking color for the car. I can't help but agree....when it's clean and shiny, which around here, it would never stay that way very long.

Looks great though. The co-workers would change from drool to PO'd after they drove it and realized it handled every bit as good as those much higher priced rides.
