Kizashi Club

Hi all. I sat in the 2011 Kizashi last night for the first time. I love the dash/console - the design is beautifully simplistic and ergonomical. I think It easily beats the dash/console in the Camry, Accord, Fusion and Altima. I didn't drive the car for two reasons. First I was passing on my way to dinner with friends. And second there isn't enough rear seat room for my family, I should admit that buying a Suzuki doesn't appeal to me as there's only one Suzuki dealer on the other side of the city, so I don't know what long term support would be like. Still it's a solid car and deserves a bigger audience.

Does it use the same CVt as the Sentra or Altima? I've driven the CVT in both of these and owning a CVT for the long term worries me due to the high replacement costs with the transmission.

I hope Suzuki bring out a turbo though I would prefer the torque at lower RPMs.

Oops gotta dash...

Shame you didn't get to drive it - that's what clinched the deal for us. True, would be great if a dealership were closer. But how many times do you need to visit one? If you're unlucky, perhaps, a few times a year. Our 2002 Zukes haven't seen a dealership for many years.
