Welcome! How common is the Kizashi in Malaysia?

Very nice! Looks like you have front parking sensors and HIDs as well.

I wish we had front sensors here in the US.

Wow... I was from Malaysia (been living in Aus for almost 20 years now lol).

AFAIK, it's very pro Toyota and Honda there. It's great to see someone moving away from the crowd.

Hope you enjoy the car. What's the equipment level like?

Same can be said about Southern California.

Kizashi is not common in Malaysia....most people still go for honda/toyota/nissan
the trend now bit change with more choices from VW,FORD,KIA,HYUNDAI and those luxury MERC and BMW

myself decided to go for it after doing online homework, test drive and meet with one of the owner.

furthermore i'VE got a good bargain of discount/high trade in value of my car/good interest rate

this forum had provide me with bunch of pro and cons info
thanks a lot to all members

So no All Wheel Drive or 6 speed manual in Malaysia?
Looks like you have the front parking sensors, headlight washers, and possibly HID headlights. None of those were offered in North America, but are seen in other markets like Europe and Asia.

The Kizashi was only offered in one engine anywhere so we all have the 2.4 liter inline 4 cylinder (J24B) engine.

The CVT's "6 gears" are not gears, but ratio presets for the CVT's pulleys to mimic gear shifts.
