2010 Midsize Sedan Comparative Road Test (Canada)
I wonder if the CVT performance is computer controlled and could be modified. I have found the same performance the tester mentioned in mine (so apparently did NJkizashi) - would be GREAT it it could be tweaked in existing cars.BOURDON wrote:"So here they are Canada, your competitors for the title of best new mid-size sedan: 2010 Ford Fusion SEL, 2010 Honda Accord EX-L, 2011 Hyundai Sonata Limited, 2010 Mazda6 GT-I4, 2010 Subaru Legacy PZEV, 2011 Suzuki Kizashi and 2011 Toyota Camry SE.

Suzuki saw an opportunity to fill the gap vacated by the Subaru Legacy, Mazda 6, and even the Accord from a few gens back. They used to be smaller sporty sedans but turned into larger more bloated vehicles. The Kizashi filled in right behind and is as good or better than those cars were. Now, if only for a turbo version.
