New Owner - on line survey.

jimmerz · Wed Jun 30, 2010 12:50 pm

Well I just recently was emailed a link to participate in a survey. I think this is the one that my saleman begged me to check all 10's for everything? I'm not sure, because I also received a phone call asking me questions about my purchase which I had to rate my experience from 1-10 also...

Anyway, at the end of my survey there were some interesting questions that Suzuki had. One was what changes would you like to see on your new car. It was a blank box for you to list your dream things i guess.

Another question is would you like to see

1. a Turbo Diesel engine
2. a V6 engine
3. a high output 4 cyl turbo
4. I like the way my engine is.

I thought this was interesting. Maybe They are seriously considering adding some sort of turbo to the Kizashi?

That is pretty interesting. Which did you pick? I would have chosen diesel probably, I love the gas mileage and the torque.

Well I have never driven a diesel, so I choose the High output 4 cyl turbo. - I think either way it would really make this car more fun.

Thanks Lookin! I actually added in the notes that I would DEFINITELY buy another Kizashi if it had the options I listed in my survey - Turbo included.

That engine does not have 'gas' mileage.

Looks pretty much like a survey for a...VW sourced engine. Very interesting, indeed.

Personally, I'd vote for # 1...a TDI powered Kizashi.

I personally wouldn't want a diesel due to initial cost, the sound, and having to plug it in in the winter. I think a turbocharged 4 cyl would be excellent due to gas mileage, cost, and 'funness'. A v6 would be ok, not my first choice, but initially the car was supposed to get the 3.6L V6 from GM (305 hp) as an option which would have been pretty killer. Diesel would be cool...but to me going over the $30K isn't a good place for the Kizashi to be...just my opinion.

I test drove a MazdaSpeed3 before buying the Kizashi. And too be honest I wanted the Speed3 but they were not willing to work out any kind of deal. Suzuki was!

The speed3 was a super fun car to drive. Unreal power for a $25,000 car. I am interested in Hyundai's Sonota 2.0T 274hp. That could be interesting, and it runs on 87 octane.
