Well......

552 days, 53,081 miles.


Had the near-50K oil change at the dealer; $41. The tech owns a Kizashi, and he did a quick but thorough inspection, knowing I was leaving for an extended trip.
Brakes still have plenty of life :shock:

Left 0:730 June 21th, start mileage 50,019.
Returned home (after traveling 2,962 miles mostly on two-lanes) June 25th 01:33 with 53,039 miles.
Used 93.21 gallons, for a trip MPG of 31.777. Admittedly, I never hit 100MPH.

Absolutely no drama for those 2,962 miles; heat rain rush-hour city country miles. AC worked fine in the upper 80s--mid 90s I encountered (I left it in 'Auto' mode).

I DID check; paint still attached :mrgreen:

Fun read.

I've had mine for over 400 days and I still only have 3500 miles on it. :lol:

42,522 KM or 26421 miles for my American friends.

So far I have had the AMP replaced, sunroof seal replace due to some leakage in car washes, and a alignment.

I have noticed some slight groaning from the drivers side window while it is closing. I need to get that looked into ASAP.

Aside from this, LOVE the car and it drives like a dream.

-
55,592 miles.

Last few tanks have returned from 25 to 27 MPG; been driving harder. Very hard, with the climate control active.

I love to disable the VSC and go dirt-sliding, but you lose the AWD's torque-vectoring cabability when you do so. So I more and more leave it active and get less slide, but go faster. Even active it allows for some pretty good four-wheel drifting before it intervenes, even on paved roads.
Since limits are high, irresponsible driving is mandated.


I hit a chicken the other day and it bashed out the lower center grill; it popped right back in!

Paint, even though, still attached.

I have noticed the same thing - for a while now, but not always. Sound like the motor is straining... or dying.

(I think that 'groan' is the window sliding up the rubber track.....)

No other windows make the same noise. Just the drivers side.

The dealer said they would like to run some test with other Kizashi to see if it is normal. They lubed up the tracks and it made no difference.

They said I am not at risk of the motor failing and that it may just be a tight fit causing the sound.

Either way - poor engineering on Suzuki's part.
