Hey All,

I'm not trying to spam the forum, but I know many owners and potential owners would like to know about the day to day life of owning a Kizashi.

You can follow me throughout the week on http://www.thecollegedriver.com/categories/2-Editorals

I've seen that but my mats don't have the clips, I should ask the dealer about that when I take it in for the recall service.

Well the neat but annoying feature with the floor mats is that they are velcro like. So, I doubt they are going anywhere....


But I did notice the tag also.

I did notice that about the mats. I liked it, although it did make it difficult to lay them down and position them properly.

Easiest way is fasten the clips first then lay the mats down by rolling it starting from the edge closest to the seat. I really like the velco bottom because it prevents the corner of the mats from curling up.

Interesting that my car didn't come with any clips for the mats either.

It turns out Suzuki didn't have the clips ready at the time manufacturing began (maybe that's why mats are Velcro as well?) up until just a month ago. Cars made 3/2010 and on should have them, anything before that just go to the dealer and they will install them :)
