;) Any reason why when I'm sourcing maint items/parts for my 2013, they only go up to 2012 on most parts websites?

BTW, absolutely LOVE my '13 SLS..!!!!

Probably because only a few hundred 2013 models made it here before Suzuki pulled the plug. Doesn't really matter though since no significant changes were made between 2012 and 2013 models...or for that matter 2011 and 2010 as well. (mechanically)

I noticed the same thing, Kelevra, and glad to hear that the 2012 stuff will be fine.

when I purchased my 12 last year it was the same way but it will catch up to the 13's shortly. Like P1 said the parts are all interchangeable.

Great answers, I figured as much, wow, only a few hundred, eh?

I'm thinking to buy a few used 18" oem wheels, as I'm not a fan of the donut tire in the trunk.

Are the 2010, 2011 18" spoked wheels the same as well? Thanks!

They should be exactly the same. We're lucky and get full size spare wheels in Australia.

I believe they changed some major wire harnesses though for 2013 because they have a separate section in the service manual for diagrams between 10-12 and 13 so be careful there might be other subtle differences as well

Sorry to take this a little off topic, but does anyone know if only the higher trims came with the donut spare? I swear my 2013 SE doesn't have one; just an inflator kit and a rigid foam piece to fill in the compartment down in the trunk.

I was told just that, when I bought my new '13 Kizashi. The general sales mgr stated that higher models received a donut whereas the the others, only an inflator kit.

Def. want to put a full size 18" oem wheel/spare in my trunk, I'll lose the styrofoam and whatever else to make it fit, if it'll fit..

It wont fit
Be wary of the inflator kits though. I have heard that they will jack up your tpms sensors with the foam and they make a mess.
