Hi folks...new participant here who is considering purchase of a used 2011 Kizashi. Have not taken it for a test run yet but have done considerable research on the model in general. The dealer I will be using is advertising the Kizashi as having AWD. However, when I look inside I do not see a switch to choose either 2wd or AWD. Pics I have seen on the web show it to the lower left of the dash next to traction control, yet this one only has the traction control button.
Does this car in fact have AWD or am I missing something?

Kizashi AWD question
If it's AWD, it will have a button. Without it, it's safe to assume it's FWD. Does the dealer have more than one Kizashi? Does the car have an "AWD" badge on its trunk?
I'm thinking the dealer made an error labeling it as AWD.
You should see this button if it has AWD.

Funny enough this happened to me in my favor. The dealer listed the car as FWD Kizashi GTS. When I looked inside the car there was the awd button. When I took the car home and looked through the manual I learned I had the same features as the sls model.Craigo wrote:Hi folks...new participant here who is considering purchase of a used 2011 Kizashi.

I would be cautious with this dealer though, could be trying pull a fast one on you. Could also be an honest mistake.
Rule #1: Never trust what a dealership tells you about a car without documented proof.
Rule #2: Immediately call out a dealership that's trying to charge you more for less.
Rule #3: Never tell a dealership if they're giving you a better deal than they are thinking they are.
Rule #4: Never be afraid to walk away from a deal that isn't fair to you--there will be another.
