I'm not taking sides, but as soon as I get mine, I will be driving the hell out of it like I do to the rest of my cars. Haven't had a major problem yet (unless you're counting accidents...).

I'm sure the cpu monitors the CVT, but I can guarantee any "adjustments" made are not significant enough to be noticeable by human standards. The initial acceleration is purposely turned down, so it wouldn't make much sense for Suzuki to install a Skynet system that would figure out that I like to drive like an a-hole so it's going to bypass the regulator setting for me.

I agree with some of the other posts... in reguards to the Aux input... I think it was a horrible idea to just install an USB Port... **Note to suzuki... not everyone has/likes Apple products!** I had to break down and get an iphone unfourtunally... and i noticed that in order to play any music, the system in which you have to scroll the the songs, SUCKS! Why couldn't you just put an AUX input, that is standard in almost every other car.. Including the cheapest, base model KIA! Come on Suzuki...
I am actually going today to best buy to have them install a hardwired fm transmitter, I really hope that the sound quality is decent. I have a 120 gb zune, that is pretty full and am unable to play in my car.

I live in Indiana, and I have to start my car in the winter, and leave it running. I asked on another post about if I take the key fob out is the ccar still driveable, and I did some tests, yes it is. You should make an adavanced security system, that when you start the car it will stay running, with out the fob in the car, but as soon as you press the break to put in in drive/reverse that the car would shut off, if the key fob was not in the car.

Also one other think that I've noiced is that the gas tank isn't locked all the time, I know about the thing in the trunk, but it would be nice if you had a button/lever inside the vehicle to open the gas door. You never know these days with as high as gas prices are...if someone would take your gas, and I often forget that I have to manually lock it thru the trunk.

A V-6 AWD model!!!!!!!!

Just a few suggestions, Suzuki! Please consider!

All cars that have keysless start will do the same thing if you start car and lock doors and close they will all stay running some of them have remote start for there cars but when you open your doors kills car. other wise this car is really no different then a toyota with keyless

chevydually- yes it stays running, but you can't lock the doors... unless you manually lock them with the key, inside the keyfob. which is kind of a pain.

I think it's the other way around. Not everyone owns a zune or basic MP3 player... Apple's iPod commands 92% of the market.

As a side note, and I just tested mine, you can plug in any MP3 player to the USB port and the RF stereo will read it. My blackberry plays over the Bluetooth perfectly and the Up/Down track selectors work (Curve 8530). You can also plug in a USB stick with MP3's loaded onto the root folder (FAT32 or FAT16 format only) and it plays them as well, even tags show up correctly.

Ever try that Aux+USB on the KrapRean cars? Yea, now THAT sux! Doesn't show the labels right, starts over from the beg of the list every time it turns off and on (got more than 30 songs, that's a PITA) and you have to pay $45 for a NON-Standard cable. Plugging in a 3.5mm cable and the stereo won't play anything you have to use the custom cable.
