Hey or "moin moin" like we say in germany.

I'm Bastian and I'm 23 years old. Since end of august I am a proud owner of a brand new Kizashi Sport 4x4 with CVT. I really love this car a it is my 4th car of Suzuki. My first one was a '93 Swift Convertible, then I had a '08 Grand Vitara, parallel to this one I owned a '94 Swift Convertible and now it is the Kizashi which is parking in front of my house.

Here you have some Pictures of my one:

Actually it is lowerd with some -35mm springs of H&R. For the next summer I orderd some Enkei Wakasa in 8x18" which should be mounted with some distance plates an the axle.

Something to my person. I'm a service supervisor for special machines which are used for the fabrication of nonwoven products. This is the reason why a travel a lot and also visited the USA several times. I've been to North & South Carolina and Virginia. I hope to see some more of your country an maybe I will meet one of your cars there.

With best regards
Bastian

Guten Tag Herr Bastian! Are the Autobahns still without maximum speed limits? What have you gotten her up to? How was the Suzuki sales experience for you im Deutschland?

Hey Charles

A lot of our Autobahns are still without limit. Only in some area's around the cities and if there are roadworks we have a limit which ist 130km/h, 100km/h or 80km/h. The rest is fully open. With the Kizashi I got about 210km/h but I think it will go up to 215-220km/h.
The fastest speed I drove was 275km/h with a brand new Mercedes C63 AMG which is owned by a friend of me.

The sales experience was really good. This is the second new car I bought at this dealer and my first one was also modified with some special cars and I was in a close contact with my dealer for all his customers which wanted to have something special. Also I'm a moderator in the german Vitara-Fan-Forum, and beacause of that I gave him some tipps when there was problems somewhere which he didn't know till then. Actually we meet about one time a month an talk about everything about Suzuki. He gave a really good price for the Kizashi, and I think this would not be my last Suzuki.

Thanks for all your greetings.

If you like I can try to organize some Euro plates to send the to the USA. I heard that this is a really big thing in the customizing scene.

As a German, how do you feel the Kizashi compares to the other cars in its class available in Germany?
I ask this because I think this car gets closer to the feel of a German sedan than any other Asian or American sedan.

@OzzieKizzy: I will definetly post some pictures. The rims and tires should arive end of this week, but they will be attached on the car in Spring next year.

@Firefly: The Kizashi is getting close to cars like Volkswagen Jetta and Buick Regal (which is almost a Opel Insignia). The Quality is almost the same as in the Opel/Buick and an little lower than the Jetta, but when you check the money/quality-level the Kizashi will kick them all. when you up to a BMW 3, Audi A4 or Mercedes C you will have a complete other feeling of driving and quality but for almost 50% more money. So in my oppinion the Kizashi ist the best car you can get for less than 30.000€ in it's class.
For shure there is alsways a level up, but you have to pay it.
