that has to be some kind of all-time record-(low).

RSA sold more Suzuki Kizashis than all the other countries on continental Africa!

There is a real risk of car-jacking in this country, and having a luxurious car that sold in extremely low numbers makes it highly improbable that criminals would target the Kizashi. This, in conjunction with my wife having a Grand Vitara from new in 2010, made me decide to get this car.

My Kizashi is the 2012 FWD CVT model with 52 000km (32 000 miles)

I like calm driving ( we have a toddler that goes with us everywhere), so the lack of sportiness is not a turn-off for me.
The low second-hand price meant that I could drive a really nice, low-mileage 2012 auto.

To compare, getting a Mercedes with similiar power and price, it would have to 2009 or older, and 3 to 4 times the mileage.

I've had Benzes and they are nice cars, but now I prefer to pay for an expensive house than an expensive car.

PS Excuse my English, it is not my home language.

That's the beauty of the Kizashi...a whole lot of car for a small price relatively speaking. It's truly a shame the masses in both our countries couldn't realize this fact. Maybe Suzuki would still be here selling their extremely well engineered vehicles.
BTW, your English is excellent! Better than many native Americans.

The Kizashi doesn't have sportiness in the sense of engine power, but the chassis and handling is remarkable. It's very good for a FWD-based family sedan. In fact, for the year it debuted, the Kizashi had a more rigid chassis than a BMW 3 Series and outperformed a number of small performance sedans in slalom tests.
