Great AWD for the price - Don't miss my Audi
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Nice looking car, very good option list for the price...
Cons: Only issue I have had in 3 months of owning is 3 times it was a bit hard to start.
It cranked once or twice, but then it started. Other than that, no problems...
Overall: Really like it so far (only been 3 months) - but time will tell..
I have been an Audi person for last 6 years, honestly, so far, I don't miss my Audi at all... And I love the extra $15,000 in my bank account...

kizashi experience
Source: Edmunds

...Just purchased a 2011 Kizashi SE, I have to say that for the money there is absolutely nothing that comes close to this car,
I test drove the KIA Optima, Buick Regal, Volvo C30, Mini Clubman, even the Mazda CX7 and I thought the value offered by the Kizashi couldn't be matched.
I encourage anyone looking for a midsized or sport sedan to do yourself a favor and test drive the Kizashi,
due to poor marketing efforts by Suzuki the Kizashi is not known and is not selling very well which gives the buyer good leverage when negotiating a deal,
I got mine for $3600 less than the...

Best bang for your buck!
Source: Edmunds

...I tested a Sonata, Camry, Accord and Optima. After uears of buying just Honda and Kia I decided to take a chance on one of Japans top selling manufacturers.
It paid off! I LOVE this car! Fun ride, great comfort for someone like me (6'4). Very peppy engine. Sweet in and out!...

Great fun for great value
Source: Cars.com

..."I now have a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi SLS AWD sitting in my parking lot and just couldn't be any happier.
Overall better performance compared to your well known sedans from VW, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Honda etc.
(most of which I have driven), identical if not better comfort levels (love the leather sports seats), great and "simply" elegant interior and exterior styling that will get heads turned.
After over a month of test driving multiple cars from multiple known brands, ended up buying the Suzuki - a brand I didn't even think of when I started looking until I saw the Kizashi.

Most satisfying mid sized car available
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Nimble, comfortable, excellent safety features, 26 city-36 highway.
Very responsive . A joy to drive. o maintence in 9 months with under 10,000 miles.
Should be rated best value in mid sized cars. Cons: A litle tight space for full full sized adults in back seat Overall: Why don"t I see more comments,
reviews, and general notice of this best value vehicle?...

Well kept secret

...My son just bought his first new car, a 2010 Kizashi SE, CVT, AWD.
Beautiful interior with top of the line materials, very comfortable seats, quite a few standard features found on cars 10 to 20K more.
Handles great, fun to drive, and looks better and better each time I see it.
Why buy a Camry or Accord when the Kizashi looks better, has more features for the dollar, and a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty! Suzuki has a winner here...

This car takes the cake!
Source: Edmunds

...I saw it, drove it, and could not get it out of my mind. I test drove the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2011 Subaru Legacy, 2010 Chevy Malibu, 2010 Ford Fusion, and the Kizashi beat them all. The layout of the controls on the steering wheel is perfect. Everything is in the right spot and on the correct side. I have been averaging 25-29 MPG while using AC. The doors close solid, it is smooth and quiet on the highway, and the interior quality is the best. It turns on a nickel ( a dime is really too small). I only have 1006 miles on my Kizashi but nothing compares. I am so glad I picked this car. I like...

Suzuki Kizashi...so far, so good
Source: Cars.com

...The reason why I ended up going with the suzuki was because I was looking for an AWD sedan. For a sport sedan with 18 inch wheels, it handles sharp turns nicely, absorbs bumps very well, and has minimal wind noise on highway. It is a 4 cyl, CVT setup, so don't expect a car that is going to tear the pavement up. But I would most certainly sacrifice power for good gas mileage combined with AWD anyhow. Nevertheless, the power of the kizashi is more than adequate. I had no problem getting the vehicle up to speed immediately before even leaving the on-ramp to get on the highway, and I was hardly...

Kizashi - Paint Chip Issues
Source: Cars.com

..."Warning!!!!Do not buy the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi unless you want to pay for a new paint job after a couple years.
I bought one this Aug. and within 50 km I had paint chips on both front doors and the hood.
Suzuki will not admit the problem even though the paint chip issue is well documented by others on auto forums.
Check out the posts on Kizashi Club forum and Suzuki form for details. Buyer beware!!! Shame on you Suzuki."...
