Positive Review

"best car I've ever hammered relentlessly"

Zero repairs; replaced spark plugs, brake rotors and pads one time, both headlamp bulbs, 4 license plate bulbs. And tires, lots of tires. That's it. No belts or hoses or battery or struts or shocks or nothing; nothing. Absolutely stunning ownership experience, my best ever (bought my first new car in 1974, and been piling on miles ever since). Best. Ever.

Critical Review

"So far so good!"

I just bought a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi. It is too early for me to give a fare rating on the car. But I can tell you this. I am 6 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 380 lbs. I was surprised on how well I can fit into this car and how easy it is to get in and out of it. I have plenty of room inside this car. Grant it, I won't be getting in the back seat anytime. But the front has more then enough room for me.

Great value
Pros

AWD, reliability, many features

Cons

Gas mileage is usually in the low to mid 20s

My Kizashi is 9 yrs old and last winter I replaced the original battery. I've only had a few minimal repairs: replaced the starter last yr, and previously did rear shocks. Other than oil changes, brakes and tires, that's been it. It still drives like a newer car.

Best car Suzuki ever built
Pros

Quality car at a great price

Cons

Could use a little more power

Bought new. Practically no problems, replaced rear brakes, tires and two batteries. Beyond that just normal maintenance. I have the FWD Kizashi SE. Nice features for the price and after 10 years and 110k miles still running great. Paint tends to chip, but I can live with that. Good acceleration and road feel. Unique styling that still looks great. Nice interior and good power driver seat. The former Suzuki dealers in my area still service the car and are able to handle any recalls. Most trouble-free car I've ever owned.

Very nice car for the money
Pros

Reliable and fun to drive

Cons

A little noisy on highway, rear vision blind spot

My Suzuki Kizashi is a great all around car that has treated us well through the years. Reliable and inexpensive to own. Looking to buy another one before everyone finds out how nice of a car it is.

Very solid car without any problem so far
Pros

Nice looking well build AWD car

Cons

Could have a little more horses

I still do like my car after 7 years. Nice shape, well built, problem free, AWD as you need and decent gas mileage around 27-28 mi per gallon.

In many ways this is the best car I've driven.
Pros

Very solid car, full of features, dependable

Cons

Can't get parts, Suzuki out of business in USA

Except for the fact that Suzuki is no longer in business in the USA, and parts are therefore difficult if not impossible to get, this car is a real keeper. Lots of power, lots of features, roomy, ergonomically correct, easy to work on, high quality materials right down to the rust-free alloy used for the brake calipers. Also, push button AWD drive, decent gas mileage, sound system, spacious trunk, fold down rear seats, automatic heating/cooling, dual controls on HVAC, easy to use controls on steering wheel. Lows: No back up camera, parts not available, no USB ports, rear shocks designed to fail early.
