If you enjoy driving something distinctive (hard to find in a mid-size, 4-door platform), the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi is your cup of Japanese tea. Its strong European feel, both in sheetmetal and suspension, are quite distinctive in a segment anchored by offerings from Honda, Toyota and Nissan. Further, attention to detail is first-rate, and its operation – handling, steering and braking – is seamless.
If you prefer to exist (at least automotively) in relative anonymity, the Kizashi may generate too many questions at car washes, gas stations and high school reunions. Also, there’s the very real issue of market representation; Suzuki’s dealer network is, as this is written, in a state of almost constant transition. In most metro areas you can count on at least one dealer, while in Southern California – as an example – there’s but one dealer for several million households. All the quality (and warranty) in the world won’t help if your dealer is 200 miles away.
