Positive Review
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
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.

AWD, reliability, many features
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.
Quality car at a great price
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.
Reliable and fun to drive
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.
great car
no longer sold in the usa
I purchased this car new ,and its fantastic ,haven't put a penny in it and it still looks like new ! I also have a suzuki grand vitara 2006 with 63,000 oh it and in 13 years ,I've only spent 1000 in replacing the exhaust !
Big bang for your buck
Transmissions.....
Fun car always a blast to drive...
Nice looking well build AWD car
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.
Very solid car, full of features, dependable
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.
Best vehicle I have owned.
