2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
The Suzuki Kizashi is a very good looking car inside and out. I then started to look at the specs and wow...it had a lot of features (especially for the price and the iAWD system). Not even a single problem so far. The only complaints is the wipers are not the best and the gas mileage could be better, but I mean it is a heavy car that does not get stuck in any snow/ice. It has a … wonderful Rockford Fosgate audio system and you can put it front-wheel drive or intelligent all-wheel drive whenever you want with a push of a button. I had 2 Audi A4 Quattro in the past and the Kizashi handles even better. It is basically an A4 (same features, same look), but a lot cheaper and more RELIABLE. You won't regret it!
Update (July 2016/62 000 km) : Still the best car I ever owned....incredible in the snow! Very reliable, comfortable, etc. The audio system is awesome. I did not change anything besides the original tires, the rear rotors and all the breaks.
Update (June 2018/100 000 km) : No issue to report. Thinking about my next car (4-5 years from now probably), but I still love my Kizashi!
Update (December 2018/110 000 km) : Replaced shocks at 105 000 km. Still an awesome car.
Update (December 2019/130 000 km) : Still love my Kizashi! Replaced rear bushings since last update.
Update (July 2020/135 000 km) : Still running strong. Had to replace original battery and original windshield washer pump (rust) recently
Update July 2021 (150 000 km). Nothing to report except one spot of rust on one fender and one on hood and replaced spark plugs. Still love the car!
Update January 2022 (160 000 km). Had to replace front rotors and brake pads since last update. Front passenger seat heating not working anymore (ripped leather)
Update January 2023 (173 000 km) : Had to replace rear breaks and rotors since last update. Had 2 rust spots repaired as well.
