Used 2011 Suzuki Kizashi SE 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Opinion Changer
This car totally changes my opinion against Suzuki vehicles. I used to own a Suzuki XL-7 4WD Limited. It left much to be desired in many ways and as a result I traded it in with a Nissan after owning it for just a short time while it was still in a pretty good condition. I thought I would never buy a Suzuki again. Lo and behold I came across this beautiful car by chance. Both my wife and I love this car. Its look - both the interior and exterior - is quite pleasing to the eyes. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The performance is surprisingly exciting. Not to mention that you get possibly the best bang for your buck. The bottom line is, this is really a great car and worth looking into.
Terrible paint and warranty
I bought a 2011 around this time last year. From a mechanical and fun to drive standpoint, its great, but the painted metal surfaces are rusting and Suzuki is denying it as a defect, claiming instead that its an environmental. I haven't owned many cars that rusted, let alone with only 6000 miles on them. Needless to say, my good will towards the company is lost and now it will become a legal matter. Its ashame really, as I did whole lot of research before picking this car.....so I really wanted it. Now I'm not so sure.....and who really know's the extent of the rust....it could be encompass the entirely of the unibody. Beware as this isn't an isolated issue, just the responses vary.

Wish Suzuki was still making this car
Buy this car if you have a chance for a good one.... I've had this car for 5 years, with not one, mechanical issue.... Never had to utilize the warranty for anything.... Only thinking of selling car because the 5 year bumper to bumper warranty I purchased runs out in December, 2016.... Couple that with the unfortunate fact that Suzuki no longer produces automobiles for the U.S. market, the dealer network is close to non existent.... (Closest dealer left is 1 1/2 hours drive away.) Parts will still be readily available until 2025 so says Suzuki Inc., for the DYI driver though...

2011 Kizashi bought new still running strong
I bought this car in August’11 and only put 70K over the last 10+ years. I only pad for one repair over that time along with fixing some minor body damage and a repaint along with normal maintenance, tires and rear shocks which I did myself. The car looks and drives basically as it did when I bought it. It’s a shame the car didn’t catch on, though the timing was bad and the dealer network was subpar at best, but had things been different, we might have access to the Jinny. I intend to keep the car for as long as I reasonably can as it’s been a lot of fun and stone reliable.
