This car was one of the first cars with the push-to-start technology, before that technology was hashed out, so while I had this car, dozens of times I was faced with a car that wouldn't start because of a dashboard error code causing the on/off engine button to not operate. This was very frustrating but other than this quark I loved this car. BUT...after about 3 months of owning the car the entire transmission went out. All of the quotes, including sourcing a used one, were more than I bought the car for so the car was essentially totaled. I have owned cars with conventional automatic transmissions my whole life and have never had a transmission problem, this was my first CVT car, and within 3 months the transmission goes out. Beware of the CVT version of this car. If CVT's aren't perfectly and properly maintained they'll just go out on you. I put 1 star reviews on anything relating to the car operating, because this car is currently sitting in a junk yard. Very sad because if this car just had a normal automatic transmission I'm betting this little 4 cylinder motor would have ran just fine for ages. I loved the little button this car had to turn it from FWD to AWD. Loved the sound system, loved the seats, loved the styling. Too bad.

I've owned and still own a few late Mercedes and Bmw's Even with my german cars experience, I can definitely say THIS CAR IS AWESOME!. Period! Yes, a few flaws, there are no perfect cars anywhere. but for the price you pay, the thing is amazing. Suspension: PERFECT Brakes: ONE OF THE BEST BRAKES I EVER TESTED Driving dynamics: I won't say its a BMW or a Mercedes, but its close, its wayyyyy over what you get from Toyota or Honda, but its still not a BMW... The price isn't either. Steering: Precise and sporty, love it.!

I only stopped at the dealer for an appointment for an oil change for my Chevy HHR.The next thing I know, I bought a Kizashi!! I love browsing the lots,so my Chevy dealer is also a Suzuki dealer. And there it was! Tucked in between a bunch of Chevys, a black Kizashi. He says how do you feel about this one? It looks nice I said."Would you like for me to get the keys?" I said yeah,sure. But if I get the keys, you'll have to test drive it! Yeah,whatever I said. MAn, did I have a ball!! He went with me and showed me a twisty backroad which I never knew existed! God does that baby handle great!! I thought it was the AWD version,that's how great it felt!
Great Car, Company NOT

We love our Suzuki Kizashi SLS w/AWD ... great handling ... great radio ... comfortable front seats that offer heat in our frigid winter weather B-U-T WE ARE VERY ANGRY THAT SUZUKI WITHDREW THEIR SUPPORT FROM OUR COUNTRY ... Why did they phase out a good line of cars (still sold in Japan)? ... some serious concerns for recalls ... Some concerns over transmission slippage, too ... but it is a relatively well priced sedan which looks really smart ... lots of comments! Even the commercials they had for this car were terrible!
