yup, someone here actually got them to replace the tranny and it still made the whine noises. i DEF don't trust my dealer to install a new cvt. the 2-3 second delay when going in reverse is prob the worst thing about it. I've been thinking about what other car i would get...and i would like another kizashi lol...an awd sedan with good handling/interior is hard to find unless you wanna spend 30k plus

Amen to that! AWD sedans are in short supply, some of the other mid-sizers want you to buy the loaded model to get the AWD which puts you into the entry luxury sedan price range.

Heck, it's already been a week



20,103 miles.
Man this thing sticks like glue.

Went out last night 22:30 for a 5.5hr drive, just enjoying the utter lack of traffic.
Cars wears 235/45 R18 Kumho V-rated Solus XCs, and they simply do NOT make noise. No matter how hard I dove in, as late-braking as possible, even getting rotation, those tires made nary a sound.
This version carries HUGE pace on paved roads.
Very inspiring, totally awesome.

I like my new Kizashi.

The only way I can tell the cars apart is by the new one's spoiler.
