Hello everyone!
This is my first post to say hi to everyone and talk a little about my new (for me) Kizashi GLS 2010.
This is the only trim that was sold in 2010 in Mexico. I´ve searched and apparently it was only sold here with those specs. It has the CVT, fog lights, sun roof, RF audio, handsfree BT, powered leather seats, etc. The only things missing are heated seats and heated mirrors and AWD which frankly, are not necessary here in Mexico due to our weather. Suzuki has been selling reasonably well their smaller models here, especially the Swift and Grand Vitara models but Kizashi is still a rare animal on the streets. I have to say that coming from a Honda Accord, it has been a little difficult to get used to the feeling of the CVT but I like everything else about the car. The fuel consumption compared to the Accord has been almost identical which is kind of dissapointing, taking into account that the Accord was older and the CVT is supposed to help on gas economy. I will be posting soon about technical questions I have about my car.
I´ve been reading avidly in this forum before and after my purchase and I am familiar now with the most active posters here. I hope you can come by to say hello to this new member!
I´ve seen most members are from Australia and the US. I´m happy to be the only one from this part of the world. Thanks to everyone.
Here is a quick pic of my Gray 2010 GLS Kizashi:

Nice colour, but I might be biased.
