Re: After Kizashi - What New Vehicle?

Been six years since I last drove my 2011 SLS, and still remember it fondly as possibly my favorite ride. Have any of you moved to something that compares to the overall Kiz experience? What new vehicle today compares best? I have had several cars since selling mine back in 2015. I sold my Kizashi ...

Re: Moving on but forever a Kizashi Enthusiast

I haven't posted on this forum for a few years. I owned the Sport version, which was the only one available in the UK. I only owned it for about 18 months as a change our lives meant we had to cut down to one car. That changed again by the way, and we now own two cars. I quite often think about it ...

Re: Popped in after a few years

Good to hear from you PITN. Very cool car. I don't know about prettiest car ever (the E Type and GTO might have something to say about that) but it is pretty in a homely sort of way. Yours is gorgeous. Your description sounds like the GEO Metro (Suzuki Swift to you) that I'm so fond of. I beg to di...

Re: Popped in after a few years

Nice little project/investment. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about British automobiles. What does an Austin 804cc engine look like? More pics please. I had some exposure to a TR250 and a GT6, I believe it was, back in my high school days. A H.S. buddy's older brother was unsuccessfully att...

Re: Popped in after a few years

Recently purchased a third car I thought people may want to see. Strictly speaking Josephine (my new car) is an investment, although I have already spent the first years profits attempting to get her right. New carpets, new door seals, new water pump, new shock absorber, and a total new new front br...

Re: Popped in after a few years

That's strange, because my Kizashi was the best equipped car I have owned. Electric folding mirrors, parking sensors front and rear, voice activation, leather upholstery, electric seats, key-less entry & start, and auto lights etc etc etc. Other than a sat nav, it had almost everything. I think...

Re: Popped in after a few years

Good to hear from you paininthenuts. Gorgeous car, I'm very jealous. It has a sat nav, rear parking camera and sensors, voice recognition system, leather upholstery, and a host of other toys. Every word in that sentence is something I specifically do not want in a car. It's fascinating how people's...

Re: My 2nd Kizashi

Nice looking car, congratulations. Your trade-in is identical to mine, I wonder how much they want for it? I understand Suzuki plans to return to the US by 2021.. so maybe I'll get the opportunity to own another! :D That's not happening, don't get your hopes up. Most manufacturers are talking about...

Re: Popped in after a few years

Surprised you think the MX5 looks nicer, as one of the reasons I spent a little more on the Fiat is because I thought it looked prettier. The car also a better every day user than Mazda, as it's suspension is easier to live with. Different strokes I suppose. The Fiat is 5" longer, and the trunk...
