Re: ROAD/RACE Tracks its TURBO Down Under.

Very cool article. I have owned 2 turbocharged Subarus and would very much like to feel how the Kizashi does with a turbo.

Re: Kizashi Paint Chip Problem !!!!

TC has a good point. I owned Black Pearl Subaru WRX, and my god if that car didn't show a million scratches all the time. A buff and wax would help, but I swear that dust would put very small marks in the paint. Black is my favorite car color but I don't know that I'd buy another just because of the...

Re: Tires or suspension

I got mine this past March so I had a few days of snow. Mine is FWD, and I found the tires to be decent. I'll have a better impression this winter. I traded in a Subaru Forester, and even with AWD that car was worse in the snow because the stock tires on it were total crap. All OEM tires I've found ...

My Ray-ban's fit! Though anything bigger probably wouldn't.

Re: Attention to Detail

I have noticed little things like the high-quality switches, the door pockets have smooth edges, all the storage compartments are lined with soft material (including the sunglasses holder), and most impressive to me is the A-pillar fabric lining. I test-drove a BMW 1 and 3 series with cheap looking ...

Re: Tires or suspension

I'm putting my money on the tires. I have the GTS with the slightly sportier suspension and notice the same thing when hitting expansion joints on the highway. Especially when turning and hitting these joints, or ruts in the road. The tires on this car are simply OK. I've owned new cars with much wo...

Re: Kizashi Paint Chip Problem !!!!

I've had it with my Kizashi. I had chipping all over the car. Front, sides, rear trunk, roof. Suzuki agreed to repaint the entire car. They took it in over 2 months ago. The car is STILL NOT DONE! I have been without my car for over 2 months. It's not even worth having anymore. I bought the car to ...

Re: Only Kizzy in the village

I spent 4 days in Tokyo and never saw one. Though I don't know if they are sold there either.

I see one other in Valparaiso, IN. And have yet to see a single one in Chicago.

Re: Kizashi Paint Chip Problem !!!!

I have had my repainted car back for 3 weeks now. Here are my thoughts: 1. I had prior experience with the body shop I used (Suzuki let me choose) and they did an excellent job matching paint. 2. Even more important, so far no chips anywhere. 3. Suzuki corporate has called me, as well as the dealer,...

Re: update on 3m Bra

Can you take a picture of yours installed?

Where is it installed on the car? And where did you buy and have it installed?

Mine is getting repainted in a week. Deciding what to do afterwards.
