Re: All wheel drive. Anyone notice a difference?

as it was explained to me once.....the "AWD" button will put the car primarily into a 50/50 distribution. The AWD Kizashi's always have the AWD on (even with AWD button off), and if needed traction control will use it to distribute power to the rear or back to the front. Even if you push t...

Re: CVT lowest Gear Ratio

if you feel a lag even in the manual mode, then there could be something wrong...i'd get it checked out.

Re: CVT lowest Gear Ratio

my CVT used to feel slow in the first 15, to the degree that I just used the manual mode when starting from a stop. But after the update to the CVT it's been a different animal, pulls out from stop so nicely that I don't see the need for the manual mode

did you guys get your CVT module updated yet??

Suzuki vs. other automakers

just to put things in perspective, Suzuki vs. others. Of course, Suzuki corp. has other lines of production (bikes, marines, etc) as well. "In 2009, SMC sold more than 2.3 million new cars and trucks and more than 2.8 million motorcycles and ATVs" Subaru (Fuji) stood at 491,352, BMW at 1,2...

Re: ***WARNING AIRBAG GLITCH***

how exactly is this "not a suzuki thing".....did you notice the OP was referring to the SUZUKI kizashi...I own one too, but I don't let the "pride" factor to take over my judgment.

I hope Suzuki investigates this for you, please keep us posted.
