Re: Close to buy a Kizashi Sport: Questions

I heard this from a friend that tested the car a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't run to 60 MPH (100 Km/H), but he tried to change the gear with the paddle shifters at a lower speed (don't know how), and according to him 5 was the highest. It is normal that a low speed the gear doesn't go to 6? Or i...

Re: Cabin Air Filter

Hi, I went back to the store with my original one, and was able to find one that is a perfect match, a CF10546 ($20.00 CAN). The only modification required was the removal of a small appendix on one side. This model is used on Suzuki Swift. Where did you find the Fram CF10546 for $20.00 CAN, if you...

Re: Towing?

SO, we wonder: what is it about Kizashis sold in Canada (and maybe the U.S. - American owners please check your owner's manuals!) that they can't tow like in Aus and Blighty? I'd say it's the fact that, apart from the Sport model sold last year (if they did sell any of those at all), all models in ...

Re: Black out your Bumper without paint

I have the Azure Gray and I can't make up my mind as to what would look better. I think the matte one looks cooler on any colour. ;-) On a slightly related note, it's a year and a half/two winters later for me, and the whole thing looks as good as on day one. So not sure about the other methods sug...

I would agree, if this was the case from the beginning. But it wasn't, for me this started happening a few months ago. I don't worry too much about it, but I don't think it's a feature, either. :-)

Re: Rubbing noise when taking your foot off the brake

Yep, I noticed something like this for a while. It seems to come from the right front wheel for me, usually at the beginning of a drive after the car has been sitting for a few hours at least. It usually goes away after I apply the brakes a few times. It feels like the brake does not disengage right...

Re: Cabin Air Filter

Had the filter replaced last week. The service manager let me in on a "secret": the kizashi can use a suzuki swift filter. He put the two side by side and, apart from a couple of small plastic wings on the swift filter (that he clipped away), everything else was good (the swift filter seem...

Re: Squeaking noise from rear, seems cold weather related

Hey babacu? Any updates?? Last year, things were a bit better after the visit to the shop, but I remember it was not completely fixed. Didn't go back to them, though, as I didn't have time until the weather warmed up. This winter's been very mild in Ontario, I haven't heard the noise at all. Wouldn...

Re: How can the left low beam lightbulb be changed?

I suggest you start with the passenger's side one, to get a feeling of how the clamp is to be opened. That's the toughest part and it helps if you get a bit of practice with the one that's not so hard to open. I've done it three times so far (those bright bulbs don't last the year) and I still strug...
