Re: how to adjust headlights left and right.

I've noticed that the lights aren't perfectly centered on the horizontal (X) axis. They are adjusted with a slight bias to the right; as if they are purposely aimed away from oncoming traffic and didn't want this changed - maybe due to U.S. DOT or NHTSB recommendations or something. I assume they h...

Re: Lights on with wipers

Thanks for the info, I'm definitely going to give this a try. I've had quite a few rainy drives when I felt the lights should have turned on, but they didn't, as it was still not dark enough.

Re: new tires

The price is comparable to the Dunlop tires, i'm surprised Suzuki didn't go with these. For the same reason you won't see Hankook, Kumho, or Goodyear tires ... Dunlop is a Japanese company, and Continental is not. Not sure about that. My wife's Mitsubishi Outlander came with Goodyear tires (and it ...

Re: 2012 Kizashi Turbo - Real? Saw one today!

As much as I'd like to see a turbo myself, I'm afraid this was nothing more than a "cosmetic" upgrade. Anybody can slap a turbo badge on the trunk lid and act all mysterious when asked for details... The guy doesn't strike me as a proud owner of a turbo version, he acts more like somebody ...

Re: Projector Beam Out....Right Side ??

The right side bulb is fairly easy to change. You'll have to feel your way around, as you can't really see what you're doing, but not too bad. The left side one can also be changed without removing the bumper (I've done it twice already), there are some instructions in the owner's manual. Not easy, ...

Re: Push Start Button - Engine Cranks for at least 10 second

I've had this happening to me twice, about a year ago, a couple of months or so after I bought the car. Didn't experience it since. So I wouldn't worry unless it becomes a regular occurrence.

Whistling noise from the (driver) side window

I've had the car for a little more than a year (1 year in June) and, recently, I started to notice a whistling noise at speeds around 60-70km/h (~40mph), coming from the side window. Once over 80km/h the whistling goes away and the regular wind noise starts to take over. It's a new development, as I...

Re: Noises

I'm hoping it will pass but not confident. Yes the vibration at low RPMs is very annoying, its no wonder things start to make noise. I came from a V6 also. What gas did you find works best? I settled for the super clean version (91) from Petro-Canada. Not sure what the equivalent would be south of ...
