Kizashi Club

It's kinda cool I have TWO Kizashis in my yard......

Now that I think of it, there is something on my door panel that rattles when I close it. I thought that I had it identified but as of now I can’t remember. I got used to it lol. It was a very small rattle, if it could even be called that. Something that just got loose. I don’t know if it got fixed when the door panel was removed three times in mid-‘19, that’s how little I pay attention to it. I think it may have had to do with the rubber stopper on the bottom being loose compared to the one on the passenger front door, which does not rattle. I couldn’t get it in any tighter, though.

Are both of your Kizashis silver, or just the new one?

old one's dark blue, new is silver

1/28/2021 63,494 miles had the CVT fluid changed.

Car needs its flex pipe replaced, and has a low-beam bulb dark.....Rear sway bar bushings are worn and the bar rattles. Otherwise it's all good underneath, and the drive proves it.

Still struggling to get the TPMS hack completed.

Last tank Mobil premium 24.6 MPG.

Miss having Bluetooth; NBD.


Still haven't floored it...........




63,535

At 63k it's well broken in. Let 'er rip...

Other than its few flaws, number four runs very well. It has good mid-range pull, it handles precisely, and its brakes provide sufficient whoa. All in all, a great $6,000 car.
Its accelerator has been pushed with more authority (I mean, I hadda pass).......




63,942

At 64,127 miles I finally floored it.
Naturally, it occurred on a 25 MPH-marked curvy snow-covered dirt road.

20 miles later I used the manual gear selection function for its first time.

Everything went fine.


Last tank Mobil premium 24.4MPG.




PS slush has absolute disregard for one's intention

Heater works.
Whew.



64,365

MPG slowly improving; last tank Mobil premium 26.5.

Took it dancing yesterday (without constant full-throttle manipulation) and was again reminded how stellar the engineering done. Thank you Suzuki.





65,099

Had an 88-mile tank deliver just over 22MPG (ha!); last one was 24.9. Excessive idle time on these winter days......


My dancing has been held to 7/10s or less, because I want to get its oil changed before constant throttle-smashing occurs.


Who's read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"?
I ask only since my wife suggested it might be a good idea to keep the old one: "for parts, or maybe get a wrecked one cheap that has a tranny you could swap" (sadly, she is aware of my mechanical abilities).
But still, two of them are mine mine mine!

On Valentines Day I eyeballed the new Caddy CT4 and CT5 at our 'local' dealer, and plan on test-driving both AWD V models if/when I find them.
