Sentinel, I noticed you got your 2012 Sport for $20k back in Dec 2013. Was this the advertised price or did you have to negotiate for it?

I'm seriously considering selling/trading my current Kizashi and getting a Sport model, preferably in black

Count one more. Out in Mission. I occasionally see a nice grey sport out here with a Chilliwack Suzuki licence plate frame.

Actually the Sport I got was advertised at $16995, at the time if the test drive. But I was still deliberating since I had yet to test drive some other cars I was interested in. By the time I made up my mind a day or two later the price was corrected to $19995. The Dealership had made a mistake.

$16995 for a 2012 Sport, Leather Seats, RF Speaker etc was a little too good of a deal. There was no car close to that price with the options. I looked at Toyota Camry and VW Jetta, which were all asking for $20k and no leather, basic stereo, reverse sensors etc. So I ended up paying the $19k which is still a deal compared with the others.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about the 3 Authorized Suzuki Service Dealerships in the Lower Mainland? North Van , Tri Cities and Richmond.

Another member here had better experiences with North Vancouver. Apparently Richmond likes to add on extra BS services to their free oil changes.

Anyone with a Kizashi that had an aftermarket 2 DIN Multimedia/Navi Deck installed by a local Car Audio Installer?

I have an Alpine 2-din in mine, it was fairly easy to install the deck. Sounded ok with the RF amp, but really didn't drive the sub very well. The factory hu must have some heavy eq'ing. Ended up bypassing the amp and running an Alpine amp as well, complete with Dolby 5.1, and all Alpine speakers too. Blew the factory sub, and added two twelves and another amp.

Did you lose steering controls after installing the Kenwood Deck?

How much did that all cost?
