Suzuki Kizashi Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

[123456789027012]

I CAN"T FIND A DEALER!!!

[ClayborneEricaLauren]

i just bought the SLS 2011 suzuki kizashi and it drives like a dream come true i talked the dealer down to 18,000 because it was used but only had 30,000 mi on it with all of the suped up gadgets that came with this one its new fresh off the lot price would have been 34,000 so i got an amazing deal for an amazing car!

[Sagr1987]

I want the AWD drive one sooo bad O_O but its not offered with MT??!? NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO

[Imac717]

Camry drivers disliked this video...

[alleghenyman]

Very happy with mine. I wanted a sports sedan, my wife wanted something that felt refined. It's a very well-rounded car that is smooth on the highway and competitive at autocross. Everything about it from the handling to the way the doors and trunk open and close feels balanced and poised.

Peeves are few - I wish the doors automatically unlocked when I opened them from inside and the front bumper paint is fragile.

Test drive one and you won't be disappointed.

[EnvyHK]

damn this car looks good. i always thought it was an oversized entry level sedan...so its an undersized, mid class sedan...xD the exterior is damn good. The rear is very noticable in the crowd. Just wish its performance is as good as it looks.

[columbuscrewfan20]

Cool name

[DCLT05]

@columbuscrewfan20 I don't know, whenever I hear it, I just want to say "Gesundheit." Don't get me wrong though, love the car. The name is simply not marketable in the US, too Japanese. I know, I work in market research at one of the top branding companies. It's not a race thing, just a cultural thing, the average US consumer can't relate, which is really a shame b/c this seems to be a very good car.

[racers115]

@DCLT05 They said exactly the same things back when Toyota stepped way out on a limb and decided to name their flagship car (at the time) with a Japanese name - Camry (kanmuri) which means "Crown" in Japanese. Upto now Suzuki's biggest hit was another of their cars with a Japanese name... the SAMURAI and guess what? That extremely Japanese Sounding name was a smash hit! Cultural or not, marketable or not ;o)

[shekhar240877]

Just bought it....loving my car....best in it's class.....definitely much better than Cam and Acc in built and refinement

[glenlackey2]

Just test drove a SLS Red AWD with 3Way Memory Seats, Duel Climate, Leather, Sunroof, Navigation, Backup Camera's, Push Button Start, Keyless Entry, Rain Sensitive Wipers, Auto Lights, Ambient Lighting, 425 Watt stero, 29mpg, 180hp, bluetooth, mp3 and wireless, auto gas cap lock, 18" wheels, 5 star crash rating, F1 paddle shifting, No timing belt to change either. I am buying it. Done deal.

[ukervor4]

убойное точило, жаль у нас не продают )

[TeeDog63]

I just bought a 2011 S with some options. So far I'm impressed. I hope that the car will last me a long time.

[briannwo1900]

I also forgot to mention that you can adjust the drivers seat(power) and mirrors to your liking and then push a button and save your settings. Up to 3 people can set things the way they want them and then push a button to save the settings. If you share the car with 1-2 other people then you only need to get in the car and push either # 1,2 or 3 button on the side of the seat to have the car adjust everything to you. A cool idea i think.

[briannwo1900]

I just purchased a Black Kizashi SE for exactly $20,000. I love the thing! AWD and auto transmition. The SE has a ton of features! No reason to even upgrade after the SE but even the top of the line Kizashi can be had for like $24,000 if you wheel and deal. I looked at the Honda CRV, Kia sportage and Toyota Rav 4 and it was a no brainer for the price! Way cooler and more comfortable than any of the 3 and way cheaper with more features to!

[VINCENZO160793]

nice name....the KIZASHI! i feel like punching a wooden block everytime i say the word...KIZASHI!

[Ebbsilen]

What a car! It was time to Suzuki to offer a car at the level of their talent. Just need to put a performance package something like a V6 and rwd and it's the key to success.

[wppdoes]

@Ebbsilen They already tried it with a V6 but the car is better with a 4-cylinder because the V6 made the front end too heavy. They are already working on a turbo-4 model and also a turbo-diesel. The car is already available in AWD i don't see a need for RWD considering that.

[KatiushaVN4]

that's car is not small, not at all

[robchapman86]

Good Review , i just got an sls model and love it. Great warranty and safety features.

[adriannippy]

The Kizashi GTI version with a hot turbo engine is sure next ... just like what they 've always done with generations of the iconic Swfit GTI. Wait up!

[Sykarus]

good review! Thumbs up!

[adamizorrr]

@WIGTRON5000 The car isn't 29k. Kizashi starts at 19k, and a loaded GTS version comes in around 23k. You can even get the AWD version for around 22k. In addition to that, Suzuki is running all kinds of incentives right now like $1000 cash back, free gasoline for summer, ZERO % financing. The 29k they mentioned in this video is ONLY if you get the most expensive version and then load up on top of that every possible option. 99% of buyers wouldn't even do that.

[pergousongandra]

I just found out that accords have major rear brake problems! I want one of theses one day!

[IceNineX]

This car is DAMN awesome. Seeing all those annoying Youtube ads finally pushed me to see a review of this car and it is GREAT. Looks like a mini Lexus IS-F!

[kdcr1]

the speakers at 2:10 are a bitch to remobe. it took me almost an hour to R&R the first time i did it, i work at suzuki

[monsterdare]

love this car.

[sexyboi142]

im gettin this

[BetterDayz19]

"the interior is very close to that of a German car (BMW, VW, Audi)"

[vdubwhore]

Best review!

[valetdabess]

in australia suzuki will give you $200 if you test drive one and end up buying one of its rivals

[blakespower]

@valetdabess why? that's retarded

[Bulgdoom]

Turbo > AWD

[swiftprov]

don't see why you would pay 30k for this car fully loaded... i need more power scotty!

[MercedesLover91]

thats my favorite cheap car price:18000

[jvrdlc]

rele nice car.. i'm amazed

[KPKonliner]

great car but havent sure if its a mid size cuz da size is semi compact,semi mid size

[GBraidi78]

It's a nice car, it sure doesn't look like your typical Suzuki at all however it does look like like the jetta in the front and kind of like the civic coupe in the back if I am not mistaken!!

[Zygotepro]

looks like lexus IS and a vw Jetta had a baby.

[ejuoi]

yea I thought I saw this car today but it was just the Lexus IS it looks almost identical except that the IS lights are thinner.

[firstmusic00]

My biggest concern with this car is the lack of dealer network. There aren't very many of them.

[sdlausen]

VERY VERY NICE! An actual mid sized car that hasn't grown into boat like proportions like the Accord/Camry. Good job Suzuki.

[itsoverforuman]

Exactly! I would by this car just because I dont want to be like every1 else. I checked Accord, Camry, ans even Sonata but the Cam and Acc dont appeal to me in exterior or interior decor. Plus they dont have my favorite scheme combo of dark blue ext. and black leather interior. Now low and behold, SUZUKI has those features and the car doesnt look like a vessel(accord) or a metalic manatee(camry) In closing, the caris just plane cool looking. USUALLY ur frst impressions are tru and mine is WINNER

[jumar1281]

@itsoverforuman

i have the same opinion.... which is why i ended up going with the mazda 6

[briannwo1900]

@sdlausen

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

@sdlausen yeah toyota and honda thinks they can raise the price high just to enlarge dimensions lol...

[anurek123]

KIZAAASHIIIEEEEEE!!!! :X D, sounds cool :P

[tomriley123]

It looks exactly like a VW like he said. It looks like an Eos, which is a good thing. All these lower brands like Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru are making very nice cars looking and engines, but there quality and crash rates suck! Anyways nice car.

[sparkss4]

I think it looks overweight.

[Friauf1]

Back lights are looking like Subaru - Impreza sedan a lill bit

[maheshcx]

@CDTbossy american suck.. the cobalt is a rental peice of shit

[gunzkevin]

You can't just say that all american cars suck. The Fusion won car of the year and keeps on winning comparison tests, the fiesta that is coming will be great, same with the focus, the new edge, new mustang with it's great engines, the taurus is a great deal for the features you can get that would be found on luxury vehicles, and all the new lincolns are reviewed very well.

[maheshcx]

thats true i agree not all american suck

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

the 2010 Ford Focus is pretty good, go fuck your mom bitch

[maheshcx]

haha it sucks.. and terrible resale value!! wow i would buy a civic in that class but im good with my 2007 audi a6

[swissmrkc]

29k fully loaded....for that.... given their resale value for the brand thats pretty lame

[minibus1351]

fuck this. just wait until the new Sonata comes out.

[davewhodavedunn]

Not a bad looking car, and seems well built but does not look or even seem worthy of a $20,000-$29,000 price tag.

Suzuki as a brand is not at that level yet.

Comparing the Sonata, accord, camry, mazda 6 sonata vs this, wow, I don't think so, they all kick it's ass and then some. I would never even have a thought of even going to a Suzuki dealership to view this vs any of the other's, get your head straight suzuki.

This will be and probably already is a sales slump, no one will buy it.

[bamac2008]

Its smaller in the inside than I thought it would be..

[StewieGriffin774]

this car should have lower MSRP

[msxv05]

29k for AWD? thats almost the price of an Evo or STI

[sheemobile]

Suzuki really needs to get their head in the game. Toyota's down for the moment, now is their chance

[r1a9y]

i hate that piller column that limits visibility!

[marlles9]

it kinda looks like a vw cc.....kinda

[Latincitizen]

This is a nice car, I'd be considering it, but the new sonata is really attractive.

[moderndesignworks]

mmmmmmmmm...................th­is car is about 2 years too late and about 3 grand too much..........I will take the new Hyundai Sonata any time any day over this car. I liked this car when I saw the photo awhile back, but not anymore........not for the price or the design compare to Hyundai or Kia.

[Sharod101]

wow. this is impressive for Suzuki.

i'd consider buying/leasing one now. its really not bad for its price setting and its a pretty sick looking ride.

[rediband]

It needs to be $4K cheaper across the board to balance the higher depreciation and succeed against the majors. It will only be a niche car. Too bad.

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

kbb - your background scratching noise is very irritating, can you change it or leave it out, I found it hard to watch the video with that noise always coming up, sounds like static, not pleasant at all.

[bluestarkad17]

29K?!?!?!?!?...i like this car, but for the price there is so many more better looking cars that competes with this...

[MazdamusPrime]

being partionaly owened by gm gave them a bad rep i suppose and with mitsubishi computers (that has broken on me on two diffrent suv's) are really expensive.

[quatlen]

What a boring car!

[champ1193]

id buy one

[NadrianATRS]

I feel sorry for this company, this new car looks cool but they've made nothing but dumb cars for so many years it's hard to get people to pay attention to them now

[lbart2005]

@NadrianATRS Not all their cars were dumb. Example Suzuki Swift GT of the late eighties early nineties. They were Honda SI killers. They went like stink and handled like go-carts. Awsome cars.

[jayz4evr]

not bad

[2007SHELBYGT500KR]

nice
