Suzuki Kizashi Video Review - Kelley Blue Book

Suzuki is probably best known for their small rugged SUVs but the brand would very much like to win over car buyers as well. Solid efforts like the small SX4 have helped but its Kizashi the brands mid-size entry that has the best chance of transforming Suzuki into a more mainstream car outlet.

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

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

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!

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

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.

@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)

@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.

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.

Cool name
