2015 Suzuki Kizashi Sport Touring review
Owner Review | 29 May 2018
I lusted after a Kizashi ever since seeing photos of the concept model and thinking what an aggressive (for conservative Suzuki) design it was! Finally, the Kizashi was released in Australia but I was put off by the watered-down design, high initial purchase price and limited model range, so bought a "Korean Holden" instead. This Kizashi came to me in June 2017 when I spotted it in a dealer's yard with a "special" sticker price and only 19,000kms on the clock. I was smitten after a test drive and after all these months I'm still in love. My previous car was a front wheel drive turbo diesel with a normal 6-speed automatic so it took a little time to adjust to the different driving dynamics of the Kizashi. And what dynamics they are! The Kizashi drives quietly with plenty of pep from the 2.4lt free-revving engine which has proven to be economical, sipping standard ULP at an average of 7.4lts/100kms around town. It's very comfortable with supportive seats and adjustable driving position and, surprising to me, feel's quite spacious. I had expected to feel cramped after "downsizing" from my larger family-sized sedan but don't feel I've lost any usable space, such is the well designed layout of the cabin. The chunky steering wheel is adjustable for height and reach, the controls feel substantial with no flimsy plastics and all the buttons and dials are within easy reach. The Kizashi design is sporty with the integrated spoiler, the beautifully designed dual exhausts, side skirts, chrome highlights and big wheels. It feels very solid to drive, like it's carved out of a solid chunk of metal, the doors close with a reassuring "thunk", and the fit and finish are superb. The car rides smoothly on the 18" alloys (with a full-size alloy spare in the spacious boot!) and the steering and suspension are an absolute revelation after my previous car. The CVT (not my favourite choice of transmission) works very well with little droning and feels like a normal auto with the programmed 6 steps (congrats to Suzuki for sorting that out!) and the brakes (discs all round) are excellent. While mine is the "base model" in the lineup I don't feel any sense of missing out on too many important features (except for a reversing camera and sensors - the latter I've had installed!). All round vision is very good and the compact dimensions make parking easy. It has been totally reliable and I'm confident of a long-term relationship with this car! My only criticisms are to the old-fashioned bonnet prop-rod and the gooseneck hinges in the boot (my previous older model sedan had gas struts at both ends). The Kizashi was discontinued, which is a real pity because it is a superbly executed sedan. It could have been an entirely different buying proposition with the 1.4lt turbo!
2011 Suzuki Kizashi XL review
Owner Review | 15 Jul 2017
bought this car for the power and economy also very stylish body shape,the technology in cabin is adequate but not a point i worry about too much as long as it gets up and goes when i plant my foot which oh boy it does ,cant see where some say it needs bigger donk. Finds 100k/hr in less than 6 secs which is at odds with specs i have read but i am not complaining ,after reading othr reviews beginning to think its a jekyl and hyde type motor.Absolutely gutted i didnt buy the awd sport model but the deal we were offerd on a standard sedan ex rental was too good to turn down. The paddle shift is useful forholding on hills but cant be compared to manual which frankly i dont miss. My biggest gripe so far would be that the whole front bumper assembly has to come off to replace the headlight bulbs which we have had to do 3 times so problems there as at some stage a lazy suzuki mechanic in suzukis Timaru dealership cut a hole in the lights body obviously to facitate easier changing but causing dirt to enter the light!!. Human nature i suppose. I cant believe Suzuki have discontinued the Kisashi they have really failed to develop this car and what a lost opportunity. If they turboed this power plant and standardised AWD similar to the sport model they would have a real hot car that would appeal to the younger generation .Suzuki could look at getting better headrests as i find my head is pushed forward and it is not comfortable over a long drive and they cannot be altered ,although i have taken mine out and with a bit of gas and brute strength bent the holders back ,alot better if your designers need any tips!.We bought our car off a Hollands franchise and they very rarely came up at private car dealers which had me wondering if the dealerships where strangling the model. Certainly the requirment to have the car serviced 100 kms away was onerous on us and now its out of warranty we get it serviced locally.
2015 Suzuki Kizashi Sport Touring review
Owner Review | 26 Jun 2017
I've always "lusted after" the Kizashi since it was launched but the new car price was out of my reach at the time. Finally I've been able to buy a recent model from a dealer a few weeks ago & so far I'm delighted. My previous car was a 2010 turbo diesel sedan with a "normal" 6-speed automatic so it's taking a little while to adjust to the different driving dynamics. The Kizashi is smooth, very comfortable with supportive seats & adjustable driving position & is, surprisingly, spacious - I had expected to feel a bit cramped after downsizing from a larger family-sized sedan but don't feel I've lost any usable space such is the well designed layout of the cabin & with lots of storage places & cup holders. The car feels very solid, like it's carved out of a solid chunk of metal, the doors close with a reassuring "thunk", & the fit & finish is superb with minimal gaps. The car rides smoothly on the 18" alloys (with a full-size alloy spare too!) with the wheels set at the corner extremities of the car, the steering & suspension are a revelation over my previous sedan, the CVT actually works very well with little "droning" & feels like a normal auto transmission (congrats to Suzuki for sorting theirs out!) & the brakes are excellent. While mine is the "base model" in the lineup there's no sense of missing out on too many important features (except for reversing sensors!) as the car is very well equipped. Outward vision is very good but I will be having reversing sensors installed (not a standard fitting) because of the high boot lip & sporty-looking spoiler obscuring the rearward view. My only early criticisms are to the old-fashioned bonnet prop-rod & the gooseneck hinges in the boot (my previous older model sedan has gas struts at both ends). Size-wise the Kizashi sits between medium & small sedans, so not too big & not too small as far as I'm concerned, but I think that was part of its problem - what category to put this car in? The Kizashi was discontinued which is a real pity because it is a truly superb sedan.

2012 Suzuki Kizashi Touring Review
Owner Review | 7 May 2016
After owning a manual version of the Kizashi for almost 4 years now I can honestly claim to be a very satisfied owner. What some people claim to be a weakness of the Kizashi (its size midway between a Mazda 3 and a Mondeo) was its appeal to my small family. I love driving and favour handling & ride compromise over other areas. In this department, the Kizashi has received commendations around the world. Its balance and structural integrity for a mid-sized family car for the proletariat is simply spot on. My brother who drives a 2013 Mazda 6 believes that my Kizashi has similar handling attributes but superior comfort to his car. He also believes that the Kizashi's brakes and gearbox are also better. I concur, obviously. His service intervals are at 10,000; the Kizashi's is 15,000. The lovely Honda Accord Euro which I drove before choosing the Kizashi had a wonderful gearbox but for me a less precise steering, gulped a lot more 95 octane (Kizashi 91) and had service intervals at 10,000k. On countless highway trips from Cairns to Brisbane and back, the Kizashi was so comfortable and consumed only 6.3l per 100k; around 6.6 with the air-con on during some 38 degree summer hauls. Since it has been so poorly marketed by a small budgetted Suzuki it is also rare - this makes it have great cache as it is vary attractive and unique. Not one thing has gone wrong which makes my dealer's special deal of a 5 year warranty seem redundant. The Caradvice review noted the solidity of the engineering and it just adds to the joy of ownership knowing that Suzuki spent so much money in the design of this car before its release in 2010. It was not a good timeto release such as car in post GFC times. The only thing that I would place on the wish list would be more low down torque. Regardless, like all drivers purchasing different cars, I just adjusted when I would shift from 2nd to 3rd and that little alteration has largely negated that wish. Pity that more magazine road tests did not test the manual vs the sluggish CVT model as they would have highlighted that Suzuki had two distinctly different cars mainly due to its gearbox choices. Some American tests recorded 0-96k in 7.5 sec; when overtaking was done on the Hway this figure seems right because the manual has a very deceptive turn of speed. In my spare time I often browse through the net and look at hugely deprectiated sports cars (Renault Megane RS 265, Alfa Guiletta QV, Opel OPC) or others but ultimately I look at my Suzi and come to the conclusion "But you do everything I want so competently." I would like to have a car with integrated GPS and did not like the amateur add on that Suzuki did in 2014. But many people told me of the rip off that some dealers do to update maps. So my external TomTom fits the bill perfectly as I can take it on trips and plug it into hire cars without incurring an additional charge. Anyway, I loathe the pop up display in Mazda 3s that interfere with visibility all the time and impede in the smothness of the dashboard layout. Badge snobbery and poor marketing ensured that I purchased the Kizashi cheaply and in 2020 when I might consider passing it onto another lucky owner, I will not even think about low 3 year depreciation rates. Perhaps one of the finest second hand buys any Australian can get if looking for something a little bigger than current top market sellers such as Mazda 3, dull Corolla and i30.
