Best value quality car

I've owned a BMW 735 and 3 SAABs. The number of standard features in the Kizashi is amazing for it's price range. Many options on other cars costing up to $20K are standard on the Kizashi. The AWD works marvelously on ice and snow here in Quebec City. The 4 cylinder is no match for the SAAB turbo-4. But I don't feel the need to drag race anymore. At speed, the car is very responsive and handling is sooo positive. The car simply goes where you point it without any sway or lean. With the steering wheel gear pads, I can simply over-ride the CVT with the left side pad to downshift....when I let up on the gas, the automatic, uh, automatically kicks in. REALLY cool ! Oh yes...this car is ultra quiet. More than my SAAB 9-5 and definitely more than my SAAB 9-3 convertibles. And the seat motors don't whine. I can drive fatigue-free for hours. This car is a simple pleasure to drive....and it'll save you plenty compared to the big name cars.

Kizashi - Paint Chip Issues

Warning!!!!Do not buy the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi unless you want to pay for a new paint job after a couple years. I bought one this Aug. and within 50 km I had paint chips on both front doors and the hood. Suzuki will not admit the problem even though the paint chip issue is well documented by others on auto forums. Check out the posts on Kizashi Club forum and Suzuki form for details. Buyer beware!!! Shame on you Suzuki.
