I found mine on Facebook Marketplace. I had like 15-20 lined up before the Saturday I was going looking. The Suzuki owners were the first to show interest. Test drove and bought on the spot. Was happy to find a keeper on the first try. When I bought my wife’s Civic, it was like the last thing I looked at on a Sunday,…

Mine is dark blue, and the stock wheels are dark grey. It was probably in an accident, as the trunk is slightly misaligned, and the whole thing looks like it was resprayed in someone’s garage and not polished afterward. I only paid $3500 total for it, so I’m not complaining.
Maybe where you are but here in Erie, PA Suzuki cars were were quite popular. We had the number one volume Suzuki dealer in the US for the last few years they sold them here. The SX4 was the perfect for the local market, cheap and awd. The awd Kasashi was popular too. You still see a reasonable number of Sx4s and…
The Daewukis were a death sentence. GM’s fault. Damn damn damn.
The Kizashi was a damn good car. If the GM partnership hadn’t dissolved, it was getting a GM sourced V6. A string of poor management decisions, essentially zero marketing budget and the legacy of those rebadged Daewoo shit boxes doomed the auto group. Suzuki cars built in Japan are dead solid.
The only problems with the Kizashi was that it was smaller than what most midsize sedan buyers are looking for, and that it was following on the heels of a string of mediocre rebadged Daewoos that alienated a lot of people that otherwise would have looked at Suzuki.
Speaking of Equinox bones...
Suzuki was a decent player until they essentially became present-day Mitsubishi a in the early 2000s. The swift would have sold much better than the Aerio or SX4, and certainly would have compared favorably against the Yaris, early Fit, Aveo, etc.
As a rather new Kizashi owner, I agree, it’s a great car. With all there is in this car, if 2012 me had $20k and no knowledge of Suzuki leaving the US soon, I’d have bought it.
OK, so to remedy that we should all drive 3/4 tons lifted and with 600hp? That must be the only solution because anything else is too small or too underpowered. /s
The Kizashi really was a great car, but no one bought it. I test drove one for fun after they came out and walked away pretty damn impressed.
1990s Swift GTi was the real bomb. 100HP ~1800lbs. Also, though much cruder, I think that this era was the best looking. Nice clean shell on wheels.
Logic. Not compute. Overheat.
I may not be the brightest bulb, but that seems pretty stupid.
Why do you need two cars to go somewhere with two kids ?
I know what I’ve got! No Low Ballers!
There's a couple of these crazy person vans I see around town. They're never plastered in left-wing conspiracy scrawlings.
Looks like Fox news will be running a 24/24 Benghazi special over the next few days.
I had a Dodge Omni once, easily the most fragile car ever produced by Chrysler. Somebody rear-ended me on slick pavement at what had to be at least 10 mph on impact. NOT A SCRATCH. IIRC, those bumpers were extruded aluminum with rubber trim, and did not stick out into the next ZIP code.
