I love my kizashi. In the shop as it needs alot of repairs and its expensive to do as they are discontinued and there are not parts and need to be custom made. They did not sell well so its hard to find scrap parts.
@@WiltedRaven2 Yeah that makes sense re: pets being hard to find, it’s too bad they didn’t sell more of those cars; seemed like they were great “bang for buck” vehicles
@@WiltedRaven2 How has your Kizashi been holding up? How many miles does it have now? We've heard mixed messages about it. Some people have said it is very reliable while others have said the opposite.
That Suzuki engine is bulletproof. There are examples here in Switzerland with 360.000km still runing strong. 6 speed manual is a great car and consumption is pretty decent for 2.4 natural aspirated engine. I had on average 7.1 liters in summer and 7.8 in Winter. And the Kizashi safety crash rating was way better then some BMW or Mercedes from 2011-2015.
@@rkt81 That CVT tranny can be kept alive longer then usuall. The problem is that there are no many which can service them as they have a long life oil in it. If you don't rev it high and change oil it can last long. Manual has not been sold in North America and is a quite reliable and makes fun while driving.
Back in my school days ... I was mesmerised by the way this Suzuki looked and when I drove it for real .. this was way ahead than overrated Honda civic.... The exhaust note is so unique, it's very nimble but was so good to be true ....
@@KingdomAuto you have got a subscriber ... Loved your videos ...just a suggestion - it would be great if you guys can show the specs of the vehicles before the drag so it can be intuitive - plus your opinion and experience of the vehicles will also take your videos to next level
@@cyrilmatthew2995 Thanks for the sub and for the feedback - Not sure if you saw but we do list the vehicle specs in the Intro. In this video you can see the figures starting at 1:06 + we have them up side by side at 1:32. Additionally at 9:03 we have a "conclusion" where we share our thoughts about the vehicles and the race - we do this for every race :) Hope that helps
I really like Suzuki's car & SUV line but parts for low volume cars like the liana, kizashi are expensive kinda like Hyundai Azera, xg350, genesis, Kia Amanti, cadenza etc. With the VW product you get more affordable parts but lower reliability.
Yeah that makes sense for sure. Some of the higher production cars can be very reliable at times as well, like the engine in this Jetta, that 2.5 is a fantastic option. Has good power and they last a really long time
Glad you are enjoying the content :) Much more to come! and if you feel so inclined; please share with your friends and family to help us grow and continue :)
Was thinking about going to a Suzuki Swift Sport for my next car but since these Kizashi's go for the same price it seems to be the better option to go for. More luxury, a bit more room and practical and very unqiue. I usually dont like sedans but for some reason I really like the Kizashi.
Nice, yeah the Kizashi does seem to offer a lot of “bang for buck” in terms of options. Seems to be a great car overall. Even despite having many more kilometres than the Jetta, it still won the race too.
Idk but i used to absolutely fucking hate the kizashi its been in my family for like 5 or 6 years and i have despised it until now that im starting to use it and its kinda growing on me cuz its kinda short ,a bit stocky, and rounded kinda like mechagodzilla 2 which i also used to hate but now has also grown on me
@@nuclear_angelx1111 Ever try launching on a damp surface with worn tires? All you get is wheel spin which significantly slows the car down. We launched that car several times off camera to get the best possible time and every launch where we even went near the throttle too hard, the tires drastically spun, significantly slowing the 1/4 mile time. Nothing at all wrong with the shifting, it was quick and precise and right at redline. Only issue was the first race, when shifting to second, traction control cut throttle because the tires spun going into 2nd. It’s so easy to troll from behind the computer. Post your own stuff of your driving skills, we’d be happy to see it

Suzuki Kizashi is so under rated. Its fast and good looking.
Agreed! The one in the video had close to 300,000kms too, and still made good power.

They definitely seem to be underrated cars for sure.
@@KingdomAuto Agree.
400k+ in my 2011 kizashi awd in Canada. On my second tranny but still solidly doing its job

Manual Kizashi is a beast
It really is a great vehicle, very under rated!
@@KingdomAuto it could be it's advantage to buy it chip specially manual can hold up very long time with little maintance
@@saeedkizzy very true :)
Love the Kizashi. Thanks for that fun video!
Thanks for your comment! That Kizashi is quite the car!
Lots more racing content to come as well so feel free to stay tuned :)
When the kizashi was in production Suzuki was in talks with VW to be acquired, I think VW owned 35% of Suzuki.
Wow cool info to know! Had no idea!
it was close to 20% which later Suzuki bought back
Back in my school days ... I was mesmerised by the way this Suzuki looked and when I drove it for real .. this was way ahead than overrated Honda civic....
The exhaust note is so unique, it's very nimble but was so good to be true ....
The Kizashi is definitely an underrated vehicle for sure. For the price and the options it came with, it was great value for money :)

Finally you you guys came back 🤩🤩 next race sonata 1.6T and accord 1.5T will be interesting race
Haven’t been able to find either of those cars yet but still working on it :)
Really enjoy what you do!

Please do drag race of honda accord 2011 model and suzuki kizashi 2012
Thanks for your suggestion, if we can get both of those models we will make it happen :)
Siempre será mejor carro el Kizashi que el Jetta!
:D :D
Are these kisashis reliable?
We don’t have too much experience with them but the one we used in this video had over 220,000kms and was still going strong :)
Ask the question of google, I just did and the Suzuki is super reliable
@@stephenday1520 yeah they’re super reliable but am not sure about this model ,
@@Dabal_R I looked it up on google the Kizashi is at least as reliable as any other Suzuki
@@stephenday1520 ok thanks bro
Honda accord 2.4 and suzuki kizashi race
Will try to make it happen :)
Be careful about doing too much free revving, especially after just starting the engines.
The engines are always warm for the exhaust tests :)
Find it funny how they pronounce VW.... I really got used to Folksvagen
Haha makes total sense! In reality, the way you pronounce it is proper. But in North America we always pronounce the “V” that’s funny
@@KingdomAuto Commercials in Mexico always used to say at the end "Folksvagen"

What do you mean by this?
It's been a while...
Yep, it had been a busy summer!

INDIA ❤
Well, we're in Canada but India is cool too :D
that man can't drive.
That man can drive, and that man won the race. With worn out tires and a damp track, while driving manual. That man is amazing
