2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sedan
2011 Suzuki Kizashi Sedan Review
The term "cult" refers to the film, that even if a real good, just saw the commercial success at the box office. For the automotive industry, 2011 Suzuki Kizashi is very similar to a cult classic. Among mid-size sedan, is one of the best you can buy today. But as the Kizashi debuted at last year's sales are not only achieved blockbuster status. And chances are, none of your friends have heard the story.

And chances are, none of your friends have heard the story.
And it's really a shame, because few have the opportunity to see for themselves how the batteries Kizashi compete. From the outside has a European taste different, much like the previous generation Volkswagen Jetta. Inside, the premium theme continues Kizashi (Volkswagen something really left with the Jetta this year), drivers impressive with excellent materials, nice interior design and solid construction.
2011 Suzuki Kizashi Road offering a comfortable ride and enthusiasm enough to get the blood pumping. 2.4-liter engine is adequate for most drivers, but, unfortunately, the voices of the turbo or V6 model has yet been achieved. On the positive side, the suspension is quite firm confidence in the curves (especially this year, the new sports model), without being too strong.
Despite limited Suzuki dealer network, the Kizashi is definitely worth the extra effort to see if you are considering a midsize sedan, even among opponents worthy of the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima. While the rear seat is a bit short in the legs compared to bigger models. But along with more vivid sedans like the Ford Fusion, Nissan Altima and the Volkswagen Jetta, the Kizashi has much to offer. The Suzuki is one of the few in this class to offer all-wheel drive.
Just as laudable in an independent film, we see 2011 being a must for Suzuki Kizashi Car of the Year. Now if we could just drop it off.

Interior Design and Special Features
For 2011 Suzuki Kizashi interior is known for its use of premium materials and attractive design. Not only is it unusually sophisticated for a Suzuki, but for mid-size sedans in general. Passenger comfort is enhanced by ample clearance and curved seats, even those riding in the backseat can find little leg room compared to most other midsize sedans.
Our complaints are rare, with some noting that the police oversized radio on the screen can only show a few characters at a time. Also the boot is on the small side, with room for only 13.3 cubic feet of cargo.
Guide
Pilots in search of excitement a little 'more out of the family sedan, the 2011 Suzuki Kizashi will prove satisfactory. With plenty of grip and emphasize the need for guidance, Kizashi can easily take a winding road. The suspension calibration is a bit 'firm but not so significant, that sour the overall experience. We look forward to Sport models with 10mm lower ride height, is still a bit 'more rigid. On the road, Kizashi is a quiet and give the drivers a long-range fuel fill-ups.
The output of the four-cylinder engine is sufficient. Transmission shifter six-speed manual may seem a bit vague for the drivers first, but becomes more intuitive to use. Unlike other CVT, the Kizashi has done an admirable job to keep power on tap without much hesitation or the hum of the engine characteristic. Pallets are an added plus for the more sporty drivers who demand more control.
