Suzuki Kizashi First Drive

I had my first chance to drive the all new 2010 Suzuki Kizashi on Saturday.   My first impression was, finally a Suzuki that kicks butt!  I was awed by the bold and sporty styling inside and out but most of all I love the price.  When I first saw the car I was thinking $26k, $27k until I saw the window sticker...$22,359!

The Kizashi defiantly wow's with the price, not to mention this one has the upgraded transmission and a bunch of other goodies including premium wheels, power driver's seat with 10-way adjustment and three-position memory, and a leather wrapped parking brake handle and steering wheel with cruise control.

The base model Kizashi starts at $18,999, which includes a manual transmission. Standard features include a six-speed manual, eight airbags, push-button start, dual-zone climate control, a nine-speaker audio system, EPS stability control, ABS, projector beam headlights, power windows, doors and mirrors, and ambient foot well lighting.

Overall I am extremely impressed with the engineering, gas mileage, looks and price.  The all new Kizashi defiantly delivers value and versatility.   I would highly suggest test driving one and adding it to your list of new car choices.  What's it going to hurt, it's just a test drive...give the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi a crack.
