Viber Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It was a cold snowy morning. My Kizashi AWD was being a real trooper. Traffic was slow on the freeway...except for the 2006 Mazda 6i zooming behind me way too fast and slammed right into the back of my Kizashi, destroying the tail completely, and I then rammed into a commercial truck wrecking the front the end. Total repair estimate was $11,000. The insurance company totaled it. My baby is dead and gone, and I was really enjoying the Kizashi. It looked slick, had an awesome sound system, the CVT transmission was butter smooth, and the AWD system was amazing. If you get the chance to buy one, do it. As for mine...this is what was left at the auto repair joint. The kicker, I owned it exactly 30 days, and hadn't even made my first payment...

I always heard good things about the GTS version, but I've never sat in one, and don't know if I've ever even spotted one on the road. Any idea what you might replace it with?

Once I got my insurance total, they would only pay for a rental for 3 more days, so I didn't have much time to shop around. I ended up with a 2007 BMW 328xi with Nav and some other goodies. And the Kizashi was really nice. I fully intended on keeping it for 4 years+. Here in Utah there seem to be quite a few in circulation. I see 2 or 3 a week. People here love their affordable AWD vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Bummer to hear, but wow. They totaled it for a total repair of 11k. What did you pay for it new?

VermontGT Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 If there's another positive besides the BMW acquisition, consider that Suzuki has withdrawn from the (North?) American market so getting replacement parts will be increasingly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Suzuki was about $18k with tax, title, 3 year bumper to bumper extended warranty and gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
