Sounds like a hell of a car, it sure as hell looks good. I can't say I like the looks of the GIANT Superman S in the grille. What happen to the idea of getting the KIA Forte Wagon?

I remember my first car! It had a jewel incrusted dashboard light and an optional brake light. Shock absorbers were optional, it did not have them.
Yours sounds almost as nice.

Nice ride. You should check out the trip Motor Trend did in that car. Tokyo to LA the Hard Way. It's a four-parter on You Tube.

Yep, saw the video myself a while back.

Reprting back, my Wife loves her Kizzy. Only thing she does not like is the doors do not auto lock once put into gear or moving. And nothing was found in the TECH II to change that.

What I do not like about the car is the lack of power coming from the 2.4L, and the gas mileage. Over the life of driving my ION-3 (2.4L auto) back and forth to work it's settled in at 29.112 miles per gallon over the life of the car. Thats only having the car on one road trip. The Kizashi would never put those kinda numbers up on my drive to and from work.

I can not say 100% that I would never buy a Kizzy for myself, never say never.
If I did it would have to be a manual trans
