2010 Suzuki Kizashi Buying Advice

The 2010 Kizashi is Suzuki's new midsize sedan. It's smaller than class leaders like Chevy Malibu, Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry.

Unstable gas prices now have many buyers switching to 4-cylinder cars, so the Kizashi could prove to be popular, especially if Suzuki prices it aggressively. This is the largest, most ambitious car Suzuki has done since building its first four-wheeler back in 1955, and the company obviously expects great things from it. So do we, and so should you, especially given the stiff class competition.
