Car Profiles - Suzuki Kizashi

SUZUKI KIZASHI

Suzuki's attempt on going upmarket is a decent one, but that does not translate to actual sales. We can't help but say that it attempts to get customers aiming for a Lancer GT-A and a Sonata GLS, slotting between price and size. Still, it is a sports car in a practical package.

The Good: Fun to drive for the price
The Bad: Legroom is limited for some

Price Range: P1,348,000
Our Rating: ****
