2008 Suzuki Sx4 Touring / Road Trip Edition with AWD and automatic transmission.  We got it from a dealer when it had 26k on it and it’s the version with just about all the available bells & whistles.  This is an awesome car with no mechanical problems whatsoever and lots of miles left to go -  I would prefer to keep it forever but I have twin babies on the way in the Spring and I have given up on the dream of fitting them and my 7-year-old and my wife and me and all our stuff into this car.  



The Good:


- Well-maintained car with regular synthetic oil changes since we bought it.  I can provide maintenance records.  

- Highly reliable - we just it bring it in for regular maintenance … tires, alignments, brakes, etc.

- Switch lets you toggle between AWD when you need it and FWD when you’d rather save gas.

- Excellent on gas.  Fueleconomy.gov says 21mpg city/ 28 hwy/ 24 combined for the AWD but that sounds lower than the reality, probably because this car has the switch… it tacks on a few more for the FWD version.

- Super-safe car: Stability control (that works great by the way - you can really feel it and the indicator light comes on when it kicks in), dual front airbags, ABS brakes.

- Great in snow (even better in the snow than my old Subaru Forester was).  High clearance for a small car.  “Lock” button keeps all 4 wheels in sync temporarily for when you need to dig out of snow - that works awesome.  This thing barrels right through the plow-in of my driveway.

- Surprisingly roomy inside both for your people and your stuff for a car this size.  Rear seat folds down (both halves separately) for when you need to haul extra stuff.

- 2 remote starters - great for winter mornings.

- A/C blows super-cold.

- Power-everything: windows, locks, mirrors (and mirrors heat up with rear defrost)

- Cruise control

- Click into 3rd gear and back on-the-fly... good for hills.

- Rear wiper

- Really nice sound system: 6-cd player, AM/FM stereo, XM/Sirius satellite radio ready

- Audio controls on steering wheel

- Tinted rear windows and rear windshield

- Clean, never-smoked-in

- Just passed NYS inspection in November

- Clear title in hand

- I will provide auto-check report (similar to carfax) if you need one


The Bad:


- The accident that you’ll see reported on carfax/autocheck: a slowly-moving car that was trying to park bumped into the open front driver’s side door, just enough to cause it to need to be replaced.  The new door (about a year old) works perfectly and there is no residual effect from that.

- Somebody sideswiped the car on the driver’s side a few years ago when it was parked.  I didn’t bother to report or repair the damage.  There’s a small dent with some rust and scraping (see photo) on the rear left fender leftover from that.  No frame or wheel damage - just cosmetic.

- I bumped a wall during a terrible parking maneuver and the little black plastic lining (not sure what it’s called) on the front right popped off (see photo).  I still have it.  It comes free with your purchase of the car!  The part of that lining that is still on the car has a couple of cracks around the front.

- In a separate but equally terrible parking maneuver, that lining got slightly loosened on the rear right of the car.  No structural damage.

- In a less-than heroic attempt to replace my own rear-right tail light, I managed to crack the red plastic cover.  I glued/taped it backed together with a repair kit (see photo).  It passes inspection and for about 2 years now it has held fine and all lights are working.

- The rear tires are running low on tread (the fronts have a long way left to go).  

- The tire-pressure sensor is broken so the light for that is often on even when the tires are full.   This does not cause inspection to fail.  

- Center console mini-storage between the two front seats has always been a little loose and getting looser.

-  My only pet-peeve: the gas tank is too small - it only only takes 10 gallons so you need to keep filling up.  The cool thing is it tells you how many miles you have left to drive on your tank.

Suzuki releases another Baleno image for Frankfurt

Wed, Sep 2 2015

The Suzuki Baleno is a tiny five-door that arrives in the UK next summer, but Suzuki is giving its newest model a big reveal at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show on Sept. 15. Until then, the soon-to-be-independent Japanese brand is continuing to tease the little guy, promising to "raise the bar for compact hatchbacks." The exterior of the Baleno adapts the iK-2 concept, and the two of them look practically identical. Under the skin, the hatchback gets Suzuki's new platform that's lighter and more rigid. Power comes from a 1.0-liter direct-injected and turbocharged engine that Suzuki calls the Boosterjet. For added propulsion, a mild hybrid layout also allows the starter to provide extra assistance. Until we can actually check the Baleno out in Frankfurt, the gallery above shows all of the teaser images for the compact, so far. SUZUKI BALENO HATCHBACK TO DEBUT AT 66TH IAA FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW 31/08/15 Suzuki's ideal compact hatchback The all-new Baleno which will make its world premiere at the 66th IAA Frankfurt Motor Show* will raise the bar for compact hatchbacks. Since manufacturing its first car in 1955, the Suzulight, Suzuki has produced a variety of compact cars that deliver value much greater than their sizes. Developed using the company's compact car expertise, the Baleno has an elegant and powerful design, a spacious cabin and luggage space plus a host of new technologies. The new technologies include a rigid, lightweight new generation platform, highly responsive 1.0-litre direct-injection turbo BOOSTERJET engine, and SHVS (Smart Hybrid Vehicle by Suzuki) featuring engine assist by an integrated starter generator. All of these contribute to a fun yet efficient driving experience, giving the Baleno much more than just good looks and convenience. In addition to fulfilling fuel efficiency and dynamic performance expectations, the layout has been optimised and various technologies used to reduce weight in order to meet the rigorous size and weight requirements specific to compact cars. The new Baleno will be launched in the UK early next Summer. Further details of the Baleno will be disclosed at the Suzuki press conference at the Frankfurt Motor show. The conference will be held at 1.15pm on Tuesday 15th September. We look forward to welcoming you on stand B12 in Hall 9.0. Learn more at http://www.globalsuzuki.com/iaa2015/, a special Baleno website. *At Messe Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main; press days 15-16 September, public days 17-27 September. ENDS.

Suzuki and VW finalize their divorce

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The rocky divorce between Suzuki and Volkswagen is finally over after working its way through the International Court of Arbitration since 2011, according to the Japan Times. In the final settlement to end the companies' disputes, Suzuki agreed to pay VW an undisclosed amount for not living up to the agreement to use the German automaker's diesel engines. While they won't disclose the exact sum, Suzuki said in a statement that the money "will not have any significant impact" on its 2015 fiscal year results, which will end in March. The arbitration court took the biggest step to end this transcontinental partnership in August 2015 when the body ruled VW needed sell its 19.9-percent stake in Suzuki. However, the Japanese company wasn't entirely off the hook because VW was still allowed to sue for damages over the diesel engine issue. This latest decision finally clears up that dispute. Like most marriages, the union between VW and Suzuki began with stars in both parties' eyes. The Germans paid $2.8 billion to buy 19.9 percent of the Japanese company in December 2009. VW was supposed to get greater access to the auto market in India, and Suzuki hoped to capitalize on access to its partner's advanced technology. By 2011, rumors started percolating that things were contentious behind closed doors. VW allegedly tried to assert control over Suzuki's operations, and the Japanese company reportedly wasn't happy with its access to the German tech. Suzuki even bought diesel engines from Fiat, rather than VW. Later that year, company CEO Osamu Suzuki announced he would end the alliance, and they started working through arbitration. Notification Concerning Resolution of Arbitration by Settlement As Suzuki has reached a settlement regarding the arbitration that Suzuki filed with the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce on 24 November 2011, Suzuki informs you of the following: 1. History from the Request for Arbitration to the Settlement As announced in the "Notification Concerning Arbitration Award" dated 30 August 2015, the Tribunal indicated that it would address the issue of alleged damages arising from Suzuki's breach of the agreement claimed by Volkswagen AG ("VW") in a further stage of the arbitration proceedings. Suzuki reached a settlement with VW in regard to such arbitration proceedings on 10 February 2016. Accordingly, the arbitration proceedings have been concluded. 2.

Suzuki Kizashi recalled due to pesky spiders

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Spiders seem to love the fuel tanks of Japanese sedans. Mazda had to recall its Mazda6 twice for arachnid webs blocking their car's vent lines. Now, the Suzuki Kizashi is also being called in because spiders can block the car's evaporative canister vent hose, a condition which could cause excessive negative pressure in the tank, eventually leading to a crack and fuel leak. The campaign covers about 19,249 examples of the 2010-2013 model year Kizashi built from October 2009 through July 2012.
According to the automaker's defect notice released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the first report of a spiderweb blocking a vent line was in 2011. It began monitoring field data and found six more incidents from 2011 to 2013. In 2014, there was one more case, and with further investigation, Suzuki decided to initiate a recall. There are no reports of accidents or injuries of the webs causing accidents or injuries in the US.
In a similar move to Mazda, Suzuki is replacing the evaporative canister vent line with one that has a filter in place to keep the spiders out. Also, if the lines are obstructed by webs in a specific vehicle, the fuel tank will also get swapped. Scroll down to read the full recall announcement from NHTSA.
