Saw one giving it some stick down the gravel tracks east of Armadale a month or so back. Was surprised to see the car in there but looked like he was having some fun.

They look alright outside.

Not a fan of the Kizashi, it looks ok, although has that cheaper sporty look and feel to it both inside and outside. Performance is underwhelming for a "sports car". For the price I agree with one of the commenters, Skoda Octavia RS would be a much better purchase in this segment as I feel the Kizashi and even the Subaru are overpriced for the build quality you get. I'm a big proponent of Skoda's as they often respresent great value for money. They get plenty of nice stuff from the VW parts bin yet are generally speaking priced lower so works out quite well. I prefer the looks of the most the VW line-up but I suppose that depends how much you're willing to pay for looks or whether you're happy with the way the Skoda's look.

Ive always been curious about one.
All the figures look to be ok about it. Seems looks like a decent car.

CVT is the only option on a $40K supposed sports car??? ......FAIL!
0 - 100 in 8.8 Seconds in a $40K AWD sports car? .........FAIL!

No thanks, would buy a similar sized, similar priced, proper manual Subaru WRX over this any day...

ps: sorry don't know anyone that owns one Daz. Looking at which model Kizashi? New, Used, FWD or AWD?

I own a Kizashi XLS FWD, quite decent and loaded full of kit. Definitely not fast but handles brilliantly
