Suzuki's first attempt at a mid-sized car, the Kizashi, couldn't have been much braver. The Japanese company chucked itself into a market that -- in Australia at least -- is becoming more and more competitive.
The standard Kizashi is an intriguing prospect, partly because hardly anyone buys them and there doesn't seem to be a good reason for that, apart from badge snobbery. The Kizashi Sport is even more intriguing, given Suzuki's sporting heritage in strange pursuits such as the annual and treacherous Pike's Peak hillclimb in the US.
VALUE
The Suzuki Kizashi range starts at $27,990 for the Touring and reaches the $39,990 Sport AWD via the $34,990 Prestige. Suzuki's first ever mid-size car, the Kizashi is a distinctive-looking machine, even with competition from the svelte Mazda6 and technocratic-looking Honda Accord. And it's far better-looking than the Subaru Liberty.
