Under the Radar- the Suzuki Kizashi

Mid Size Sedan Quietly Earning Critical Acclaim

In their review of the 2010 Suzuki Kizashi, Edmunds.com says "Forget everything you know about Suzuki." For most people that isn't tough, as it's a common misconception that Suzuki only makes motorcycles.  

Fact is, Suzuki makes high quality cars too, and it's no surprise Edmunds.com named this Kizashi a "top recommend."  The car also received 5 stars in the consumer reviews section.  

"With the Kizashi you have a car that rewrites the book on Suzuki and possibly the midsize sedan segment as a whole," said Edmunds.  

Edmunds isn't the only outlet raving about the Kizashi.  The car ranked #1 in Customer Satisfaction in AutoPacific's 2010 auto poll.  They spoke to over 42,000 drivers of multiple brands, including Audi and Lexus, and the Suzuki Kizashi won out.  

In terms of specs, the Kizashi is one of the few cars in this segment to offer all-wheel drive.  Edmund's said "Everything about the Kizashi makes it seem a bit more upscale than its competition, yet it costs the same or less."  The Kizashi starts at $18,999.  

All drivers value safety, and the Kizashi excels in this department.  In Edmunds brake testing, the Kizashi GTS with its 18-inch wheels came to a stop in an excellent 114 feet. In government crash tests, the Kizashi scored a perfect 5 stars for front and side protection.

So what else do you need?  Get over to West Herr Chrysler Jeep Suzuki and take one of these machines out.  The Kizashi is also a solid snow car, so don't be shy! 

West Herr Brands Among Least Expensive To Own

Buffalo Car Dealer Brands Dominate New Car and Driver List

Sometimes the lowest priced car is not always the least expensive to own. Car and Driver Magazine knows this, so when they published their "Least Expensive Cars To To Own list" they considered much more than just purchase price. 

Car and Driver factored in fuel costs, insurance rates and fuel economy ratings to determine which cars will save drivers the most money in the long term.  The good news for Western New Yorkers is that cars offered by the West Herr Auto Group were prominent on the list.  Take a look at just a few of the featured cars and what Car and Driver said about them:

Kia Soul

"Kia offers an extensive menu of customization options—including stripe packages, wheels, and body add-ons—and a stream of limited editions sporting exclusive paint and interior trimmings. In the small-car segment, the Soul stands out."

Suzuki X4 Sedan

"The SX4 is one of the most underrated cars on the market. The four-door comes in a three-box shape and it’s quick and affordable"

Kia Forte Sedan

"The new-for-2010 Forte is the strongest in its respective class...the larger engine adds pounds without much extra power, and the manual transmission is a six-speed, giving enthusiast drivers plenty of ratios from which to choose. If we were to pick a car from this list, the Forte would be among the front-runners."

Thats just a small sample of what's available at West Herr.  For more information on getting one of these affordable cars or any others visit us online today.
