I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Those of us living in the Northeast (and probably just about everywhere else in the United States) have been dealing with a MAJOR heat wave this past week. Thankfully it's passing and things will cool down a bit come the weekend.

The Suzuki Kizashi has held up well given the temperatures. The A/C system is able to churn out ice cold air in about 20 seconds after turning the car on, but the all-black cabin takes some time to cool down. On my 30 minute drive from work to home, the fan speed only went down one notch from High with it was set to automatic @ 70 degrees.

The interior didn't have any surprise rattles or squeaks, and as I approach 3,000 miles, it feels better than new! I love the "hummm" sound of the engine that many other car reviewers said was buzzy. The 2.5L engine in the Toyota Camry is buzzy, but not the Kizashi.
