2007 Suzuki SX4 consumer reviews

This car is a good looking attempt to grab value conscious, safety aware buyers away from the norm. Pros: This car is loaded with features in the Sport trim model. Acceleration is adequate with a little bit of searching by the 4 speed at intermediate levels. The ability to turn off all wheel drive in dry conditions is a plus. ESC is a great feature on a car of this price range. Braking is notable with 4 wheel disks. Handling is exceptional. The upright driving position is helpful by obliterating all but the extreme blindspots found in cars of this type. The glass area is huge! The interior is large and though the seats are firm, they are comfortable. Cons: Not enough power points. (1) Center dash message center is washed out by strong sunlight coming through the glass area. Seats do not fold flat in back. Though new and surely not broken in yet, gas mileage is a big question mark, even in 2 wheel drive.

There is no way to touch a Suburu all wheel drive for anywhere close to this money. I couldn't bring myself to even think about paying that much more money for not that much car. The dealer said very few people test drove them and didn't purchase one. After you drive one you'll understand why! I love this car!

This car is not perfect but, in todays market, it is a good value for the money. I have owned a base model with auto transmission for a short while. The more I drive it the more I like it. If Suzuki dealers will give good customer support "if needed", after the sale, Suzuki will be selling alot of these cars. The four star reliability rating is questionable because it is a new model and no one has had time to test reliability considering it is new to the market.
