Loved This Car

I had a 2012, and unfortunately it rusted out on the bottom. Otherwise, I miss this car so much. It was the best little car. The perfect size. I had the basics. No Sun Roof. Don't need one. I loved the way it handled and it was spacious while staying compact. I am fine with its design and simplicity. It would be amazing if this exact car with AWD (so important) was made available to we consumers in the US as a base model. Also, I might want to rust proof my car and please Suzuki, take care of that issue. I believe rusting out was exclusive to the 2012 model.

Surprisingly roomy, extremely versatile Tech.

4 wheel drive up to 30 mph, awd or 2wd at the flip of a button. Amazing ground clearance. Seats very comfortable. Sound system outrageous. Crossover Tech version is great pleasure to drive and enjoy on ;ong or short trips. 6 spd standard, leather steering wheel cover, heated seats and more. Now have 75K miles. Alloy wheels. And more. Find one and buy it. Suzuki SX4 Crossover Tech. After 2013 no longer sold in continental US. A real shame. Following year they changed the body shape. Too Bad.

Very reliable I never questioned it to get me back

I'm 6-2 and it has additional room to move the seat back! the rear seating is a bit crowded for adults. But would work fine with children. For a small car it offers side air bag protection as well as the front coverage.

Super cute and fun to drive

This car is so cute yet doesn’t compromise on space and comfort. There is ample leg space in front and back. The hatchback makes it easy to tote things and with the back seats folded down flat you can really haul quite a bit of stuff. I used this to move in and out of my dorm several times. It doesn’t have a powerful get up and go but it’s zippy. I love driving it!

I've owned about 40 cars, this is one of my favs!

Some professional reviews say this car is sluggish, I can't say the same. My son even commented that he was scared he'd get a ticket in this car. It accelerates good and no problems passing. It is VERY comfortable. The seats do not fatigue your back and they sit high which makes entry and exit easy. The interior is very user friendly, everything in reach. The only draw back is it lacking a telescopic steering wheel. That I do agree with the pro reviewers. However, it has never contributed to arm fatigue or steering issues, even on long trips. One of the most notable things for such a small car, is the quiet cabin. You can have a conversation with passengers without screaming. It's an inexpensive compact car and it comes with good standard options. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of my previous Lincoln, but I've found it to be quite comfortable...and fun! I'm saddened that Suzuki is no longer in the US because this is my second Suzuki. I was looking forward to another.

To fare away

To far away. I got financing but it would not cover the car and the car had already sold. Financing only wanted GM and Ford and the such. The reason I wanted a Suzuki is because I had one that I bought new and got over 2 hundred thousand miles on it plus still driving it.

Snow beast

I bought this car because my area gets a lot of snow in winter. My other car is a honda fit and I can't get up my drive without trying a few times so I wanted the smallest awd for the lowest price available. On the road into town one plow at least a year crashes. This is amazing in the snow actually too good you can easily get over confident. I don't like the cvt but got it for a great price would have preferred a standard. The biggest peeve is the radio is on the GPS system and every time you shut the car off you have to hit an I agree button to see the clock and radio. When it takes awhile to respond you hit the screen again and your station changes or while adjusting the volume in the unit if you drag a digit on the screen the radio changes.

Own 2-SX4 Crossovers

The SX4 has great performance and handling ,quick acceleration ,brake system is quick to respond. In the snow they're fantastic, while Suv's are crawling I'm flying by them with excellent traction. Fuel economy is good considering it's an AWD, Averaging 25 MPG City. Would definitely recommend this vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
