Overall, Good Little Car — Pros: Low price, roomy up front, great reliability, handling, lockable 4wd, plenty of cargo space, good safety rating. Cons: Low rpm power is lacking, initial take off is good, but slow from 10-35 mph. Poor quality paint. Bird poo etches thru very easily. Overall we are very happy with our SX4. It is roomy up front for tall guys w/long legs. The car sounds very solid without rattles while on dirt roads. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: Low price, roomy up front, great reliability, handling, lockable 4wd, plenty of cargo space, good safety rating. Cons: Low rpm power is lacking, initial take off is good, but slow from 10-35 mph. Poor quality paint. Bird poo etches thru very easily. |

A Very Good All-around Vehicle. — Performance: The key issue here for the SX4 is not its lack of present power, but rather how that power is delivered to the wheels. Suzuki fitted an antique, slow- shifting 4-speed automatic gearbox that really restricts this car's acceleration and cruising capabilities. Acceleration to city speeds of 45 miles per hour and under is more than adequate, but the transmission makes hard acceleration to anything faster than that quite sluggish. Sad, really, since it didn't have to be this way. The transmission leaves the engine at an intrusive groan at highway speeds, which becomes very bothersome over time. This issue becomes less prominent, though, when the rest of the car is considered. This is an inexpensive, (relatively) fuel- efficient hatchback with all-wheel drive and Japanese reliability. If you live in a dry, sunny climate, look elsewhere, but northerners should definitely give this little Suzuki a serious look. It's a very good car with only that one major fault. Build Quality: Overall material and build quality throughout is very good for this price range, with no significant issues to speak of. Appearance: Some find the SX4's styling offensive, but I'd wager that they're not used to seeing conservatively-styled cars anymore. There's nothing wrong with its appearance, it simply does not stand out. Interior design is a similar story, with a clear bias toward function rather than form. For a utilitarian compact car like this, I feel that this is a good thing, as those who buy cars to match their clothing wouldn't usually be looking at a Suzuki. Cost of Ownership: Many of this vehicle's mechanical components are very generic, and are easy and inexpensive to fix and replace as a result. While the SX4's fuel economy may seem shockingly low when compared to other vehicles, keep in mind the added weight and fuel consumption of an all-wheel drive system. A transmission from this millennium would help, though, as can be seen in the 2012 Subaru Impreza, which also features all-wheel drive, and is the SX4's only true competitor. Fun Factor: Being a compact hatchback, the little Suzuki is light and nimble. It's a little disconcerting to drive on the highway, due to aforementioned transmission, as well as a jittery ride, but around town it's very fun to toss around. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: All-wheel drive, handling, interior space Cons: Ancient transmission must go, iffy suspension, merely average fuel economy |

Great For A First Car — good starter car. well built and reliable car. not much speed or acceleration, also not car to upgrade performance. the look is nice but not too flashy. interior space is surprisingly big. when it snows you do not need to worry due to the AWD and 4WD lock that is part of my model.
Pros:
great for a first car Cons: no power |
