Actually I like design and color texture. It has eye catchy colors.
Heater core failure.In my case it is the main problem. Performance is overall good. Reliability is somehow good. Comfortableness is good in this price range. It cloud be better. Features are also good in this range, but it could have some additional features.

It can get me anywhere, rain, snow, or long distances.
My car is awesome. It has very good steering and maneuvering to get in and out of tight spaces. I can easily park it because of its small turn radius. The positioning of the windows make it super easy to see the road and potential blind spots. I get great gas mileage and can reliably go places. Its four wheel drive capabilities help a lot when there is snow, rain, ice, or dirt on the roads. When the seats are folded down, it gives you a surprising amount of space to place things in the car. On the flip side, the car does not have a lot of clearance, so even if it is four wheel drive you still have to be careful where you are driving. Also, this car is not for passengers for a tall driver; when the front seats are pushed back all the way there is only a few inches of space for the back seat passenger legs.

A fun car for the empty nester.
I like the size of the car after driving vans for years. The back hatch is convenient and big enough for groceries. The back seat folds down to haul bigger items. I like the miles left feature when you get low on gas and the reminder beep when you need to refill. The GPS system that came with the car didn't work for very long and was quickly outdated. The Bluetooth works on and off with my phone, but people who call me cannot clearly hear me.

Kinda small but she's so reliable.
Both of the two previous owners took good care of the car. The only issues I have had were an o2 sensor & wheel bearings... Normal brakes / rotors as expected. It is a pretty compact car, but tall windshield helps balance out the fact that the back seat could have a little more room. Overall, great car.

It is a good car, very dependable and economical.
Lights on clock do not work. Airbag light is on. Hard to see out of the back with the high headrests. Hard to see out the front windows because of a pillar separating the two pieces of glass. Great on gas. Oil is hard to change because of the location under the hood.

Great little car for the money.
It runs great it is a wonderful little car. But there is not a lot of room when you want to take passengers with you. It gets great gas mileage and being a four-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive it does very well in the snow. I would definitely recommend this car.

Awesome, cheap AWD crossover.
The car has been great. The AWD is nice because it snows where I live. Nothing has been major for any problems. Wish it has heated seats. Headlights are pretty easy to change. Oil is cheap to have done at Walmart. It is definitely a girly style car and being a male I feel a bit awkward in it sometimes.

A reliable and sturdy vehicle.
I have driven my Suzuki sx4 for about 8 years now, and it has proven to be a reliable little car. It runs well, and maintenance has been simple as I have not had many mechanical issues. There were several recalls on the vehicle, but they were easy to get taken care of at no cost. The color of the vehicle is highly pleasing and has kept its color well over the years. The interior is comfortable and sleek in design. It drives smoothly on the road and travels well long distance. It gets decent gas mileage, which I am thankful for as I travel a lot.

Suzuki car amazing gas mileage.
It is great in terms of gas. I only pay about 25 dollars to fill it up from empty but does not accelerate fast. Though if you are driving at a constant speed the speedometer never goes over 2. Which is great. But, I would not recommend this car for people who like to drive really fast because then you'll be filling up your car every week but if you are a pretty constant driver you'll end up filling up gas every two weeks.

Wouldn't buy again air compressor issues.
It is slow going uphill. Air conditioner problems. Cheap on gas. Drives rough would not buy again. I go 65 miles an hour vibration issues. Seems like a lot of people have issues with this vehicle. Plus size the seats fold down to make extra room for traveling.. Which is great for traveling. It is a cute little car.
