A good little car my Suzuki.
Has been a very reliable car. I get new tires every couple years. Have had 2 recalls that were a pain, but have been taken care of. Is starting to rust around the gas cap a little. It shudders a little when idling. I would buy another one if they still made them.

Suzuki sx4 is peppy and very economical. Bit small for those on the tall side.
Vehicle is great on rough roads, peppy when daily driving, does not feel underpowered at all. Road noise is a bit loud but has a good radio to compensate. Quick pick up and shifting is smooth, great gas mileage 29 mpg on backroads. Interior is tight for tall individuals.

Suzuki sx4 sportback review.
My Suzuki is a comfy little sportback. It can pick up speed rather quickly and has up to date technology. To fill it up only costs twenty to twenty five dollars and it has wonderful gas mileage. It has a two cylinder engine and automatic transmission. It also has all wheel drive which is perfect for winter time. Granted it is a small car but you will not have any issues sliding around in the winter time or getting stuck in your driveway.

It is awesome in the snow even without snow tires.
My car is great in snow the all wheel drive is really helpful since I live in an area that gets quite a bit of snow. There is a little bit of a lag when stepping on the gas but I have not had problems with that lately. One other issue is the tire light come on lately. But it seems all you have to do is add air.

All wheel drive never have to replace timing belt.
Very low maintenance very good on gas easy to drive pretty good in the snow. 2nd one I owned would buy a new one if available in the us. Just an enjoyable car to own back leg room is good low the fold down back seats also like the all wheel drive feature.

Issues with my car and recall I have had to have.
Have had an issue with the primary steering have had to go into the dealership to get it replaced due to recall. Comfort is okay at first have had the car for 7 years and now it has started to shake when reaching a speed of 70 mph. Will have to go in to have it fixed.

Sx4 crossover, manual transmission.
Very reliable, okay gas economy. Driven cross country and it is been okay. Recommend standard translation over automatic, no issues with transmission whatsoever. Economy car but has great value, comfortable, drives well, plastic trim on the inside is fragile.

This car is perfect for someone who is attending college.
This car may look small, but it is actually quite spacious. The trunk is not big, but it has enough room if you do not get a lot of groceries. The only difficult part of owning, or maintaining this vehicle, is the oil filter is a bit hard to reach which makes it hard to change the oil yourself.

Suzuki, sx4 2020 hatchback.
I have a Suzuki, sx4 and it is a good car, it has great performance, however, the car materials are not the best quality and the gas mileage is not too great! But, the heated seats are extremely comfortable and it comes with a built in GPS which is great for adventuring!
