Hey uh, what do you guys think of the Suzuki SX4 sedan and wagon? It has won good reviews everywhere I check for spunk and value.

The what?

Hey uh, what do you guys think of the Suzuki SX4 sedan and wagon? It has won good reviews everywhere I check for spunk and value.

The sedan is decent. The only one in it class with non performance trim to have 17 inchers standard.

I dunno about the driving dynamics.

I think it's a great value... funky styling, apparently sporting driving dynamics, nice warranty, lots of features (ESP, keyless ignition).

Its fuel economy could probably be better.

Cant be any worse than the Aerio.

I just read today in one of the reviews that Suzuki sells more cars worldwide a year than Mazda, Mitsubishi and BMW. And the SX4 is based on the Swift, a car that has won accolades for driving pleasure in the normally super-nationalistic British motor press.

Someone at my school drives one... it looks sharp but fuel economy is poor. If I were to pick between an SX4 and a 2008 Focus... I'd go with the Focus too. Nicer interior I think.

I know you guys are gonna beat me up for that but what the hey.

I've driven the sedan...it's not bad...handles nice...and the price is good.

Looks good.

I'd consider one...

'Blu, have you been dippin into the corn squeezins again? You know that is for makin E85, not drinking!

I just filled up the truck yesterday. Now that I'm not doing any highway driving to bring my average up (camping, the beach, etc.), my lead foot has resulted in a 14.3 mpg result this tank.

Like I said in my Grand Vitara thread, the SX4 and Grand Vitara OWN their respective segments!

Suzuki makes some ho-hum crap (Reno, Forenza, XL7) but the SX4 and the G.V. are amazing values.

Dunno about the US but in Canada the sedan cannot be had with the AWD

Hey blu, if you want a mileage champ, how about lookin at a used Saturn SL or somethin
