2008 Suzuki SX4 review from North America
"Bestest car ever"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing - absolutely perfect.
General comments?
We had an old Kia Sportage before this that was on death's door. We searched for 6 months, so that when the Kia finally died, we wouldn't have to make a rash decision
We looked at everything in the lowest to second lowest level with all manufacturers, and when we test drove the SX4 we decided not to wait until the Kia died, but to buy it right away.
The car handles astoundingly well, and is very comfortable. We can't get quite as much cargo in it as we could in the Kia, but it's still more than adequate for our needs most of the time.
Fuel consumption is pretty good too.
My wife drives a LOT with her job - up to 300 kilometres a couple of days a week, and we've put 45,000 kms. on the car in less than a year, with no adverse effects at all.
When we've paid for this one, I'll inherit it, and we'll buy another one.
The only odd thing is the little triangle windows on the front posts - at first it was disconcerting having such a blind spot there, but after you've driven the car a few times you're used to it.
