Details

The lineup of features on the inside is impressive for a car of this price. The interior has some great qualities, including electric mirrors and windows, cruise control, 16" alloy wheels, power steering, and keyless entry. In addition to the keyless entry, it also has keyless start, which a friend of mine used to have and it was great. It also has your typical temperature controls, which are climate controlled, and an in-dash CD player with speed sensing volume control. Whether it's just you and the road or a car full of passengers, the SX4 provides interior comfort. There is plenty of room for not only the driver, but the front and backseat passengers as well. One thing that is particularly nice is the fact that the ceilings are a little taller than most, which my dad was particularly happy about. As a 6'5" man, sometimes the ceilings aren't far from the top of his head, and this vehicle is an exception!

The SX4 offers the option of either having a manual or automatic transmission. The manual option is available in 5-speed, while the automatic is only 4-speed. One thing that is super cool is the ability to change between 2WD, 4WD Lock, and 4WD Auto by simply pushing a button! The Suzuki SX4 has a 107kW 4-cylinder engine. In addition to these features, the SX4 comes equipped with six airbags: side curtain airbags, driver and passenger front airbags, and driver and passenger side airbags. It also has Antilock Brake System brakes. Because of these impressive safety features, the SX4 meets the qualifications for the EuroNCAP safety rating.

Suzuki has been having a good run lately, and in an effort being made by Suzuki Australia to double sales by 2010, they have introduced the Suzuki SX4. It surely has done justice for the goal, selling more than 20,000 vehicles in the first year! For those people who are on-the-go, sporty-type people, the SX4 is perfect. Not only is it extremely fuel efficient (average of 8.8L/100km), but if you often go camping or do other types of outdoor activities, you will be pleased with the way the SX4 handles. Since it has the Intelligent All Wheel Drive system (i-AWD), it offers a controlled drive and stable ride. While it is great on a straight stretch, it also hugs corners safely, giving you the "sporty drive" that they claim for this vehicle. If you are going on a trip that requires packing gear, the back seats will lay down, providing you with a flat space to transport whatever you need.

Since this vehicle offers a decent price with outstanding safety features and potential for being a long-term possession, the SX4 would be wonderful for those on a budget. In particular, it would be a perfect car for a family, especially because of the safety. At the same time, it is ideal for people who often use their vehicle for traveling to outdoor locations (camping, hiking, fishing, etc.) If any of these criteria describe you, the Suzuki SX4 is worth checking into.
