Review

I have seen this car on road and at traffic stops. Looked at other cars- compared price, reports/reviews, recalls. Shopped 4 dealers with my trade-in,got the best deal at my local dealer by $600 and within $300 of what I wantd. The dealer-salespeople were fantastic. was going to pay for it but 0% financing-ok/ The car is really great-fun to drive-more than enough headroom-free Garmin-car loaded w equipment.Dont wait! good pickup and passing-26.8 mpg n town so far. Going on trip this weekend!! Car is quiet, no road noise,will pull out in front of traffic from red lite-corners good- give it some gas going around corner- like on a motorcycle,no body lean,stops quicker than on a dime!!!

Favorite Features

power window,door lock,keyless entry,GPS,tilt,cruise,daytime running lites,cd player,fantastic radio,rear wiper,will almost turn around in its tracks! good mpg n town, quiet-no road noise-feels same at 70mph as at 35 mph.no problms so far!!! car does NOT hydroplane in water, very stable in crosswind

Suggested Improvements

Bridgestone tires take a SIT aftr parking and cool off and bump in the morning untill warmed up but this is the tires not the car/ like radial goodrch T/A's better.

Best Car I ever owned!!!!!

Review

I've traded my Honda civic for this car and it was worth it!!! Immaculate reliability and I average 28 mpg city. I got this car for a little less than 12 thousand and I have been very satisfied!! My mom convinced me to get it because she had an Aerio with 267,000 miles with no problems! Great warranty! I call her Suzy and the girls like her too, they tell me she's cute. But overall, great car for the money, get yourself a Suzy and stop paying $20,000 + for Hondas and Toyotas, power windows are not even standard in the base price! This car is worth every penny and it's Japanese quality. Could you imagine if it had more horsepower?

Favorite Features

power windows STANDARD, airbags, navigation, style, rims

Suggested Improvements

Put more horsies under the hood! Keep up with the good work Suzuki, BRING BACK THE SWIFT AND JIMNY!!!!!

I bought my car in July because of the awd. I love driving it. great gas mileage. The GPS box got broken? and they will be replacing it for free. also love the fact that i got a free gas card for purchasing it. I got a great price, traded in 2 cars for it.

Favorite Features

gas mileage and look of car.

Suggested Improvements

larger gas tank

Review

Let me start w/how much I love this car. From the 34 mpg I just averaged on a trip to CA last week, to the great navigation system, the heated seats, the panoramic view, the spacious trunk space, the back seats that comfortably seat a 170 lb. Great Dane, and the AWD/2WD/Auto system that leaves me looking forward to snow - there are only 4 things I would suggest improving on: Adding a sunroof, adding a 6th gear (manual), a little more power, and more comfortable seats/headrests. I did a lot of research & I knew what to expect. It's a lot of extra's for the money, but if you are looking for luxury, this is not the car for you. I love my car! Great job Suzuki!

Favorite Features

Mentioned the long list in my review =)

Suggested Improvements

Add a sunroof, a sixth gear (manual), and a little more power.

This is a nice small - medium size car. Has a very strong engine (for its category), a lot of space and it is priced better than the competition.

Favorite Features

Strong engine, fun to drive, reasonable space, appropriately priced, nice warranty.

Suggested Improvements

Better radio or no radio at all.

Biggest Mistake Yet

2009 Suzuki SX4 4dr Wagon w/Technology Pkg, Navigation (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

Review

In the short while that I've owned this car, the airbag sensor has gone off---requiring the front passenger seat to be replaced. It now squeaks continuously if someone sits in it. The Keyless entry/start system seems to be questionable---I have now had to replace the key fobs twice because they do not recognize the car. There are 3 small cheap plastic coverings under the back seat---one of these fell off the other day. Apparently, the car I purchased is less than perfect. It only has 2,000 miles on it. I'm so wishing I could get rid of it, but I'm stuck with it for the time being. One certainly gets what one pays for.

Favorite Features

Nothing.

Suggested Improvements

A more quiet engine or better soundproofing--- tired of engine growling. Larger gas tank please. If the mpg is going to be this lackluster, at least give the engine more power so that it doesn't drone while going up a simple hill or a ramp on the freeway.

Recent buy....Loving it so far

Review

Loving the Suzuki Crossover so far. Got the loaded Touring trim. Lots and lots of extras for the money. CAN NOT beat the features for the money. Nav, heated seats and mirrors, keyless entry and start. Great safety features...insureance only went up $12/yr. Drives and handles great. Biggest for us, was the AWD. Can't wait to drive it around during a Maine winter. We've owned Toyota, Mitsu, VW, Dodge, Pontiac. We believe we got the best value for the money, by far, this time around. We also love that everyone else isn't driving one. We'll see how it holds up. If it does well for a while, we plan to return for a Suzuki purchase for our other vehicle...the Equator truck to replace a Durango.

Favorite Features

3 Mode AWD, heated seats, fog lights, navigation, AWD, skid plates on front and rear, cross bars, ski rack, also the AWD if I didn't mention it. Didn't think the keyless entry and start was a big deal...but we use it way more than we thought. I haven't used the key yet.

Suggested Improvements

For the keyless entry, smaller key holder. The thing is huge. That's about it. We really, really like this car. What you get for what you pay....you can't beat it.

Unhappy follow up to "Bye Bye Benz"

Review

I've had the 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover for less than a month now. It is scheduled to go into the shop early next week because the airbag light has come on and will not go off. Browsing the internet blogs I have discovered that this is quite problematic for Suzuki and the SX4. Other owners have complained that Suzuki is not honoring its warranty and are not being cooperative. A courtesy car will most likely not be offered since the car is technically operable (just not sure how safe it is to drive? will the airbags deploy when I driving down the street? do the airbags work?) The fuel economy continues to be very poor. The driver's seat is causing back pain, and I'm a healthy 38yo man.

Favorite Features

none: I retract all positive statements made about this car.

Suggested Improvements

build a reliable car; seating and lumbar support built for American anatomy (Im 5'8" lean, muscular, and weigh 165lbs)
