Used 2009 Suzuki SX4 Hatchback Consumer Reviews
48000 miles now
I've only had to do regular maintenance items no unexpected surprises. The tires have been replaced and regular oil changes at 7000 miles. AT service at around 36000. 25.2 MPG over the 48000 miles.
Great Car
This car is great. It has a personality, looks good and runs well. Originally designed by Fiat.

BAD FUEL ECONOMY
I just brought a 2009 SX4 Crossover Tech Package in Nov. 16, 2009. The tag says 21/28 on the feul economy. But I have been using it for the pass week and the mile marker goes down to 16 mpg local and only 20 mpg on the highway. I expected to be at lease 21/28. Other then that the car is great. If anyone is looking for a fuel efficient car I would not recommend this. Also the cloth seat cover seems too thin.
It's ok, but not after 80,000 miles
This car has been wonderful - until this year (2017). My husband and I both have one of these cars. (Mine is orange, his is white) (Mine was bought brand new back in 2009, his was bought used just a year ago.) Repairs were normal wear and tear (new tires, oil changes, etc...) (Btw, we also have manual transmissions). Well, this year came and these cars have been garbage. One day my orange, bought brand new, car suddenly wouldn't crank. Nothing. So I have to towed in. Turns out the entire freaking computer was somehow damaged. They said it could have been lightening - but we're in a severe drought, it hasn't rained in over a month. It cost me nearly 3 grand to fix. Then my husband's check engine light came on. So we took it in - the catalytic converter is going bad... and guess how much it is to fix it... 3 grand. If something else goes wrong we're trading these in for something else. I'm so disappointed. Suzuki made older cars, like the X-90 and tracker which are nearly indestructible. Update: Late 2018 Just a year later and the computer in this car, which was completely replaced, died again. No idea why this keeps happening. The mechanic was not helpful in any way in explaining possible causes. Don't buy this car, or any Suzuki until they start selling in the U.S. again. The parts cost, and their wait time to get the parts are ridiculous.

Great value
A lot of stuff for a little money: AWD, navigation, Bluetooth, steering wheel-mounted controls. Perfect winter/second car.
