Had this car for three months and I cant wait for the winter months to see how it handles in the snow!..A great, fun to drive little vehicle. It is very sturdy and you sit up high in it...lots of space and plenty of room for passengers. VERY handsome vehicle

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.

I bought this car new and had nothing but problems, The brake pads had to be replaced every three months, Tires only lasted about 9 000 miles and it has been nothing but a money pit. When I called Suzuki they just blew me off. I would not recommend this car to anyone. What a joke.

A Lackluster Car

I used to own a 1998 Suzuki Swift, and this car was bullet-proof. It gave me 300K miles of pure reliability. Not so with my SX4... This car is sub-standard in quality and in performance. And to top it off, Suzuki has vacated the U.S., so good luck getting service. My closest service provider is over 2 hours away...

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.
