My sx-4 crossover has the 6-speed MT, the first 6 speed I have had - and I really enjoy having that extra gearing for high speed interstates. My normal commute is 55 miles each way and its mostly in 5th gear. The fuel economy is much better than claimed. I usually get 31-32 mpg commuting using E10 fuel but a little better now with the AC off. I got a high of 35.7 on an interstate trip with ethanol-free fuel. I have the base model with nothing that I don't want. The base model lacks cruise control and I am fine with that. I prefer to have features that I'll actually use. I didn't realize until I drove it home just how great the visibility is on this car - great for merging to the right!
9th Suzuki product and going strong!

I have owned other vehicles and dollar for dollar Suzuki rocks the things that are important to me, reliability, safety and great gas mileage. We have a SX4 Crossover and an Xl7 currently and total cost of ownership per year, including insurance and maintenence is less than 1200.00 for both of them. They have the highest safety ratings in their class and I never have to do anything but wiper blades, tires and brake pads, ever. I recommend Suzuki for Colorado driver's who investigate and find the best car for their money

Overall, the Suzuki SX4 Crossover has to be one of the most underrated cars on the market and a terrific value. This car was a few thousand dollars less than a comparably priced Subaru Impreza or Toyota Matrix. The looks inside and out won't blow you away but are more than adequate. This car handles well, is fun to drive, and has a smooth quiet ride.I am currently averaging about 26.5 MPG combined city and highway. One of the biggest complaints that I consistently read about from other owners was the quality of the radio. Initially, I agreed but later found that the radio bass and treble controls were set to zero. Once that was corrected the sound quality was much improved. I love my Suzuki!
Great car! Wish I still had it

This is an AMAZING car! If you live somewhere with lots of snow and ice, the awd lock is your best friend! feels like there isn't even any snow under your car when driving! It looks great, and My big tall 6'5" self fit in it with plenty of room to spare. Has more space for the driver than my Camry, which was my previous car. I can also, unfortunately, attest to the unbelievable safety of this car. I got in a head-on crash at about 50 mph with a large Infiniti. all the doors still opened after the crash, and the only injury i sustained was a small burn on my arm from the airbag opening and rubbing against it. I already miss my little SX4 :( I might even buy another one with my insurance check
Is there a higher selection than 5 for excellent?

I purchased my SX4 AWD for zipping around town safely and to go up to my cabin in Big Bear on the weekends, in fact, when going up to the mountans, I don't have to place chains on the tires when snowing, saving me time and hassle. The All-Wheel-Drive system works perfectly!!! The car drives great, very comfortable seats that sit up high and give me a very secure feeling. And with 8 airbags, I'm very comfortable placing my family in the car. I did a lot of reserch before buying, based on the value, safety ratings, and Consumer Reports recommendation, my choice was very easy. I have nearly 60k miles on it and never had a problem other than routine maintenance.
Great reliability

Bought this car new in 2011 and the only problem which was covered under the drivetrain warranty was the rear axle seals. There were no recalls on this car so far and that is very rare. Right now you can practically steal one because people think you cant get parts, but that is not the case. It is a very slow car to get up to speed so you have to stomp the gas pedal, so if you plan on highway driving not a good choice. I do my own mechanical work and the car is easy to work on except the oil change is a little tricky. Grab a used one if you can

Everything was great till it wasn't. It was a preowned car. I got it on 2014 and everything was working perfectly till 2022 when the transmission started dying. It has been so reliable and economical that I'm going to replace the transmission. That will cost about 3K and to get another car will be 5 to 8 times more. It's a small, fuel efficient car but the transmission not even pass the 120K miles.

I bought a 2011 Suzuki Sx4 new in 2012 I kept noticing a sweet chemical smell whenever the air conditioner or defrost was being used. I contacted my Suzuki dealer and they said they had dealt with this problem with other Suzuki's and thought it was related to the vapor coming back into the vent so they ran the hose to a different area and said it should be fixed. The next time I drove the car and used the air conditioner the antifreeze smell was there again. I contacted Suzuki and they said that they had done all they could and sent me to Arbitration. Suzuki told Arbitration that the car was working as designed and they said there was nothing more that they would do for me .
Suzuki SX4 is a junk car

This is a disposable car, spend a little extra for a better car! Dont make my mistake. with less then 100,000 miles I went through 4 sets of brakes, inner tie-rod, water pump, rear wheel assembly, 2 Catalytic Converter, O2 sensor. Ive never gotten better then 25 mpg.
Likely the best car I ever owned.

Bought it used in 2012, with 12K on the odometer. Gave it to my nephew last year with 122K. AWD, CVT. When given away, it still had the original axles, cv joints, fuel pump, power steering pump, and rack, water pump, throttle body and radiator. During 11 years it never once failed to start or get me there. Routine maintenance only. No engine lights ever, Great in snow, and not bad on ice. It got cramped on the 215 mile run to St Louis, 2 city and 28 highway were disappointments, but then again I ran it in AWD every day the time I owned it. Clearcoat on hood gave up when the car was around 6 years old. Theoretically, the CVT is a weak link, but I serviced it regularly. Suzuki parts are getting a little scarcer. And the AC needed recharging every couple of years. Those are mostly nitpicks. It was overall a car which greatly exceeded expectations.
