Suzuki SX4, pretty sharp!

[Vegasdriver]

I went to a Motor Trend auto show a few weeks ago and liked the new line up by Suzuki.
Their all new SX4 is something a buyer might want to consider.


SX4

The kick of 143 horsepower. The capability of all wheel drive. The flexibility of a 5-door. All standard and wrapped up in sheet metal that's been pounded in to a real statement.

Every SX4 is equipped with a 3-mode intelligent all-wheel-drive (i-AWD) system that helps give you confidence, control and traction under all weather conditions.

America's #1 Warranty:
100,000 miles/7-year Powertrain limited warranty around that doesn't have a deductible and is full transferable fo the life of the warranty.

Yeah, I've been eyeing one for a few weeks now, have yet to see one on the road yet. Seems like a pretty good deal for the money. Plus supposed future factory mods from the WRC program.

decent forum here: http://www.sx4club.com

Not a bad looking car at all. Price isn't bad either.

[Anon Y Mous]

don't buy it unless they put the GSXR1100 engine in it.

[Rally Ninja]

Maybe they will come out with their own version of an STi or Evo. And priced considerably less then both? Maybe wishfull thinking =/

[Kansei]

don't buy it unless they put the GSXR1100 engine in it.

(rofl)

nice

a pretty snazzy looking car, Suzuki it comin out with some nice lookin cars. Now I just patiently wait for the Swift Sport to come to these shores.

I have yet to see an SX4 on the road.. I should check out a dealership sometime.

[thewrench]

don't buy it unless they put the GSXR1100 engine in it.

Funny guy....


Wouldn't you like to see me squeeze my fat ass into one. :D

[Anon Y Mous]

If I can fit in one you can fit in one! I just remove the front seats and sit in the back.

[thewrench]

Haha, alright Wilt, well maybe not.

It's funny, if you read the copy on that ad, it talks about stashing a baby behing the back seat, my how times have changed.

[MP3Architect]

not too shabby for a suzuki

[Killer]

Pass. Literally.

[Vegasdriver]

hmm, what?

[FlyinMSP]

with about $10k in mods it would be badass...too bad people that buy those cars don't have $10k

[Donas64]

Yeah the WRC model looks amazing but I'd rather still have my P5. Not a bad effor though.

[mountjonas]

it looks pretty decent. i read an article about it in sport compact car. the one thing they hated was the front pillar of the front door. i guess it gets in the way when you're looking left. even the engineers agreed that it's an issue. either way. interesting car.

[Vegasdriver]

The more I look at this car the more I like it!
Worse yet, I am not in the car buying market for at least a year!

[Kansei]

Yeah I keep seeing it in commercials and it's a really cool lookin car! can't wait to read up on some driving impressions and such

[wishingfora ms3]

cool car and good warrenties. like the fact that its awd and fuel efficient. should be interesting to see how this little car evolves. and what direction suzuki takes. personally i like this new car, hatch, thing, mobile. but im not sure if i would be content witht the amout of power available. id want some more power out of it.

i love the sound of the video clip

[wishingfora ms3]

yeah its pretty sweet. i wonder if you could make some decent power without ruining the awd or transmision.

[Vegasdriver]

Yeah I keep seeing it in commercials and it's a really look lookin car! can't wait to read up on some driving impressions and such
what's a look lookin car?(glare)

[Kansei]

hey now.. :P


*goes and fixes post in a minute*

[II-Savy]

It will need that long warrenty.

[Vegasdriver]

here is a good article on the SX4:

http://www.suntimes.com/classifieds/autos/autonews/200573,CAR-News-Car07.article

[wishingfora ms3]

its a good article. i like how they just got down to buisness on the car specs, instead of just beating around the bush on how other cars don't have this or that. granted some of this was said but it was the truth. the car is kinda growing on me.

[Vegasdriver]

It will need that long warrenty.
I would buy a Suzuki thousand times over anything made domestically(yupnope)

[Foolish]

I think TTAC liked it. Here's the review. (http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/?p=2901)

I kind of like it too, but I've never driven one.
I belive the SX4 replaced the Aerio in their line-up. My mother-in-law has an Aerio. Nearly anything would be a step up from that car!

[ForceFed]

don't buy it unless they put the GSXR1100 engine in it.Why would you put an old outdated motor in this thing?
What was the last year a GSXR 1100 was even produced?
I would much rather see a 1000 or 1300 motor in it.
(doh)

[Knox Joe]

you all got it wrong, it needs a Suzuki Startosphere concept motor.

[wishingfora ms3]

I test drove it also. Though the engine is rather weak, overall the car is very nice. It does beg however to have mods added on.
