Article comments for
First Drive: 2007 Suzuki SX4 - Replacing the Aerio SX in the lineup, the 2007 Suzuki SX4 is an all-new 4-door hatchback with standard all-wheel drive and the most powerful 4-cylinder engine in the segment. It's a far cry from the all-powerful GSX-R, but Suzuki knows the real target for the SX4 are buyers who might otherwise consider vehicles like the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa and Scion xA.

#33 of 42 SX4 - Great car for the money by cathie1 Oct 07, 2006 (5:26 am)
I just bought the SX4 auto on 10/4 . I love it!! It is a great car..it is extremely comfortable. When you are driving it, you feel like you are driving a SUV. The car does not have great initial pep but once you get moving it takes off. It has a very smooth ride even on rough roads. Everyone I have taken in it likes it also. Even the people who sat in the back seat which is also very comfortable. It is more comfortable then the Honda CRV which my brother owns. I only paid 14,900 for it. It is not a 17,000 + vehicle like someone else said (unless you get alot of upgrades) and on an empty take it cost $19 to fill up at a cost of 2.23 per gallon. It even comes with a great warranty (7y, 100K bumper to bumper)which gives you confidence for a new model. So for the money, it is a great deal. My dealer even threw in free service every 3700 miles (full service including tire rotation, oil change, and gas fill up) and state inspection and admissions while it is under warranty.

Replying to: aladdinsane (Aug 29, 2006 7:55 pm) For us, who want a manual transmission, we only have the Impreza, Saabaru, and this. All the other ones, while available in manual, are not available in manual with AWD. I am always reading about people wondering who actually NEEDS AWD. Aside from us needing it in the winter due to our driveway and location, I see it as a safety feature. How many people NEED an airbag? not many (by %). But those that do are thankful for it. I had an accident in my Subaru (first ever and not my fault) that ended up with a little body damage. I was physically pushed off the road and had I not had AWD, I surely would not have been able to maintain control.

Replying to: cathie1 (Oct 07, 2006 5:26 am) $17k is sticker for the SX4 Sport. $15k for the base model that you got (I'm assuming stick). With the destination charge, you got it at $100 under invoice, a fair deal for a new model. Wish we had $2.23. Lowest price in Portland I've seen is $2.45.

Replying to: cathie1 (Oct 07, 2006 5:26 am) Wow -- at $14,900 for the automatic, that's $1100 below invoice, not $100. How can that be? Did you trade in another car? Replies to this message: erics6 (Oct 08, 2006 12:30 pm)

Replying to: reeser8 (Oct 08, 2006 11:34 am) Yeah, I didn't see the auto part. That is a great deal... If it's the actual cash value and not part of a trade deal.

Replying to: cathie1 (Oct 07, 2006 5:26 am) I agree with cathie1's post -- we just picked up our new SX4 auto this past week-end and drove about 300 miles thus far. we traded in a 2002 Montero Sport V6 auto - and this is a BIG change (size wise, ride wise, comfort wise and FUEL wise) Its no roadrocket - but as the other poster stated once off the line it can pick up speed good enough. And the build quality seems on par with typical honda levels IMHO. only thing I dislike is the standard tires... seem poor for snow use? Replies to this message: canuck785 (Oct 16, 2006 11:32 am)

SX4 Review Canadian Driver
#42 of 42 Nice review by by iluvmysephia1 Oct 30, 2006 (9:14 pm)
Canadian Driver. They seemed to like the car a lot and were complimentary of it's drivetrain's smoothness. Quite encouraging. I recommend those interested in the crossover reading the Canadian Driver review. For that matter most of the 2007 Suzuki SX4 reviews are pretty complimentary of the car.
