Bought an SX4 this week by groverc

I just purchased an SX4. I traded two cars, so it is hard to determine the actual purchase price. I did get more than edmunds.com trade in value on both of the cars I traded. On one, I received $800 more than what edmunds.com trade in value suggested. So in short, I did pay full sticker for the SX4, but I did get good trade in numbers for the two cars I traded. I bought a Copper base with a manual.
 
So far, the SX4 is proving to be quite the value. Feels very sound and solid. While it does look a little nerdy to me, I was sold on the engineering, value and seemingly high quality of construction.
 
I bought the car from Ray Skillman Suzuki in Indianapolis. It was -- withougt doubt -- the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever experienced. At 39, I have owned more than 30 cars, with the Suzuki being my fifth new car purchase.

you're the first person who has called the new 2007 Suzuki SX4 nerdy! You picked a great color in that orange. You also picked the right transmission-these cars are meant to be driven with a stick, for maximum fun!

For what its worth. Drove one. by duffner

I wanted an extra car for family that visits. Went to the L.A. Auto show twice and I felt the SX4 was the best choice of the Minicars. Plenty of room inside. My eye level (had a tape measure) was 10" higher off the ground than in my Camry. That helps with trying see past the SUVs. The car had better acceleration then some have said. In fact, if you dont punch it, but let it rev, it gets going pretty good. It went up a steep hill OK. I dropped it back out of drive to help it, but it didnt really need that. Back in Drive, it did fine. Its definitely a short wheel base car that is going to jiggle you a little, but it accepts bumps OK. Not too much engine noise. The back seat flop down is lame. Would probably remove one. Miller Mitsu=Suzuki in Van Nuys, CA has about 6 base models. All the colors. They told me they couldnt get a Sport and the sound system in it is no good anyhow and "who needs climate control". Actually, one of the young salemen said if I bought the base model, I could add custom audio that would be better than the Sport. Any comments? The closer was really a jerk.

nice price! Are you seriously considering a SX4 at this time, though?
 
I am, but for a tad bit later down the road apiece.

The Sport offers stability control, a big plus in my book. Otherwise, I don't care about the other options.

im still thnking about it as there are some parts of the sx4 i dont like. as i said it looks alot smaller in real life than on the suzuki website. plus i would only get a sport, and i doubt i will see any good deals on them for a while. my local suzuki dealer has 5 base models in a 5 speed just sitting there. they arent moving like they thought. im guessing probably do to it being a 5 speed? im thinking maybe the sport model will change my mind about the sx4. i want good gas mileage but i also NEED room. so thats why i have been bouncing around in my head between the honda fit, sx4 nissan versa etc. the fit gives the most room and the best MPG. i think its city mileage is higher than the sx4's highway mileage. but it doesnt have awd either. then again youve read my opinion on the (need) for awd where i live. I just like suzuki and i want to give them a try

It sounds like you need by iluvmysephia1

a 2007 Suzuki SX4 Sport, arkainzeye.
 
Just look for the right price. The more I look at the 2007 Suzuki SX4 base model with optional armrest, 5-speeds and either Bright Red or Techno Blue Metallic or Orange paint, the more enthused I become.
 
Let's put it this way: I have the 2007 Kia Optima, I4, 5-speed in Ruby Red up there as my choice for a "large car entrant" for our next car and the SX4 as the small rig. Would probably choose the SX4 today. It will take a new rig from Kia, possibly their new Cee'd concept car to be put into production by the time our '01 Kia Sportage 4x4 with 124,093 miles gives out to sway me away from trading in for a Suzuki SX4. The car is small, yes, but I love small cars so it fits my bill exquisitely.

i like the sport features but the list price of a sport with the 4speed automatic is close to $18,000 and no dispect to Suzuki but i feel that is a little high for the car you get. yeah the features are nice but its still under powered and has a horrible resale value. (family experience with suzuki). I think suzuki makes good products as i have one now. but $18,000 could get me awhole lot of something else if you know what i mean... (honda etc) see for me i NEED cruise control. if the base model came with cruise i might get it! all the bases i seen at local dealers had NO cruise.
