#8 of 103 father in law got his SX4 24 days ago, automatic by harrychezt Nov 07, 2006 (6:47 pm)
and mainly fwd, about 20-25% city, rest Hwy, and he drives 120 miles per day(alittle over 2K right now). 28+ MPG avg. He does drive faster than the speed limit(by about 5 MPH). No cruise( he said if he had cruise, adn dorve the speed limit, he could probably hit 30MPG, as advertised).   Great Car. I hope the rest of the line up, over the next few years, mimics the SX4.... may have to buy a Suzuki myself, then!

Replying to: harrychezt (Nov 07, 2006 6:47 pm) good feedback... my thoughts were the same at having (wishing mine had cruise); but I think you can actually get "better" MPG with out it on a small egine car like ours. My reasoning is that on slight inclines you will either start going faster sooner to overcome the hill or just give up some speed for a short distance, which saves a tad bit of fuel. Where most cruise system will force a down shift which I think will burn more fuel?   Then again maybe I tell myself that as no Sports were available - LOL   John Replies to this message: arkainzeye (Nov 08, 2006 8:27 am) 1999johnner (Nov 08, 2006 11:00 am)

Replying to: erics6 (Nov 05, 2006 7:23 pm) since the fit has 500 less lbs of weight. what is the CC (engine size) differences between the fit and the sx4 since the sx4 is heavier.

Replying to: 1999johnner (Nov 08, 2006 3:56 am) are you saying the sx4 has to get a running start to climb a hill? my tracker with a 2.0 engine (4x4) doesnt have to get a running start to climb a slight hill nor does the engine rev real high either. the tach might jump a tiny bit but thats all. my tracker is only 127hp but i bet it weights alot less. mine is only the 2door.

Replying to: arkainzeye (Nov 08, 2006 8:27 am) I think you may read my message incorrectly (or I wrote it wrong, very possible)   Most cars I have owned while using the cruise control on a highway that is not flat, rather hilly. The system will hold you at the selected speed then when the hill comes up speed drops down a bit - maybe 2-4 MPH. Then the system starts to increase gas flow & kicks down to a lower gear to maintain that speed.   My other car is a Isuzu Ascender with a 4.2L inline six making about 293HP and at 65MPH it turns about 1800RPM. with a slight hill the speed stays the same but in 3rd at about 2800RPM.   My little Sx4 can climb a steep hill with no worries
#14 of 103 Any mileage difference between 2wd and awd by erics6 Nov 16, 2006 (6:32 pm)
Curious if any of you new owners have experienced a mileage difference between 2wd and auto 4wd? It'll be interesting to see if there is any benefit to the manual system. Those of you up north may have to answer this question.
#15 of 103 4-speed by arkainzeye Nov 22, 2006 (6:40 pm)
who here has the Optional 4-Speed automatic trany in their sx4? my tracker has the option 4 speed in it and i must say it was worth it! you can turn the 4 speed off to put it into 3 speed mode and wow that engine revs alot higher than when it is in 4 speed mode. my question and comment is what kinda gas mileage you get with the optional 4speed and did anyone see how expensive the sx4 gets when adding the 4 speed? $18,000!!
