Suzuki SX4 1.9 Diesel Grip 2009

An excellent car - we bought it so that we could get to work when it snows. Most of our neighbours have conventional 4x4 monster trucks. The SX4 is a civilised and small alternative which so far has proved as effective in the snow as its bigger rivals. It is easy to drive, relatively economical with 6 gears, gives a very good view of the road, has lots of power at low revs, has all the equipment that most manufacturers sell as extras and feels very, very safe in the worst road conditions. The great problem is availability. Most SX4s are 2 wheel drive so the four wheel drive version is very difficult to get second hand.

Suzuki SX4 2008

Since Jan 09 this car has covered 11,500 miles and it’s as smooth as ever, as it is comfortable. It gets 209 miles on half tank of petrol and is a quick’ish car for its size. The not so good points are a clunky gearbox, limited vision front as posts to wide, noisey engine on motorway, feels very unstable at 70 /80 although its top speed is 112; it’s only good for a bout 85 mph and finally it cost new £10500 now at 12 months old it is only worth £6000.

Suzuki SX4 2006

After 4 years with my Liana I got the SX4 GLX and I can honestly say that they are both excellent, especially the SX4. The SX4 has given over 3 years of trouble free motoring up to now, it has never let me down and still has that new car, feel good factor and appearance about it, with good mileage and reliability to me and it’s the best buy around. No problems at all.

Suzuki SX4 glx 1.6 petrol auto 2008

Autobox is efficient and economical, easy to drive, front A-pillar visibility is poor, folding seat arrangement not as good as a Jazz, this car was my wife’s choice. I would bought the Jazz in spite of the Honda’s bland looks. Having said that my 13 year old Baleno was a very reliable car. Boot space on SX4 is adequate, I have removed seats to increase load volume, but its a palaver to refit, should be reliable but has a lot of electronics to go wrong. Looks stunning in white.

Suzuki SX4 GLX 2008

Not bad at all... at this price you can’t find a better car. Everyone praises my car, the design is impressive, interiors are not to so great but they are fine too. The car gives better road view driving locally, A/C is quickest to cool down rear passengers. Gets you down on mileage side, it really drinks but the again compared to its size and shape 33 mpg driving locally is ok. The car is quick and smooth. I liked it and will keep it for 2-3 years at least while within warranty.

Suzuki SX4 Not an SX4 at all but an X-90 1996

Pamela is a pig! Pamela is a 10 year old Suzuki X-90, not many of these girls about and for good reason too, they are awful. Actually, the pigginess is outweighed by the quirkiness and for that I actually do love her. Her roof comes out for the sunny days and the ride is instantly transformed into one of fun fun fun! Her engine is a real trier, 1600 and quite nippy, the manual gearbox quite positive but the suspension came off a Silver Cross pram and the (sometimes frightening) cornering ability - did I say ’ability’? - from a bath chair, or perhaps I should slow down a bit. Her 4WD capability is fine for what she is, I wouldn’t take her mountaineering but to get me to the stables and across muddy fields - perfect! Pamela turns heads wherever she goes; some in sheer amazement at the sight of such a strange car, she’s not the prettiest 2 seater on the block, but then again she always gathers a crowd (ok, one or two) of admirers. Comments fly with ’I’ve never seen a car like that before, what is it?’ and ’I bet you won’t get stuck in the snow in that smashing little car, love’. She’s a little red bomb shell and loves to go topless whenever she can! Her bottom is huge, behind that hides her boot, even with the spare wheel in there, there is plenty of shopping bag room. What more could a girl want? admiring glances, speedy mover, 4wd for the tricky times, a huge boot and the chance to go topless at the drop of a hat! ...and the name ’Pamela’?.... it was the name given to her by her previous owner, a fabulous drag queen with a name I couldn’t possible put into print!

Suzuki SX4 1.9 DDiS 2WD 5dr 2007

I have recently test driven this car and found that whilst the diesel is a much better drive than the petrol engine , there is still poor forward visibility and its very tight on space (boot is tiny), which doesn’t make it a very practical proposition for a 4x4. Very good looking car and undeniably comfortable but sadly lacking an all round package.
