Nissan Dualis is an AWD small hatch, and having driven both the Dualis was better in every department, and it includes ESP. A few more $$’s ($27K driveaway) but well worth the difference…

SX4 sedan (shudder). probably the worst hatch to sedan conversion i have ever seen. Way too tall, wheels too small and the tail-lights make me squeamish.

My neighbour had one of these, she only had it three months because she was having almost one major accident a week because of the A pillar. She now has a mazda 3.

For anyone in the market for a “Small AWD Hatch”, there is nothing else in the market….closest being, perhaps is the Subaru Impreza Wagon. The extra window in front is to minimise blind spot. Rather then to have a thick “A” Pillar like in other cars, you can actually see through this one! As for the Sedan, at 515 Litres capacity, it has the largest boot in its class (and actually larger then the Falcon or C’dore as well!) The “S” Model, starting from $23490, is the best value-for-money one to go for…How many (if any) other cars at this price has proximity keyless start, cruise, climate air, 6 air bags etc? As for looks of the Sedan, try putting on a set of 17″ Alloys and a rear spoiler and the look is completely transformed!

Realcars, what do you mean they drink above their class? As in they are more or less economical than class competitors?

According to the Subaru website, the Impreza 2.0R economy is 8.8l/Auto 8.9l/Man

I think the $24k AWD S Hatch with all the fruit is the one to buy with the agility of a small car and with the potential of doing some off road driving. As a multi purpose a car and equipment levels it leaves the Corolla, Civic etc for dead.
This model comes out with ESP & Sat Nav and a 7 year warranty in the U.S for $16.500 and is the cheapest AWD car in North America and rightly so they love them up ther, so why are we getting ripped off blindly here Ateco Suzuki?

The Corolla auto’s real world fuel economy is 6.9L/100kmh as tested by Wheels.

Poor economy due to AWD?

Subaru AWDs drink above their class.

What is the point of this car? So it’s not bad, that’s fine, but most cars are not bad. The Civic is better than not bad and also beat the SX4 in a group test you guys did a while back. Not to mention that it looks so horribly awkward. Tall sedans don’t work, just ask the Seat Toledo. It’s quite ugly actually. The Liana looked better.
Is there really any call for this when you could have a Focus, Civic, Lancer or at a bit of a stretch and take away the stupid looking small alloys, a Golf?
