I own an ’06 Aerio. A full tank will ride for a week, just 20 bucks. I love it, and the ride is soo smooth, will do every bit of what it says on the dash without vibrating @ certain speeds. Runs like a motorcycle, could not believe this little car had so much power. I can fold the seats down and pack enuff luggage for six to eight people. Only thing, it does not have cruise control, For the three years I have had it, never had to put it in the shop, kept up with the regular maintenance. Very roomy, can recline the seats and take a nap if I wanted to without catching a cramp. Now that new kizashi that just came out, it too is an awesome ride, just a little too pricey for my pocket.

We’ve had the SX4 auto sedan since november 07 – this is an awesome car to drive, and is stylish to look at. It has grunt under the bonnet – always first away at the lights and very responsive to sudden acceleration – perfect for city and peak hour traffic. I’ve never been a car fanatic, but my adoration of this car is verging on the scary.

We purchase an SX4 S Auto sedan 6 weeks ago it now has 5260 kms on the clock. Fuel consumption has averaged out at 7L per 100Kms. Far better than the 9.5L that Suzuki claim.Finish is excellent,performance is quite acceptable,the A window at the front does not pose any problems and it is a very nice car to drive.
We did the rounds of the other vehicles in its class,features and finish at the price the SX4 is way out in front.

That front 1/4 window is fookin hideous !

And drum brakes should be banned or 4 wheel discs made compulsory.

my 2 cents

Having recently considered/driven the new SX4 (I’m looking to upgrade my 2000 Impreza) I must say that I was impressed with the level of features in the S hatch/sedan. The drive was okay, not really ‘inspiring’ as such, but the leval of equipment is like nothing else I have seen so far (for the money). Front, side and curtain bags and keyless entry are awesome to find. Looks wise I’ll probably go the hatch but I’m sure the sedan would have its buyer.

If you were to compare this car to a new Subaru Impreza hatch, which would be better value for money?

Although I am a Suzuki fan, I think this car will be severely trumped by the new Lancer, in pretty much every department.

No ESP, relatively poor power and economy is going to hurt it badly.

The 9.5L per 100km figure, I’m assuming this would be city driving not highway (8.8L for the automatic), fairly standard consumption for this type of car, generally the Suzuki quality Japan made engine’s are still tight anywhere between 10000 – 20000kms then they start to free up meaning better economy, I should know I own a 03 Grand Vitara, bought it new..
Suzuki have done a great job the last few years, the fan base is growing so look out for them….

Actually I dont believe that figure is true
when I had the car it used hardly any fuel, I told the Suzuki folks their fuel consumption figures were way off.

It actually returned far better fuel economy than the Corolla we have here.
