2008 Suzuki SX4 Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Suzuki SX4:

The nimble and utilitarian SX4 not only drives well compared to other cars like it, its interior is high-quality, the cabin is quiet and the seats are supportive.

At urban street speeds of 25 to 40 mph, it's zippy. It easily moves through city traffic. It is agile enough to stay out of the way of big delivery and construction trucks, even when the drivers of those behemoths seem intent on blocking the SX4's path and squishing it and everything else in its subcompact category.

What reviewers liked least about the Suzuki SX4:

The SX4's problem is that it's a little tank. At a factory weight of 2,904 pounds, it is almost as heavy as many mid-size automobiles, which is too heavy for a car in the subcompact class.

Suzuki SX4 Comparisons:

The engine doesn't feel as powerful as the base engines in the Mazda3 and Honda Civic, but holds its own with the smaller Fit and Versa.

The ride is decent on most roads, but becomes choppy on really rough city streets. In this category, the Yaris and Aveo offer smoother rides.

Best one-liner about the Suzuki SX4:

...it's rather classy -- probably the best-designed, best-built, best-looking automobile Suzuki has brought to America since it set up shop in this country in 1963.
