Interior and cargo space are roomy for a compact car. Lots of head & leg room for front and back seats. Easy to get in and out of front seats. Trunk is big. For a small car that's easy to park there's plenty of interior space. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

Even though the car is pretty heavy (w/ AWD package) we found the SX4 crossover to accerlerate faster than the Fit or Matrix. The AWD system works very well and is outstanding in snow and ice conditions. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

All wheel drive option. 4 Wheel disk brakes stop in an instant. Handles like a high end sports car. Grips the road. Smooth ride with 4 adults on board. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

With the cruise control on in 5th, the car went over the passes at 70, never needed to downshift. Much better than shift happy the Ford. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

We needed a small AWD vehicle for winter driving. No one else offed one at this low of price. 2 liter engine w/ automatic is quite peppy. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

With automatic only: VERY poor acceleration and passing power. Dangerously slow. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

Acceleration is marginal, esp,. with the automatic. Manual is not too bad, but a turbo option would be helpful. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

This is the only car I've owned that planes on wet roads multiple times. Replaced the standard Dunlap tires which came with the new car (and only had 25K miles on these) for Tiger Paws which didn't do well on snow. Have Goodyear Triple Tread now which are quieter and ride better but I haven't tested on highway with rain. see full Suzuki SX4 review |
