2009 Suzuki SX4: They Made It Better Than Before

wow, its like suzuki fixed every problem insideline complained about...

I agree, I think the red tail lights would look a bit better. I think the SX4 is a neat little rig. IL needs more tests like this one....you know something that costs less than $25,000........

"wow, its like suzuki fixed every problem insideline complained about..."

Especially if they addressed the lack of soft touch materials at the touch points.

Can you get the manual transmission and retain AWD? If so then you could very easily get a bargain WRX.

Hopefully Suzuki will make the body kit an option for those that need ride heigth and ground clearance.

For '09, you can have AWD and auto.

Wow, nice improvements! I will never be in the market for a car of that size/price again, but that should spark some interest. Could be a great car for a teen or college student.

@huyracing: all-red taillights are dangerous.

But yeah, kudos to Suzuki for updating their little wienerbox.

@mikeolan: All red tail lights aren't dangerous, just the execution of them. My Tribeca has all red ones but everyone can see my turn signals because of the near wrap around side mirror repeaters. Of course this has nothing to do with your comment if your saying the reverse lights are also redded out; they should ALWAYS be clear.

You can use filters on all-red lights to give amber turn signals, à la Porsche 968.

The SX4 might be a genuinely competitive car now. Too bad there won't be any dealers left to sell or service it.

Sam,

Isn't a bargain 'Rex an Impreza?

I think Suzuki has done a wonderful job of finally making this car appealing. I actually caught myself gazing at the first pic, thinking how, from the A-pillar backward, it remindes me of a Mk V GTI. Wouldn't it be a laugh if this car was eventually offered with a turbo, on either the 2WD or AWD platform? Then it could go up against the GTI or WRX, respectively.

suzuki has done a wondeful job....i hope it attaracts toyota matrix and minicooper buyers.....according 2 suzuki dis sportback will compete da mini cooper n i hope dey get through it n make it a successful car in da US.....suzuki da best!!

does it have a navigation system in it??

lexuslover2, have you ever thought about taking up the English language, at least as a hobby?

yeah ryte...atleast i speak dis language betta dan u.....

n if u r soooo interested in teachin english den y dont u take tutions of english n earn some money....atleast from dat money u can buy a tata nano..da cheapest car in da world....mf

Seriously lexuslover2, it's like listening to someone talk with marbles in his mouth.

I think lexuslover just has REALLY big thumbs, and those tiny tiny keys on a palm PRE are SMALL! LOL

Or, he's the laziest person alive and can't be bothered to spell out "that" instead of "dat".

For those of you who have seen his TV show, it's obvious that Lexuslover2 is really Ali G!

Thanks to Scott Oldham for posting this information, because I've been curious about the improvements to the SX4 since reading about it on Edmunds Auto Observer. Too bad I need something with just a bit more cargo space!

dude surfwagon......is there anything wrong if i write "dat" instead of "that" or if i write "der" instaed of "there"...u moron...if u cant understand english den its not ma fault..

firstwagon...stop cracking out lame jokes..

The new SX-4 sedan looks quite nice too. Someone in my apartment complex has one, complete with great looking 17" or 18" rims. I was pretty impressed.

As for lexuslover, he is even more eviler then Skeletor!

lexuslover2

You're right, that was lame... I'll try to think of something funnier.

"u moron...if u cant understand english den its not ma fault.."

Sooner or later you be out of high school and you'll want to buy that Lexus. How will you get a job to pay for it with every second word on your resume spelled wrong?

wow, (as the owner of a '06 Vibe) I have always looked at SX4's with interest....and now I too am impressed with just where Suzuki is taking the little things. Thats a step in the right direction at least in my little-wagon-loving heart.

dude...i already own a lexus gs460 n u know what... its of no use arguing with people like u beacuse you guyz are big time loosers n idont wanna waste ma time arguing with loosers...

Uh oh, firstwagon you just got served.

OK, if you say so.

zomg firstwagon just back down, its not worth it man. That guy is straight from the ghetto and you can't even deal with that.

Wait I'm confused. Why would you live in the ghetto but drive a 50+K car? Something does not add up.

Yeah lexuslover, don't waste your time with us. Hooked on Phonics (or is it ebonics) is waiting.

As a person with a M.Ed., I can understand English well, thank you very much. What you write is not English, though.

An expensive car does not a civilized person make.

"i already own a lexus gs460 n u know what..."

Corrected: "My parents already own a lexus gs460 n u know what...they drive me around in it"

"its of no use arguing with people like u beacuse you guyz are big time loosers n idont wanna waste ma time arguing with loosers..."

lexuslover, looser is an adjective and cannot be pluralized. If you are going to try to insult someone get it right, loser. You are worse than the guy holding the "Moran" sign.
