I've had mine for 8 years and I would recommend anyone buying one as a run about. It's been reliable but I have spent a lot on new tyres. One plus thing that isn't mentioned often is when you remove the rear seats, which is easy to do, there is a large flat loading area in the back. Great for runs to the tip or like me to convert to a car camper. This is what I've done with mine and I've posted a load of videos over the last year or so - I've had a lot of fun with it and some great nights away!
I have one and have had one for the last 7 years. I would say. Yes definitely buy one it's extremely reliable and practical. So treat yourself it's worth it
Really reliable, have had one for about 5 yeara, never given me issues. I .aintain it, i service it myself, change its engine oil, engine air filter etc etc but apart from that nothings seems to break on it. And its a crossover i like that higher driving position in it
It was never very popular BUT it IS still very reliable (the best car I've had in that regard). The best way to find a reliable car is to look for the comments of roadside repair/towing company technicians. I found their comment was that this car almost never showed up in their "problem list", so that means it's a very reliable car. The 4 wheel version is almost as expensive as the 2 wheel version BUT has more fuel consuption ofcourse, so every advantage has its own disadvantage.
I bought the SX 4 when they were first introduced in the US for $12,000 brand new 18 years later still running fine 94,000 miles on it all wheel drive is excellent. I just bought a set of headlight boxes for $270. Makes it look like brand new.🚙🤪

Another issue is that the steering wheel is on the wrong side 😉 I'm currently looking to buy a 2010 auto with 63,000km on it. I watched my son's buddy rip through snow on our street with one of these when the grader was stuck on the same street! That sold me. This is in central Saskatchewan (-45C winter with LOTS of snow that doesn't melt until April or May). They seem to go cheap because they are no longer made, and there are no dealers here in N. America. I checked and parts are still available though.
If they stick the swift sport engine in it id would have had it in a heartbeat. I know power isn't every but I've always power is nice when you need it.
Have the 1.6 peteol as a run around, was initially the main car but have since gotten a new one, however the 2010 car went through its MOT this year with zero advisories, so couldnt get rid. It's a tank. One thing I will say though is that the turning circle is deceptively bad for a car of this size, one manoeuvres you'd expect it to handle like Corsa/Clio etc...but it turns wide.
Basically a jacked up Swift (in itself an excellent car). Very cheap secondhand - overlooked as a smaller 4wd option. Check out the identical and even cheaper Fiat Sedici. Usual brilliant Suzuki engines, very reliable, low MOT failure rate but watch out for broken springs, terrible split A pillar blind spot (why I ended up selling mine) and on petrols catalyst sensors which fail at 50k miles (easy fairly cheap fix). Usual Suzuki small boot but roofrails allow option of roofrack/roofbox.
@@tarsan894 it's great for the city for the size and visibility! But also decent in rural areas! The only thing is highways in big open fields, the car is light and can catch a lot of side wind 😅 but this car has never failed me, I've never been stuck in the Minnesota snow
Visibility? The front arms that hold the roof and hold the windshield have a one of the worst blind spots i have ever seen in a vehicle. Love my sx4 but she has her flaws.

Great video... Just seen a 2011 4WD of this - and this is the best video I can find on the SX4... seems to have escaped video!

I've had mine for a couple of years and it's been great in the snow! 2010 6spd manual with 2.0 Engine 4WD
Helpful to know!

It would be nicer to hear that data in metric system
best car I've ever had in sixty years of motoring.
I have one and it's amazing
Really upsetting to know the mpg on the diesels. Im in canada and they didn't offer the diesels here

Need muscle to drive it. Steering is heavy.
Sx4 vs swift gen 2?
I am using these car 🚗 very good one SX4

I have one and agree the split A pillar blocks vision.
i have a swift 2007 thinking to switch to a suzuki sx4
A great city car
City? These are more suited for rural areas that get a lot of snow
@@tarsan894 well, I live in a city that gets snow

It's a field car.
The 4x4 is seldon and nice.
