I liked (and appreciated) this review! As a long-term Jeeper, I am impressed with this little car's engineering. Most vehicles like this would not give the option to lock the center differential, and most do not have as functional an "auto" 4x4 mode. I would like to see some steel skidplates offered to protect the exposed bits, but those are pretty easy to fabricate oneself. For the fuel economy, utility, and capability, this looks like a fantastic buy at it's price-point.

Bought this car a few months ago with the 2012 version which is same as this one since barely any changes were made from 2011. Overall the car is good on the snow and ice because its AWD and weights as much as a truck. If anyone wonders this review was pretty convincing for me to buying this car.

I just bought one of these used for $11,000 (2007 and 38,000 miles) and I really love it. I have a very steep driveway that is hard to get up even with a little snow but my Suzuki had no problem with it. Ground clearance and a small gas tank are its only bad points. Great back seats that fold down flat so you can haul almost anything.

Whoa just about me too. Apx $12500 2007, 29,000 miles. It was an amazing car. Agreed on the ground clearance. You can also take the seats completely out. That's what I did.

Having driven various Suzuki Hatchbacks(WagonR, SX4, Splash) with only 2WD on real hard core Forrest roads in India, I can say he is not even pushing the car as hard as it can handle. Our WagonR is extensively used for Wild Life Photography, even today. Every week it hits the trails after a 2-3 hour highway drive. This thing has completed over 100,000 kms without any damage to the chassis or a breakdown(touchwood). Just that you have to be a bit careful on steep hills and the ground clearance.

Reliability on them is very good as long as you get a genuine Suzuki and not a GM/Daewoo rebadge with a Suzuki emblem on it. The SX4, Aerio, Grand Vitara, Swift, Esteem, are all genuine Suzuki's. Stay away from 2006+ XL-7 (GM made), Reno, Forenza, Verona (Daewoo rebadges). As far as lifespan of the SX4, at this point there are people with 200,000+ miles on theirs with no major issues, just scheduled maintenance.

Yeah, this little car had a LOT of bang for the buck. It could rally. It could softroad. It could commute and park anywhere. I wish Suzuki would have been able to develop this car even more. It seemed off to a great start, and Subaru and Jeep need more AWD/4WD/rally competition in North America. During its years of being sold in NA, the SX4 could be outfitted with turbos, cams, suspensions, skids, winches, hitches, exhausts, clutches, etc. Since 2013 or so, the Subaru Crosstrek has been one of the most popular cars in northern states, but it's well over $20K and STILL doesn't have the aftermarket support that the SX4 had in its short lifespan. You can only get a boring CVT with the Crosstrek, if you want a nice trim level and/or the bigger 2.5L engine. I like having fogs, cruise, a sunroof, and would even like to have (aftermarket?) boost for high altitude. The AWD/4WD of the SX4 could be better than what Subaru now offers in the Crosstrek, as the SX4 could lock the center diff and turn off TCS. The aftermarket offers a rear diff-locker for the Crosstrek though. I just don't like the non-lockable center and the power-robbing TCS of most new AWDs/4WDs. It doesn't function well for self-clearing aggressive tires in mud. If the SX4 aftermarket offered a locking axle diff, Subaru would have to improve the Crosstrek to truly compete. The current Crosstrek is too sedate, in addition to having that non-lockable center diff, IMO. It needs the manual with the 2.5L and upper trims...or even the 2.4T. It needs some more pep in its step.

Anyone interested in the SX4 for SoftRoading, trust me the SX4 is capable of WAY more than what he shows in this video. Google "Rocky Road Outfitters" and check out all the off road gear they make for the SX4 including a Lift Kit, Skid Plate, Shock Relocation Kit, and Rock Rails. With the extra lift the SX4 can fit some serious all terrain tires which makes the thing practically unstoppable! It doesn't affect the cars use as a daily driver either!

They are both good cars. Impreza starts at $17,495 for the sedan version. SX4 starts at $16,999 and that's for the 5-door version. If you want a 5-door version of the Impreza, the price jumps to $17,995. Additionally Subaru will tack a PZEV as a required "option" for another $300 and that's ABOVE the sticker price so that brings it to $18,295 for the base Impreza 5-door. Impreza comes with 7 airbags, SX4 comes with 8. Subaru has 5 yr, 60k warranty, Suzuki is 7 yr, 100k.

My Suzi Mobbs never did me wrong. He's right about you not being able to tell how much of an incline the road gets @2:28. Also, the ground clearance was always the issue. I've hit so many rocks and dips, but I never tore anything important out from the bottom, just the plastic skid guard. With a proper metal one and a small lift, it would have been great. The AWD did excellent with some decent tires (tread still on), a good driver, and timing (especially in its younger years and not when it isn't 10 years old ;) ) . Suzuki SX4 Sport AWD Manual Transmission 2007. Word of wisdom, don't wait to lock it into AWD when you are maneuvering uphill. Be placed in either a flat or downhill position to lock it. If you panic and lock it after you are already going up a big hill, you won't get the traction you need and will have to go back down the hill a few paces, lock, catch speed, and move the wheel correctly depending on terrain. One place we got out of that I didn't think we would, was Holcomb Valley Campground in Big Bear CA, off Polique Canyon. It was snowy, no chains, and a big incline. But! We made it. The next year it dumped 2 feet of snow on us while we were camping so we couldn't get out. lol darn clearance. Overall, great memories though. My poor Suzi Mobbs is dead now. She was good to me and my love. Took us to so many National Parks and out of reach places. I'll never regret having it, just wish I had more years. Thank you for the review "The Fast Lane Car."

Main thing would be to get appropriate off road tires for it but yeah if you the lift kit and skid plates for it you should be able to get to where you want to go no problem. I would consult with the guys at clubsx4 about any issues with the RRO lift kit. Some people have had some issue with bolt shearing but most people seem to be happy with it.

DONT buty this for off roading, read up somewhere how is the whole system of the AWD drive built in this car if you abuse it a lot it wont last long. This car is not ment to be driven in the forest, some short trips or going for holiday ok, but not like everyday going into the mud.

Some proper off road tyres would give better grip and also give you a bit more ground clearence. Aside from the Yeti, I don't think any other compact crossover/softroader is anything like as good off the tarmac. Not saying much but for the price and what they packed into a small body, it's a bloody good vehicle. It makes the Yeti seem overpriced and oversized.
