This is my 2nd Suzuki Sx4 & i love this car! Its small so i can fit into crazy tiny parking spots but feels spacious on the inside & the seatbelts are like butter, I have a pet peeve about seatbelts that are too constricting. This car zips around & its AWD & just is a joy to drive. There a few downgrades on this version though comparing it to my older version, the main one being that this car doesnt have keyless entry. It has a key fob, but my 2008 version before this had buttons on the handle so i didnt need to take the key out to unlock/lock or turn the ignition on. Its not the end of the world though. I also really wanted a backup camera but Im going to try adding that on myself after. Bluetooth & a sunroof wouldve been cool too but wasnt going to stop me from getting this car again. 2013 is the last year they sold Suzuki cars in the states so i figured this might be my last chance to drive one since Im such a fan of this car. I thought Id like a Mazda cx-5 but it felt like i was driving a boat and it was so cramped in the cockpit. Id trade all the fancy gadgets for being comfortable and having amazing maneuverability. I definitely recommend this car!!! Dec 23, 2022

LOVED this car! Best value hands down on any small SUV- great styling, quality and performance. These little bears go forever! I only traded mine in because it was a manual transmission, and between my arthritis and job that entailed a commute of 24 stoplights/signs, I gave her up. Too bad Suzuki no longer sells in the US. Best kept secret, number 1 car driven in Japan. My little bear was great on gas, averaging 38 mpg city/highway. My ONLY complaint with the car was its small gas tank, I had to fill up 2x/week.
