Gallery: 2008 Suzuki SX4 Crossover
DESCRIPTION:
The 2008 Suzuki SX4 is a small crossover that offers a great package of fuel economy, cabin space, and acceleration for the price. The $15,000 SX4 Crossover churns out about 33 miles to the gallon and seats five passengers comfortably. The standard features include: air conditioning, six-disc in-dash CD, daytime running lights, rear wiper, power locks with remote entry, power windows with driver auto-down, a exterior thermometer, four-mode trip computer, 60/40 split folding rear seat, ABS with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), six airbags and driver selectable AWD. Even a comparably price Scion xD doesn’t offer all of this. The all-wheel drive really gives any buyer bang for the buck. With the AWD off, the SX4 crossover sends all power to its front wheels. The wide 205 tires add to the SX4’s fun driving experience. A BMW 328 wears the same tires. Body roll and road grip are nothing short of excellent and the steering wheel is appropriately sensitive. Surprisingly, this fun drive is powered by a humble 2.0L 143 horsepower 4-cylinder engine that offers 136 ft-lbs of torque. The manual transmission is coupled with short gearing for optimum enjoyment. While highway driving might not be very exciting and a 0 to 60 of 8.3 is nothing to brag about, city driving is very pleasurable. Dump your Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Versa for a stellar 2008 Suzuki SX4 Crossover.
