Suzuki SX4 – Chee's Opinion:
Here's a small, stylish car with surprisingly peppy performance, ample cargo room and AWD. It has what looks to be an interior that will wear well, with seats that are comfortable enough. Drive this baby high in the rev range and you get surprising performance. One minor point: I didn't like the numb feel of the shifter, and don't need the AWD. Still, it's a screaming deal for $15,000. Make mine the SX4 over the Dodge Caliber, for sure. Now all they need is a turbo version.
