Suzuki SX4 – Perry's Opinion:
Looks like I am odd man out around the office in terms of my feeling that the Suzuki SX4 is severely underpowered. I understand the small car, small engine and high fuel economy idea, but having to keep your foot buried and run the engine at redline to get power makes no sense. It also results in a buzzy freeway drive. Overall, the SX4 is a well-built and designed car actually shaming the Toyota Yaris and bullying the Nissan Versa. The AWD for around $15k puts it over the top. Take the numbness out of the tranny, add some horsepower, massage the looks, and you have a real bargain.
