2008 Suzuki Sx4 Touring / Road Trip Edition with AWD and automatic transmission.  We got it from a dealer when it had 26k on it and it’s the version with just about all the available bells & whistles.  This is an awesome car with no mechanical problems whatsoever and lots of miles left to go -  I would prefer to keep it forever but I have twin babies on the way in the Spring and I have given up on the dream of fitting them and my 7-year-old and my wife and me and all our stuff into this car.  



The Good:


- Well-maintained car with regular synthetic oil changes since we bought it.  I can provide maintenance records.  

- Highly reliable - we just it bring it in for regular maintenance … tires, alignments, brakes, etc.

- Switch lets you toggle between AWD when you need it and FWD when you’d rather save gas.

- Excellent on gas.  Fueleconomy.gov says 21mpg city/ 28 hwy/ 24 combined for the AWD but that sounds lower than the reality, probably because this car has the switch… it tacks on a few more for the FWD version.

- Super-safe car: Stability control (that works great by the way - you can really feel it and the indicator light comes on when it kicks in), dual front airbags, ABS brakes.

- Great in snow (even better in the snow than my old Subaru Forester was).  High clearance for a small car.  “Lock” button keeps all 4 wheels in sync temporarily for when you need to dig out of snow - that works awesome.  This thing barrels right through the plow-in of my driveway.

- Surprisingly roomy inside both for your people and your stuff for a car this size.  Rear seat folds down (both halves separately) for when you need to haul extra stuff.

- 2 remote starters - great for winter mornings.

- A/C blows super-cold.

- Power-everything: windows, locks, mirrors (and mirrors heat up with rear defrost)

- Cruise control

- Click into 3rd gear and back on-the-fly... good for hills.

- Rear wiper

- Really nice sound system: 6-cd player, AM/FM stereo, XM/Sirius satellite radio ready

- Audio controls on steering wheel

- Tinted rear windows and rear windshield

- Clean, never-smoked-in

- Just passed NYS inspection in November

- Clear title in hand

- I will provide auto-check report (similar to carfax) if you need one


The Bad:


- The accident that you’ll see reported on carfax/autocheck: a slowly-moving car that was trying to park bumped into the open front driver’s side door, just enough to cause it to need to be replaced.  The new door (about a year old) works perfectly and there is no residual effect from that.

- Somebody sideswiped the car on the driver’s side a few years ago when it was parked.  I didn’t bother to report or repair the damage.  There’s a small dent with some rust and scraping (see photo) on the rear left fender leftover from that.  No frame or wheel damage - just cosmetic.

- I bumped a wall during a terrible parking maneuver and the little black plastic lining (not sure what it’s called) on the front right popped off (see photo).  I still have it.  It comes free with your purchase of the car!  The part of that lining that is still on the car has a couple of cracks around the front.

- In a separate but equally terrible parking maneuver, that lining got slightly loosened on the rear right of the car.  No structural damage.

- In a less-than heroic attempt to replace my own rear-right tail light, I managed to crack the red plastic cover.  I glued/taped it backed together with a repair kit (see photo).  It passes inspection and for about 2 years now it has held fine and all lights are working.

- The rear tires are running low on tread (the fronts have a long way left to go).  

- The tire-pressure sensor is broken so the light for that is often on even when the tires are full.   This does not cause inspection to fail.  

- Center console mini-storage between the two front seats has always been a little loose and getting looser.

-  My only pet-peeve: the gas tank is too small - it only only takes 10 gallons so you need to keep filling up.  The cool thing is it tells you how many miles you have left to drive on your tank.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Indian diamond merchant gives 600 new cars to his staff

Fri, Oct 26 2018

NEW DELHI — India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi helped a diamond merchant present hundreds of new cars as gifts to his employees on Thursday. Six hundred employees of Hari Krishna Exporters, a diamond trading company run by Savji Dholakia, received cars made by Indian manufacturer Maruti Suzuki, while around 1,000 more staffers were offered gifts of cash deposits and apartments in a huge outdoor ceremony in Surat, Gujarat. Indians often give each other gifts in the run-up to Diwali, a major Hindu festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil that this year falls on Nov. 7. Modi addressed the prize-giving in his home state of Gujarat via video link, as well as presenting some of the employees with car keys in the capital New Delhi. Dholakia is famous across India for giving lavish gifts to his employees at Diwali, including hundreds of apartments in 2016's ceremony. The showroom value of the 600 cars would be more than $2 million. Gift-giving in the latter part of the year when several Hindu festivals are celebrated provides a major boost to India's economy. The gifts were part of a program targeting staff who have given loyal service to the diamond trader. "The aim of this program was to reward employees' loyalty and dedication towards the company," Dholakia said in a Facebook post.Reporting by Alasdair Pal Related Video: Image Credit: Reuters Auto News Weird Car News Suzuki

Suzuki demand in US rises after bankruptcy

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Following word that Suzuki is ceasing car sales in America, it appears that demand for the Japanese automaker's wares have increased. According to The Detroit News, American Suzuki Motor Corp. will import an additional 2,500 vehicles to quench demand that has jumped since the company announced that it was filing for bankruptcy and ending sales in America.
Dealers recently informed their sales personnel that no more vehicles would be produced and that this was the final push. With heavy incentives and a seven-year warranty as value-adds, November sales for Suzuki rose in November some 22 percent, up to 2,224 vehicles. December sales also rose, but neither month's gains outweigh the long-term losses for the automaker. While Suzuki will sell roughly 22,000 cars this year in the US, it was selling about 120,000 annually before 2008.
As it stands, Suzuki will sell off the rest of its vehicle inventory, including the 2,500 additional units, and dealers will continue to provide parts an warranty work. With all of this negative news for the automaker, it's impressive to see an interest in Suzuki vehicles even with the imminent shuttering of its North American car sales.
