Hi, I am a SX4 Sedan owner.. It has been on the road for 2 years ++. The parts if u ask me whether is it difficult to get or not, I will say all Japanese car parts are easily to source and that is no doubt. Is it long? well... I have change a pair of absorber due to I am not statisfy with some kind of squeeze sound coming from front which is minor but they did change for me and the parts is directly from Japan which took them 9 days to arrive and of cause is free of charge.

Apart from that, I have change the stock HU and using single din now as I am more to SQ, the bracket is made in USA and u can get from majority reseller and it cost around RM250 for that time around June which compare to Honda Civic as exactly same thing will cost RM 450. I can say SX4 is worth abit more than the price offer which is decent and as I'm thinking like u did which I preder Japan made over SEA. No new Model of SX4 coming but there will be Kizashi will official launch next year. Anyway, I have meeting now... Chat next time... Cya.

Added on November 30, 2011, 3:26 pmBoss... How can you compare crossover with a sedan... If you wan to compare, you should compare with SX4 Sedan. 515 Liters. Beat that please...

On top of that, why you guys like to compare based on a paper sheet? Did you know that SX4 has the highest power to weight ratio among 1.6L stock car? It has only 1205 KG! geeeeeez

Test drive first among all the cars before making any decision. At the end, it's individual own preference.

bought snow white

hey popice, congrats on new car... i saw the 5 years warranty in the newspaper yesterday. did you managed to get that as well ? hehe... if u did, lucky you!

snow white? nice!!


btw.... found this online.. about first 1000k breaking in myths.... www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

which newspaper?

I've done 44000 kms and just loving every moment driving this car. Did any of you change the stock absorber of the crossover? Find the rear absorber to be soft to my liking.

just wash my sx4 with permanon :-)

hey popice, sorry late reply.. had a long long holiday hehe... btw.. i think it was in Sinchew newspaper last 1-2 weeks... anyway i called up my SA and he did say i have the 5 years warranty as well.. said its in the system etc etc... anyway got time will drop by service centre to check it out.. hehe.

how are you guys doing on FC?

1st tank about RM85=480km
2nd tank about RM80=508km ( think was because of highways...went to kl for holiday and back to jb)
3rd tank about RM82=480km..
4th tank forget how much should be same price= 330.. still got quarter tank left...

so far so good... am using shell 95..

what petrol do you guys use?

when did u bought your sx4? mine i think tak dapat 5yrs. need to check with SA.

i did not monitor the FC and using shell 96 also.
last sunday i did wash my car and apply permanon.....can lah. but i read in forum say optimum no rinse is good.

i drive to bayan lepas factory.....actually did not really monitor fc.

As my wife was comparing between Nissan Livina X-Gear and SX4.

She like small suv car, that's why she considering this 2 cars.

And for what I saw from autoworld forum, X-Gear can get 11km/L for full city drive.

Hope to hear you update the latest fc for SX4

I prefer SX4 over X-Gear, but the main consideration still is the fc.

Any one else like to share his avg fc for full city drive with heavy jam?

sx4 is cbu...take note.

Am in jb... My sx4 has about 3400kms now... To and from jb singapore almost everyday.. So quite jam...
On average my car tells m I'm doing consistently about 12.4.km/l...
But my real calculations are about rm82-85 @ 490-510km with caltex 95
But it's quite strange.... Every time i pump with shell which I used to do with previous car. I get only like 440km per tank.. Shocking! Dunno y.. Tested twice already but not sure why...

So even though th sx4 on board mileage computer tells me 12.4km/l.... Real life I'm getting about 10.88km/l to 11.86km/l... So still not too bad. but seriously it's really the right foot la... And I the live mileage meter is training my right leg a lot after getting this car.. Hehe..

Car is really sweet to drive.... And yes boths cars are cbu but sx4 from japan x gear from Indonesia i believe... Wanted to get an x gear too but after testing out the car.. Feels sx4 materials and handling are better.... X gear suspension too soft, test out with whole family... Then u know what I mean...

Good to hear that SX4 can get good fc for full city drive.
X Gear is CKD not CBU, so I believe the SX4 quality is better then X Gear.

This Saturday will go test drive for both car.

Thanks for the info.

fatm4a1 - want me to recomend you the salesman? oh yes i think if you book b4 30Jan you'll get the 5 yrs warranty offer.

I stay in Bukit Mertajam, and there a new suzuki dealer open at BM Utama.
This is good news for me, as previously BM did not have any dealer or service center, if I want buy suzuki car, i need go to Butterworth to service my car, I think I need 45min to get there. So suzuki car always not in my list .

Now with the new open suzuki dealer/service center at BM, I only need 10min to get there, very near my house.

what color you choose?

Still not yet decide which car to choose, If you ask me right now, I think my wife will choose silver color, easy to take care

We choose car like choose house, almost half year we find a suitable car
Previously we compare M2, Fiesta and 207, and we almost buy 207 (because of the price affordable), but my wife not really like those cars.
So we try to save more money and find a car that both of us like

I hope that I can get a new car as soon as possible, not another half year

sx4 engine very smooth & quiet
