Suzuki SX4 sedan test drive since 2006 sedan

I want to live in the city!

The first meeting with one of the first Suzuki SX4 in Russia.
He, it turns out, is a little less than I thought! Rather, which seemed at the first meeting at the stand of the Geneva car dealership. However, you can immediately see: the machine is high, which means, most likely not cramped.
So it is: taking into account the vertical landing, it is quite convenient. The colleague on the right, however, grumbles: both his head, you see, rests on the ceiling, and it is inconvenient to attach his feet. Well, two-meter, in sneakers of the 47th size here, probably, is really crowded. But the driver tall at 180 cm and a weight of 100 kg is normal not only in front, but also from behind. There is enough space for knees and heads. Unless the back door is narrow, and the wheel arch is not widely stained for long. But the children from behind will be very cool. Why children? Yes, because Suzuki SX4 from the first minutes of acquaintance caused the thought of a young energetic lady who has to drive a lot along the metropolis.
I think she will like the machine. The sightseeing is beautiful. The outer mirrors are not your own rear wheel is not visible. The engine of course, by no means sports, but powerful enough. The gearbox works smoothly, the brakes are clearly. The fact that under the spacious trunk of a dock, a city car can be forgiven. But the solid road clearance of 175 mm allows you to boldly overcome not the most even areas (there are enough of them in me and megacities), it is more confident to feel in winter, and if necessary, to ride a summer house.
That's just the effort on the steering wheel is not at all ladies! On the go, the car reacts to the steering, but not too sharply. However, in a close parking lot, even a solid man will remember: maneuvering work. And the radius of the turn for the compact machine is too big.
Nevertheless, Suzuki SX4 has data to get a residence permit in megacities. And without any sexual discrimination. Agree, in the black car looks quite like a man, besides, a gentleman of average proportions will have to be in height.
True, the city dweller, who was interested in this car, should be prosperous: the front -wheel drive SX4 will cost $ 20,600. By the way, an all -wheel drive option is only a thousand with a little more, but we plan to talk about it separately and thoroughly.
