2008 Suzuki SX4, Part Three
Why you should buy this car: "Yeah man, that WRX is nice but it looks like it's had some hard miles. That kid put stickers on it, that makes me nervous. I don't know if I want a used car. Yeah, yeah I'd love a new one but that's a little out of the question right now and, you know, I want something fun to drive but... yeah. I hear you. It's just that I don't want to have to replace the clutch in ten thousand miles. Why can't I have something new, fun and affordable that isn't stripped to the bones?"
Why you shouldn't buy this car: "OMG, have you seen the Fit? Honda makes it. FIT. F-I-T. OMG Cuuuuuuute. They had one in this orange color, I loved it. LOVED IT. But it had a stick and I'm not learning to drive a stick. The engine in the Fit? I don't know, I think it has one. Oh that Scion is super fierce. The fiercest. LOLzz"

2008 Suzuki SX4, Part Two
Exterior Design:***
Design touches such as the split A-pillar, metal-look skid plates and black plastic everywhere give the 2008 Suzuki SX4 a distinctive and tough look that unfortunately distracts from its sporty and capable soul. If we're being generous, the car is a triathlete, pretty good at almost everything. At least it looks unique.
Interior Design:****
Did I mention the back seats tumble all the way forward? That's a nice touch. Though most of the buttons and switches come out of the Suzuki parts bin, everything is within easy reach and everything works like you'd expect it to. Everything but the shifter. The tall greenhouse also means those long of torso and rich with gear can move a lot for a little.

2008 Suzuki SX4, Part One
When an automaker wants you to sell you a vehicle like the 2008 Suzuki SX4, they'll put together an ad featuring people who seem to spend their entire life riding mountain bikes, chugging energy drinks and otherwise enjoying a kind of lifestyle that exists predominately in the glossy pages of men's magazine. Needless to say, climbing class three mountains isn't how I spend my weekends. Thankfully I know a few people who do.
I should have known what I was getting into early Saturday morning when my friend Jane called to let me know she'd be late because she had forgotten she had a rock climbing class to teach. It actually worked out, because I had forgotten I wanted to spend another couple of hours in bed eating Cheerios while updating my online book list. I also needed to see if the SX4 would be able to be hold all our gear because that famous Chicago wind was acting up, meaning that hoisting bikes onto the roof wasn't the best idea.
