    Intro - I'm an IT Manager with limited knowledge on auto technology. Thanks to Carwale, I zeroed in on SX4 last year after comparing & test driving 8 other vehicles across segments (only other car I liked equally was Honda Jazz but price did not make sense).

     

    Exterior I wanted a powerful looking sedan/hatchback against feminine Linea or City looks. Not much competetion for SX4 there.

     

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Height (especially Headroom) was a criteria since I switched from Santro (another good car) - SX4 has the best. Space/Sitting position is good for everyone ... too good for person on back seat.  Features at par with competetion - I added parking alarm with sound and display on top of my rear view mirror (I learnt that Honda does not allow such add-ons by threat of void warranty).

     

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Fuel economy around 13km/ltr in city and 15 on highway. Gearbox is smooth but reverse gear sucks sometime.

     

    Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable with strong shock absorbers & high ground clearance  for Indian roads. Most of the times, I drive gentle in Pune traffic. Sometimes I feel like pushing the car to test it's limits in city as well as Highway - it never disappoints. Highest speed I tried on Bypass highway = 130 kph and Car was pretty stable; sudden braking at 100kph was stable as well. Once I drove at speed of 40-50 kph off road for 20 kms.

     

    Final Words I drove Acura 3.2TL in US for few years and wanted a similar experience for Indian Road/Trffic conditions. I'm happy I chose SX4  - thank you Maruti & Suzuki.

     

    Areas of improvement I leave it for auto gurus to decide.
