2010 Suzuki SX4 Crossover

[R22B]

The 2010 Suzuki SX4 gets slightly more power and new transmissions. This subcompact car comes in hatchback and sedan body styles. Both use a 150-hp 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, an increase of 7 hp over 2009. Transmission choices includes a new 6-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic (CVT). These replace a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic, respectively. All have front-wheel drive. Hatchbacks offer all-wheel drive that lacks low-range gearing, but can be set for a 50/50 front and rear power split or front-drive only. Available safety features should include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Most optional features would be part of packages, which are priced as separate models. Sedans are likely to remain available with a Popular Package that includes keyless entry and cruise control. Also likely offered will be sport-themed SportBack hatchback and Sport sedan, each with specific trim and suspension tuning. Both body styles will likely continue to offer a Technology Package, which includes a wireless cell phone link. Also likely to be available on hatchbacks and sedans is the Touring Package, which includes all items in the Technology Package as well as keyless access and engine start, and automatic climate control. A navigation system should remain standard on several SX4 models. This report is based on evaluations of the 2009 Suzuki SX4.

How many people love these things? I've been look at the 2008/2009 models once I sell my WRX. I followed them when they were in the WRC (now they are in the JWRC I believe). I've been browsing a few Suzuki forums and all the drivers love this car. Surprisingly, the community reminds me a lot of the Subaru community. They are pretty tight-nit and they often take their SX4's off-road.

Looking for videos, I came across these last night:
