I bought SX4 3 years back. Today after running 45000 kms the pickup is superb and not reduced, still I enjoy the same new car performance. This car with fantastic High Power Engine results in good pickup. The initial pickup is as good as Honda. Since the ground clearance is more, the speed breakers does not hit the car base. In Honda Speed breakers hit the car base easily even in low speed.
Spacious room and leg space.-- While turning right - U TURN -- the A column hinders the view some times. -- Poor Suspension is the usual and the only problem with maruti cars. I say this because of my previous experience. But for that, this car is a Comfortable car. I feel Maruti Suzuki SX4 is an Excellent, maintenance free, reliable car best suited for Indian roads. Of-course difficult to find parking space.
