Cool Another DD to look into!

So I saw a commerical for this little guy last night and the one featured was in black and actually looked pretty cool! The model name got my attention as most vehicles these days with "X" in the model will indicate an AWD system. Well, to my surprise, these new Suzuki's made in association with Fiat are in fact AWD!

Not bad for a DD! You Fit guys better watch out for these!

AWD
2.0L motor
143hp



There is also a WRC version too for this season. Looks pretty cool!



What do you guys think?

I'm thinking: Why is there a roof scoop?
It is front-engine, yes?

To make an attempt to stay on topic: No it's not a great DD unless you live in Snow. The real world MPG is in the Low 20's. A Fit for the same price will get at least 10 more real world MPG.

Being that it is a WRC car, roof scoop would be for cabin ventilation I think.

SX4
$14-16k
2.0l
143hp
23/31
AWD

Fit
$14-16k
1.5l vtec
109hp
28/34
FWD

It's all in personal preference IMO. I was reading a little closer and the AWD version is only for the hatchback model (like the WRC version). Still though, this thing might be a blast to zip around in!!
