BRILLlANT PERFORMER THAT NEVER SIEZES TO SURPRISE !

The SX4 is one car I never expected to turn out as i thought it would.

Firstly, its loaded to the gills with all sorts of gadets and features that one would not even find in a car twice its price. Its got Audio controls mounted on the steering, climate control(not present on the city), Airbags and ABS.

Not to forget the massive grip from the humungous 16 inch alloys 225/60 R16 radials that offer phenomenal grip and traction under any cirumstances.

This is where the SX4 shows its EUROPEAN roots as its BUILD QUALITY IS VERY GOOD and the rugged suspension is perfect for Indian roads.

This car feels much more plush and rich than one may think,its seats are fabulous and are fantastically bolstered with great support and they are very wide too at 134cm of shoulder room.

Legroom is also at a premium at 91cm( more than the City's 87cm) and even 6 footers can stretch nicely in the cabin.

The ENGINE is the LIFE of the car as it breathes FIRE through its exhaust pipes ... Its one of the most torqiest engines in its class and even a segment above as all of the torque is available for as low as 1500 rpm ,which makes the car effortless to drive in any gear.

The timings I have acheived using a GPS :

0-60 kmph = 4.95sec

0-100 kmph = 10.88 sec

440 yards = 17.23 sec at 134 kmph

The fuel efficieny is possibly the only factor that may seem mediocre in this otherwise outstanding car. A real world figure of 10.5kmpl in the city with a heavy foot is the minimum one can expect, while this hoots up to 16.1kmpl on the highway.

This is truly a fantastic car thats LOADED TO THE GILLS with all sorts of equipment and at a mouth-watering price of 7.8 Lakh on road. This coupled with Maruti's bullet proof service and resale value just makes the deal a whole lot sweeter.
