2010 Suzuki SX4 Sportback Review

Hot Hatchback

In short: A sporty and smooth-handling 5-door hatchback.

The aptly-named Suzuki SX4 Sportback is a fun-to-drive 5-door hatchback that combines excellent handling and peppy acceleration with a comfortable, well-equipped interior. Although the SX4 Sportback's EPA rating of 23 mpg city is unimpressive when compared with the figures of competitors such as the Honda Fit, drivers looking for a little more performance from their compact city car will do well to check out this agile economy hatchback.
