It`s from Suzuki Kajang dealer, Focus Motors. The offer was in Dec, don`t know now. I don`t think the car is selling, so the offer may still be on.


Just booked mine at USJ9 with 12k discount.
It is a 08 model.

It's ok for family use lah. Just need to change the 15" wheel to 16" then it will look very much better but my heart still goes for the Swift Sport which is available there. But just have to remember that it is for the family use. tongue.gif

Selayang branch advertised that besides the 12K discount, they could give u extra for your trade-in.

Actually the interior quite ok. And comfortable too. But not yet try on the road. Only thing is I dun like torsion beam rear suspension. Like the Altis also, give you a boat swaying feels when speed exceed 130km/h on highway.
Ram me if you can!

multi-link suspension is less sway but torsion beam will free up more space rite...

I tried already over than 140km/j and nothing happen like u said swaying feel.. The rear spring look high to me, i don't like it but if i take this car i will lower a little bit.

Collected my sedan on thursday.

Overall very good except for a slightly rusty water hose clip in the engine bay and water marked windscreen & on window glasses due to the long exposure to the environment in the open.

Cold A/C and comfortable seats.

Silent engine.

Drove down to Singapore last night and the fuel consumption is very good.
With 80kms of driving around USJ, Taipan & Subang Jaya & 380km of highway driving at 110 kph (+-5kph becos still running-in the engine with the rpm at 2600), the average fuel consumption is 14.6km/l.
Currently checking-out the fuel consumption driving around Jurong & Tuas area over the next few days.

So far so smile_thumbup.gif

well loop, just too bz to write smile_blush.gif

the car is back in USJ now and I use it only during my trips back during the weekends.
the car has travelled down to SG twice within 1 month with the mileage abt 3500km with 1.5 mths use. Used mostly to fetch me from the airport & travelling around USJ/SJ & west PJ area.

To continue the feedback;
the car was giving very good fuel consumption during it's stay in Jurong/Tuas area, got to remember that traffic condition in Jurong/Tuas area is very much different. The average fuel consumption is abt 14.3km/l.
12km/l around USJ/SJ area.

The car is very comfortable to drive and quite silent even at 150km/h, the radio volume remains unchanged at 8 and still be heard very clearly.

The car is quite a heavy car where the 101 bhp 1.6 (2.0 AWD in USA) engine struggles a bit when it comes to overtaking but once it has picked-up it's momentum, it flies.

The handling is good where I can even sweep confidently down the flyover (from LCCT highway joining KLIA highway).
1 problem with the car is, it is very sensitive to crosswinds.
The 195/65/15 Dunlop (Japan) tyres are little bit on the hard side. Advice No.1 : change the wheel size!!! It is 20mm diam. smaller than the hatchback's 205/60/16.
This wheel size gives an error reading of 6km/100km (my previous h/Accord SM4 & Volvo 850T5 is pretty spot-on on it) reading against the PLUS mileage marker which basically means 6% error.
Moreover the car comes with full skirting, the 15" wheels doesn't bring out the fierce look. Seen in SG some with 17" wheels, damn chun!! smile_thumbup.gif

I've had my SX4 sedan for about a month now. Did my first service today and got charged RM 129.60.

The car good points:

1) Excellent fuel consumption, first time pumped rm 72 got about 580 km. 2nd time pumped 77 got 600km. Faboulous!
2) Large booth space
3) Comfort and ride is so far so good, but I have to concur on the crosswinds and oversteer. Handling is better on a neo.
4) Child seat anchorage
5) 8 speakers

Not so-so:
1) The back portion is plastic (just plastic and not carpeted)i.e. behind the seat
2) The aesthetics not much since it's CBU Japan but meant for euro market. The meter is like a mini minor ( which I love the design but not sure if others share the same preference)

Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase. My only complain is the service price. Mineral engine oil RM 98??!! Filter 28!!?? errr.. oh well.. the 3 years warranty is there for this smile.gif

Cheers!
