Drove an Suziki SX4 saturday.
I must say its a very nice car. They only had a 4AT on
the lot so it was a little dog-ish but not too bad.
I think I am going to buy a 5MT sport in the near future,
its a great deal for the money although the mileage is
not the best.

Suzuki has another car in Japan and Europe called the Swift, and that is the one that at least partially competes with the Fit.

In a place like Japan where you can walk in and get a Fit (and with a good discount too!), people who think of getting themselves a Fit don't think about the SX4 and vice versa. But I do acknowledge that such is not the ballgame in the U.S. right now with the Fit. A lot of cars compete well with another car that you cannot find to buy.

Suzuki SX4
I'm also interested in the Suzuki SX4. I drove an Aero last year and afterwards decided to set my sights on a Honda Fit. Because of the wait and the mark up, I've decided to wait until there are some used ones for sale- if there will ever be used ones for sale...
Now I'm looking at the SX4 and thinking that the AWD would be a nice option to have since we're thinking about starting a family in the next year. We don't see much snow here in central Ohio so I'm not sure that option is worth the purchase... any thoughts?
*Side note- While waiting for the Fit, we decided to trade in my VW Cabrio (it was on its very last leg) for an Element and we L-O-V-E it.

But if you do not need a 4WD but are looking at cars with good economy and space utility, SX4 may be a questionable pick. That's my opinion, of course.
