    The sx4 is a real value for money car. Superb pick-up and power is unimaginable as compared to cars in its segment. Great control at high speed and is very sturdy.Ground clearance is good and the car has a clear Sedan look

    I am using Sx4 for the past 1 year. Sx4 is a brilliant handler, easy to drive even in city traffic because, you need not downshift gears, even in 3rd gear, Sx4 pulls from 30 kmph. Go for Sx4.
