The question
Thinking of downsizing to a second hand Suzuki SX4. Any thoughts on fuel consumption/reliability or other things to look out for? Looking at a 2008-2010 model.
Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
A really good car the SX4 - it's hugely reliable and if you can track down a 1.9 diesel 4x4, you'll find it has genuine go-anywhere capability.
The more common 1.6 petrol is a bit thirstier though, with official economy of 42mpg and you'll struggle to match that in daily driving. The boot is also a bit on the small side. Worth looking for deals on the current SX4 S-Cross - a really good and very underrated car.
