Hi Ian,
We haven’t heard of any specific issues with that model and, generally and excepting the recent recall for dodgy brakes in the Celerio city car, Suzukis are usually very reliable, so you should be fine. A nice car, the S-Cross, actually — rather underrated.
Thinking of down-sizing to a Suzuki SX4.
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.
