Suzuki SX4 S-Cross (2013 - 2021) 1.0 Boosterjet SZ-T 5d Owner Review

It’s comfortable, economical, well spec’d and pleasant to drive. Car tax is £30 which is great and it does all we need for both work and as busy grandparents. However the execution of all of these positives has been undermined by questionable quality issues. Such as the head unit giving repeated problems, the vanity light on the drivers side working intermittently despite being replaced multiple times and a steering knuckle knocking which I haven’t had happen in nearly 40 years of driving. Carpet underneath the dash barely holding to the dash and resembling straw as it’s so fragile and sagging. For me with a 3 year /60000 mile warranty Suzuki is spared in our case the pain of recurring more serious issues (oil leak). Our Hyundai has nearly triple the miles and a 5 year warranty with only one minor issue. Unfortunately cheap is cheap in the case of the SUZUKI. We will replace with another Hyundai/Kia derivative probably second hand but still more warranty cover than the much newer Suzuki. In summary nice looking comfortable and economic to run car let down by an obvious cheapness and some glaring gaps in quality. Disappointing.
