Exterior

The SX4 is as cute as a button. As I gave it a good once-over, I had the urge to play with it as if it were one of my son’s toys! Our test car was a brilliant shade of White Water, which glistened gleefully against the snow. Despite its small size, the SX4 has tall windows for improved visibility, and they also added to its unique look. Its 16-inch tires fit the SX4 just perfectly.

I appreciated the size of the side-view mirrors, which are larger than some I’ve experienced on full-size SUVs. The rear wiper is convenient and adds that, “Oh, I wasn’t expecting that,” touch.

The SX4 I tested came with a black-accented crossover body kit. This added a sporty look to the crossover. The test car also had a rear skid plate, the point of which I couldn’t really see.
The SX4 is noticeably higher off the ground than the typical economy car, which is an added bonus for tackling tough terrain. The seating was a bit higher, too, which I liked because I hate feeling like my butt might be inches from pavement.
