Took it offroad - coped well with steep, rough track and slippery conditions. Snow is not a problem either. it was great when I was asked to drive in front of some cars that had got into trouble in the snow so they could drive out in my tracks. :-D
Was expecting to pay a lot more for 4 wheel drive with fewer features, so I am happy.
Everything I wanted is there + I did not even know about proximity keys and this is a boon when I am carrying a ton of stuff.
Better than my work vehicles, subaru and xtrail. Seeing I do mostly mountain driving in snow, ice or rain it seems to be ok. 9.4/l00k
My old car was much lower. Lots of trucks on our roads and they spray up a lot of gunk, blinding me especially if two or three passed together. This is not an issue with the extra height in the SX4. I have never had such good visibility in a vehicle.
