2008 | 4dr Sedan 143-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Interior and cargo space are roomy for a compact car. Lots of head & leg room for front and back seats. Easy to get in and out of front seats. Trunk is big. For a small car that's easy to park there's plenty of interior space. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

2010 | 4dr Hatch 150-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed manual 4WD |
Very little room for driver and passengers. Driver is almost touching windshield by a forehead. A small leg room too especially for driver and rear passengers. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

I will say the rear seat was fairly comfortable although my hair was brushing up against the ceiling. Impossible to put 4 people in this car comfortably. see full Suzuki SX4 review |

2006 | 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Lots of room in the backs seat, and actually decent 3rd row seating for the kids. Kills the cargo area though. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review |

Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review |
