They only had two; silver and orange -- both automatic.
I traded in a 2002 New Beetle Turbo S, which I'd only had for a few months.
I had a 95 sidekick for six years and it ran like an absolute champ.
I wanted to get out of driving a stick, and I wanted something my dog could get in and out of so I was looking at the Vibe, Caliber, Matrix.. and for the money AND just as far as the styling of the car I liked the SX4 much better. I paid sticker for it and a $499 "dealer fee"? They offered me what I thought was 2K too low on my trade and I was prepared to keep shopping but they agreed to meet me halfway. I may have been able to get a better "deal" -- who knows. I'm happy though.
Plan to get my windows tinted within the next couple of weeks and I'm toying with the idea of putting in leather -- maybe not at first, but at some point.
I have to wait until tomorrow to take delivery of my baby because in California, the car needs to be smog-checked before I can take it onto public roads. In fact I only got to drive the car around the parking lot. (I had already test-driven the automatic one at a different dealership.) The dealer also has to do its own test drive by law (the car was just dropped off hours before).
I paid exacty MSRP for it -- $15,594 + fees. According to KBB, it's just $600 above invoice, which translates to 4.1% above invoice. Not bad for a car so hot (as far as supply vs. demand) that they have trouble keeping any in the lot! I expected them to insist on a dealer markup, just like any car in demand, but this really laid-back salesguy wrote down MSRP, enumerated the fees, and asked if it were OK. I demanded that they give me a free cargo net and an extra set of floor mats, but they told me I could only choose one. I chose the floor mats, worth $120.
I took advantage of the Suzuki's financing promotion for the month of September (9/1 - 10/2). I made it just under the wire! The rates were according to the credit score you have. I got into the best rates category, 1.9% over 36 months. The rest of the promotion was 0% for 24 months, and 2.9% for 48 months, etc. I didn't keep track of the longer terms' rates. I think they offered up to 72 months. Anyhow, this financing just ended today, but they have something every month, so you should ask.
I can't wait to pick it up! I will report back details soon.

Hee-hee...talk about a salesman's dream.
Want to buy a 2007 Suzuki SX4 and head up to some inclement weather areas of Arizona. Like Mt.Graham, for instance. It is a site of many a bloody battle with the Apache Chiricahua Indians for control of the Cochise County area there in SE Arizona. I'm truly living in the old Wild, Wild West and I want a rig that will be able to bop through a touch of inclement weather now and a then.
Something tells me they may even offer me the 0% interest rate still. Have to find out. Need the info.

That's interesting, because the sheet detailing the interest rates is from American Suzuki Financial Services, and it says "Eligible States: All states except Arkansas and Hawaii." I have the sheet scanned in PDF if you want me to email you a copy. It was called the "2007 MY ASMC PROMOTIONAL RETAIL PROGRAM." You may need to talk to the financing department for someone with a clue as to what's going on, especially if it's a low-volume dealer. They told me that the promotion changes every month, and may not necessarily extend to every model.

I have firmly placed the Suzuki SX4 on the top of my futures list for next car. It is way up in front of any other car model as my favorite and it's barely been out a month!
BTW-full sticker on these cars is a great deal. You did fine. I can't wait to snag my SX4! :P

I think $129.95 is a reasonable price and I have to have an armrest, too! It's not an option it's a necessity.

I wasn't that impressed with Gladstone Suzuki when I was looking for a Miata. They had a low mileage 91 that was outrageously priced. They didn't seem to understand how many low mileage Miata's are out there, relative to other cars. Of course they don't deal in Miata's much. I'll certainly give them a try.
I'm not sure I'd consider the SX4 better looking then the Mini, but I'd certainly prefer the reliability of Suzuki over Mini.
I think Bill Copps dropped their Suzuki franchise. Now its part of the Vancouver Auto Group. That's part of the problem with Suzuki. A lot of the Suzuki franchises have been dropped in the past couple of years, Carr, Copps, Suburban Auto Group. Makes me a bit leary about warranty service.
I'm assuming that Suzuki will also allow you to get your non-Warranty maintenance work done at the repair shop of your choosing. As long as you keep your receipts as you accumulate them to show that you had the work done and at the right time intervals.

Under this federal statute, a manufacturer, who issues a warranty on your motor vehicle, is prohibited from requiring you to use a particular brand of air filter, oil filter, or other service or maintenance item, unless such item is provided, free of charge, under your warranty or unless the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) waives this prohibition against the manufacturer.
The rules and regulations adopted by the FTC, to govern the interpretation and enforcement of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, are set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16 - Commercial Practices, Chapter I - Federal Trade Commission, Subchapter G - Rules, Regulations, Statements and Interpretations Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Part 700 - Interpretations Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Contained within these rules and regulations is Section 700.10
Suzuki, in some car classes, outsells Honda and Toyota in Japan. This should tell you something regarding how the Japanese perceive the quality of Japanese-built Suzukis.
As one who has worked in engineering for a manufacturer, companies who offer long warranties do so because they believe in the quality of their product. Otherwise, warranty claims would kill their profits. Thus, a long warranty generally implies quality, not the converse, as you imply.
So far, the SX4 is proving to be quite the value. Feels very sound and solid. While it does look a little nerdy to me, I was sold on the engineering, value and seemingly high quality of construction.
I bought the car from Ray Skillman Suzuki in Indianapolis. It was -- withougt doubt -- the most pleasant car buying experience I have ever experienced. At 39, I have owned more than 30 cars, with the Suzuki being my fifth new car purchase.

I am, but for a tad bit later down the road apiece.

Just look for the right price. The more I look at the 2007 Suzuki SX4 base model with optional armrest, 5-speeds and either Bright Red or Techno Blue Metallic or Orange paint, the more enthused I become.
Let's put it this way: I have the 2007 Kia Optima, I4, 5-speed in Ruby Red up there as my choice for a "large car entrant" for our next car and the SX4 as the small rig. Would probably choose the SX4 today. It will take a new rig from Kia, possibly their new Cee'd concept car to be put into production by the time our '01 Kia Sportage 4x4 with 124,093 miles gives out to sway me away from trading in for a Suzuki SX4. The car is small, yes, but I love small cars so it fits my bill exquisitely.
