AWD! 2011 Suzuki SX4 6 speed manual build thread
 

Needed an AWD car with decent ground clearance, wanted decent fuel economy and manual, got this; 6 speed manual, 2.0 vvt i4, about 2850lbs, and an AWD system that can be switched to fwd only via a switch in the center console. Has an instantaneous​ and average mpg readout on the dash, cool stuff! Ordered racing disks already :D didn't try hard to get mpg on the drive home even had the ac on and mid 30's on the indicator! Goal is 40mpg 90 day average, shouldn't be hard!

I always thought those Suzukis were cool.

I like them too, was one my last choices when I got my Cobalt, decided I'd just stay home if FWD won't get me to work and take the better MPG. I'll be curious to see how well you can do.

I don't remember to have ever seen the 4WD one with a manual transmission.

All years had the option of a manual, 2007-09 was 5 speed, 2010 on was 6 speed, it runs about 2000rpms at 50mph. In other news I'm finding out eoc is easier than I thought, very seamless bump starts! :thumbup:

Not really a noticable weight savings or aero benefit, but I removed the side impact strips, looks a lot better! I get my racing disks tomorrow!

Love the little Suzukis. I had a 96 Esteem sedan that sometimes got below 40 mpg, driving it like I stole it. A wagon, and AWD when you want it? That's awesome!

It actually doesn't look so bad with those moon caps. What have you used to keep them in place?

I kinda cheated, they are actual racing disks, so they fit on like regular hubcaps
