[ifcar]

I'm driving this for a week. Anything I should specifically look to address?

4wd? Take it out on some snowmobile trails. Take pics/vids.

FWD.

Also, to my knowledge, D.C. doesn't have snowmobile trails.

Visibility. I've heard that the dual a-pillar can hinder visibility.

And since when did they start offering a FWD variant?

It does.

Since they needed to divert funds to make the Kizashi awesomer.

Or at least cut price. At a base price of 13K, it seems to be an attractive proposition.

On the bottom of the spec sheet you list Hyundai as the manufacturer.

Not that I noticed.

And since when did they start offering a FWD variant?

Since ever.

Not that I noticed.

Since ever.

Hatchback, and in the USA. For awhile, the hatch was AWD only. You could only get FWD in the sedan trims.

[93JC]

Well, it's universally known you guys suck.

Since the 2009 model year.

Fixed it, thanks. My template was last week's Tucson review.

He just needs a locker on that bitch.  Fuck 4wd.

FWD lockers are the shit. I'm going to weld up the Swift's spyder gears and see what's what.

Does Swift have the horses power to spin both wheels simultaneously?

It will light up both tires going into third gear.

I see you, Jake.

Navi -- how is it?

Small and hard to reach, but great graphics. I'll be sure to play with it more later.

[SVT666]

I see you, Jake.

I see you, Nick.

[the Teuton]

I don't want any of you seeing me.

All the basics would be nice iffy.

Interior fit and finish and quality. Highway noise levels. Handling and cornering duties. Acceleration. How much stuff can you shove into the boot.

[Laconian]

Handling. TTAC had extremely good things to say about the handling of the SX4, I want to see if you can corroborate that with your experiences.

1. Get more SX4's.
2. Acquire a matching number of Scion XD's.
3. Play soccer.

nothing like a good old East Coast vs. West Coast rivalry

We all know how this ended.

We all know how this ended.

...but imagine if we made them settle it on a soccer field with a Suzuki SX4 and Scion XD instead of guns...
