Mostly for me. The older boy has no interest in learning stick (yes, I had his DNA checked).

What it comes down to is my commute is short, but gas prices are on the rise, and the Cruiser of Land sucks down gas like the Missouri in a high sea.

Also, I kind of miss smaller cars. and its only $2000. Most of the reported problems with SX4s are about the automatic.

Gotta love when sellers are willing to trade for chainsaws or guns.

Yeah, except I'm not willing to trade any of my guns for it. They're either worth too much or too little.

Did you buy this? The only problem is parts on these cars can get a bit scarce since it's not shared with much else and Suzuki no longer exists here.

It was sold the day before I was going to see it.

Some kids now have no interest in driving.  I find that unfathomable.  I think learning to drive a stick forces a person to be a better driver so I think it's a good thing.  I learned to drive a stick first for ine simple reason - it was the car that was available.  I would have done whatever was required to get behind the wheel of something.
