2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover Hatchback Vs. Mini Cooper

OK so I took the bait and test drove the Suzuki yesterday. What a piece of crap this car is!
I went to the Mini dealer first and drove the S and the Cooper. I like the S better, but the Cooper is more in my price range.
I was really impressed with how the Mini handled and felt.
The I went and drove the Suzuki. OMG! What a difference from the ride, handling and brakes. No comparison - the Mini is a much sturdier, better handling car.
The mighter than a Mini is just a bold lie!

Eh. both cars are in different price ranges and classes. Just because they're both hatchbacks doesn't mean their direct competitors, lol.

Whoever is in charge of marketing at Suzuki needs to be fired because no one thinking about buying a Mini would even think about looking at one of these.

Personally I'd get a Mini for summer/spring driving and switch to the SX4 for the winter and fall. The two actually make better friends than enemies.

it's very cute, actually, for a car ad. it's almost a tribute to the mini in some ways -- like it's a super hero.

This is the dumbest commercial ever in history. Nobody in the market for a Mini anything would even slightly consider the SX4.

I don't understand why they are targeting the mini. They aren't even comparable cars. The mini is a car from BMW, which is much more of a luxury, high end brand. The price and performance of the SX4 put it a lot closer to cars like the nissan versa and the honda fit. It doesn't make sense to compare it to a much more high end car like the mini. The mini, in my opinion, is a much, much better car, so why not compare the SX4 to cars in its price range where it can actually compete?

:D if u do the same comparison with the Mini, the Mini would lose against all contenders in the same price range.

silly suzuki, Tricks are for MINI's =)
