The SX4 sedan is a stylish option for those who are tired of the usual Honda/Mazda/Toyota triplets. Using a 143-hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, five-speed manual transmission or four-speed automatic, this agile, sporty and attractive sedan is an underdog in its highly competitive class. The Sport adds bigger wheels, stiffer suspension and quite a few interior features. Fuel mileage is good too.

 

Pros

Attractive option against usual suspects

Cons

Could use more power
