Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a car for long trips and occasional easy mountain trips, including some winding roads and light gravel roads. I’ve found a second-hand 2019 Suzuki SX4 S-Cross 4x4 1.4 Boosterjet, 140 HP, automatic with around 78,000 km (48.5k miles).

It seems to be well-equipped (Luxus trim), with features like a rear-view camera, parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and heated seats. The car looks good overall, but I’m still trying to find out more about the long-term reliability of this particular version.

Is there anyone here who owns or has owned this exact engine and gearbox combination? How reliable has it been, especially the automatic transmission? Are there any common issues or things I should pay particular attention to before buying one?

I’m mainly looking for something reliable, comfortable on longer journeys and spacious enough for two-three people and luggage.

Also how is this model for shorter drivers? I’m around 1.60 m (5'2") tall so good visibility and a comfortable driving position are quite important to me.

If you’ve owned one for several years, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience with maintenance costs, fuel consumption and any problems you’ve encountered.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks!
