It’s nifty, and it’s thrifty. But the four-cylinder “leaf-blowerish engine” may moan a bit when you press on the pedal. While the SX4 is no “miracle of styling and engineering,” the 31 miles per highway gallon makes it easier to thumb your nose “at swankier wheels.” Lots of practical stuff comes standard—six air bags, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, a pressure monitoring system, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
