Welcome to the Den.
Good luck in your search.
These guys/gals here are great, you couldn't ask for a better community to be a part of.
When you find your SX/4 don't be afraid to introduce her & share pics, we LOVE pics here.


I am with Vangremlin, there seems to be an SX/4 bug going around and biting people cause they seem to be in demand right now... glad I got my dream sx when I did.
Lurker & unintentional thread killer.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called Cynicism by those who have not got it.
I am not now at my least, rather my most; not reduced, rather at my most complete.
Yes, I stand before you now, naked, unhidden, uncamouflaged and unafraid.
As pure and true as a human being is able to be.

This is what happens when someone sees a picture of one... Well, one without too many parts missing, anyway. The SX/4 kind of reminds me of the Rally Fighter, except that has RWD for reasons I don't understand.

The new car market is devoid of subcompact AWD/4WD cars at the sane end of the price range. It was rare and enlightened times that such things were made.

Yeah, no kidding.... I paid 16k for my WRX in july...  And as I found out the hard way, AWD doesn't make up for lack of ground clearance   ::)

Everyone wants an sx4, but there's only so many.  None ever seem to pop up, just the same ones pointed out over and over.  rollguys got one, one in Milwaukee, the one I was going for.  Not to many new finds out there.  Not to put the search down.  No way I'm giving up, and I hope everyone who wants one can get one.  You just may have to get creative.  Don't try to get one that's pristine, find one that's nice.  I'm coming to the conclusion that a bit of work is better than no car.  just don't go getting a project car if you expect something simple. (something I've been told a bit) 
I hope you find a nice one! :eagle:

Welcome

You come up with that IE? It could become catchy if I can figure out how to pronounce it.

haha, not sure if you know, but it's a real word.

Quote
Denizen may refer to:

An inhabitant of a place, or one who dwells in a place, whether local, regional or national.
A person with rights between those of a citizen and a resident alien
Free Negro, a non-slave black person in the United States, prior to the abolition of slavery

I find it clever nonetheless.  ;D

Yup, I borrowed the clever name for us from one of our members.  I like it, kind of goes with our tough, but loveable reputations.
