Hi,
When my wife needed replacement run about, she narowed down to Impreza
Wagon and Suzuki SX4, both fully loaded. She dediced on Suzuki. My
family drives AWD vehicles always. For some reason she liked Suzuki
better. I had it undercoated which made the ride much quieter. City
driving gives ~10 Km/liter. B4, she had Mitsu mini wagon(LRV, 2.4L, AWD)

My '07 Forester came with color coordinated factory undercoating.
