Suzuki Sx4 AWD...your opinions

I used to always think, "man what if I could get a Yaris with AWD??", because I know they make them overseas but they don't sell it here.
Low and behold I never knew about the Suzuki Sx4 AWD that is sold
here in the states. It's roughly the same size and has a crapload of
standard features along with a 3 setting AWD system that supposebly
is pretty stout, all for about $17,000 brand new.

I don't know much about Suzuki's quality nowadays but I used to have
a 1994 Geo Metro, which was made by Suzuki, and it was one of the
most reliable and toughest cars I ever owned. Sure, it was slow as hell
with a 1.0 litre 3 cylinder engine but it never ever left me stranded and
gas mileage was pheonomenal with the 5spd in it.

Anyone own one of these Sx4's or have experience with them? I've looked
at alot of the videos of them on Youtube and the AWD definitely seems
like it lives up to those of a higher caliber such as Subaru but for alot cheaper price. And for $17,000 fully loaded including a detachable navigation...kind of makes me wish I knew about it before buying the Yaris so I could have compared the two.
