The oil filter is in a cramped area , looks to be messy and a pain in the butt . How often do you change the spark plugs and antifreeze ? Think it's supposed to be every 35,000 miles or so . Wonder if you could use a long life coolant ( like that of the YARIS ) and replace the plugs with NGK / DENSO platinum or iridium spark plugs ? Reminds us of the EAGLE Summit ( Mitsubishi Expo ) of many years ago .

I was looking at the first picture and kept saying to myself, "That looks familiar..."

It looks like a new version of a Dodge/Plymouth Colt Vista (Eagle Summit, Mitsubishi Summit, etc...)!

I had one of those, too. A 1992 Mitsubishi Expo LRV. Mine was the FWD version, not AWD.

And FYI, the oil filter on the 2010+ SX4 is a pain in the ass to change. I've done it once, need to do it again soon.
