Does the Suzuki SX4 have a chain cam or belt?
I am thinking of buying a 2008 Suzuki SX4 1.6 petrol. Does it have a chain cam or belt? Is there anything else I should watch out for?

Chain cam. Same 1.6 engine, but vastly improved from 2010. Original road test here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-sx4-.../ Everything else, including problem areas, here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/suzuki/sx4-2006/
