Well, looking at selling my little DD Smart car and getting an SX4.
The Smart is great on Diesel and good for the 'other' car for a family of 3, but a niece moved in and now we're a family of 4.

I have a 2 door Tracker/Vitara on 33's.  So I've been on other parts of this forum for diff swap info and such.  Don't see nearly as many posts in this section and the others.

The SX4 seem's a better buy the the Subaru Impreza.  I did read that there's a bit of cabin noise, but all around good car.

I guess I should ask now.  What bolt pattern is the car?  I will need Snow tires as I live in the snow belt part of Southern Ontario.  Any chance of fitting a little bit larger tire?
What is the towing capacity.  I know not much, but what 1k or 2k lb's??
