What compact SUV can I buy for $10,000?

Your budget limits you to older models, around 2010-2012. One to look at is the Suzuki SX4; others are the Kia Sportage and Mitsubishi ASX.

What's a good replacement SUV for the Suzuki SX4 with off-road capabilities?

Most small SUVs are all-wheel drive, as is your SX4, which means it's an on-demand four-wheel drive system rather than a traditional one. If the SX4 does what you want you could try a Suzuki Grand Vitara, or a Nissan X-Trail.

Press car license plate rotation

There is nothing sinister or underhand here. Car companies rotate their plates on to their newest models to make life a little easier for their fleet administrators.

Best fuel efficient city car for off road?

The Suzuki is the best bet, by far. Avoid the older Audi, it's likely to be too costly in terms of service and repairs, the Impreza is a good car, so too is the Liberty, but the best is the Suzuki.

Should I stick to the recommended service intervals for SX4?

Servicing is very important to the health and longevity of any car, so I would tend to stick with the recommended service intervals, at least until the warranty runs out. After that I would go to annual servicing given that you'll only be doing 5000-6000 km per year.

Suzuki SX4 valuation

The retail price for such a car is between $10,000 and $14,000 depending on the model and condition. A front-wheel drive version will be towards the lower end of that range, an all-wheel drive version towards the upper end. I would want to pay around the $10,000 mark.
