Those seeking a combination of practicality and capability in a vehicle that’s easy to drive, easy to live with and doesn’t cost a fortune in gas should find the 2009 Grand Vitara well worth a look. The availability of the 4-Mode full-time four-wheel drive system adds even more all-season and on- and off-road appeal to the mix.
Buyers who demand a premium level interior with such options as navigation may be happier with the Honda CR-V. Those who expect a high resale value when it comes time to trade in their cars won’t be happy with the Grand Vitara’s middle-of-the-pack ranking.
