"I love this car. It's been a great car."

would but another one if there was a dealership in town. Best car I have had in a SUV, loved everything about it. Having multiple CD player is the only way, I am not into MP3.

Critical Review

"Look elsewhere"

When I first purchased this vehicle 4yrs ago I really loved it but it didn't take long for me to realize that I was gonna be at the service dept. every other month. My hood latch broke in the first month I had it, My headlights alternated every other month on going out even after the dealer replaced the holding units due to faulty manufacturing. the interior lights never worked properly and when the battery left me sitting at the grocery store I had to have it serviced because it wouldn't run right until the brain of the car was reset and it was quite costly. Plus at the end of owning it , the vehicle it started having an oil leak even though I always had my oil changed and car serviced as recommended. I prayed for 2yrs until I could finally trade it!

10/10 would recommend

Some people say that she's a bit of a bumpier ride in reviews. I don't notice that. Pros: Reliable, not expensive for parts. Quite advanced for being a 2007. AC/Heat still work incredibly well after so many years. Mine has heated seats. Cons: Parts can be hard to come by as she is no longer manufactured in North America. My mechanic finds parts either online or by calling a car wreck yard. Uses a bit more gas because she is a V6. I use a key to open my gas tank. I should get a copy made... PROS. I feel really cool using a key. People have told me that it's ancient. She is creeping up on 20 years old which speaks volumes about her. I bought her with 155,000km (96,000 miles). Very reasonable price, huge value for money. I would buy another one in the future if needed. Listed mileage in posting is converted to miles.

Suzuki Grand Vitara

Here we are 2023, still driving my 2006 Grand Vitara. One of the BEST cars I’ve ever owned. I only wish I was the original owner. I bought it used in 2011. Only minor repairs. ❤️

Pros

All

Cons

Stopped importing to Canada

This car SUV is tough as nails! Tows a 2500lb trailer no problems strong but steady!! Oil changes at 5000kms is the key for longevity!! That’s cheaper than a new engine in the long run!!! Japanese made Quality!! Can’t say enough about this car,,, looking for another one used as Suzuki stopped importing in 2014

Best car I ever owned
Pros

Very reliable car, nice and powerful

I got this car used and it has been the best car I have owned. The only none maintenance thing I had to fix in the 4 years I have had it was the valve cover gasket. The car runs great and everything works like its supposto.

Best vehicle I've ever owned
Pros

Very reliable

Cons

Gas mileage about 21 or 22 doesn't seem to matter

I've owned it since it was new. Very few repairs. It does burn out a lot of headlights. Engine and transmission are untouched. Even the muffler and shocks are original. Usual stuff like brakes belt. You name it it probably hasn't been worked on.
