Suzuki Grand Vitara 1.6 GV1600 Sport 3d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent. Used, you get a lot of car for your money.
Costs
Servicing is very reasonable, compared to other manufacturers. Fuel economy will never be comparable to a 2wd car, but mpg is similar to Freelander/ CRV/ RAV4 etc.

On the road
Driving
Very good around town and great driving position. Very easy to park. Quiet cabin on motorways, but 1.6 engine is a bit underpowered at 70mph.
Performance
1.6 is quicker than I expected in what is actually quite a heavy vehicle. Cornering ability is OK, but not as good as Freelander/ CRV.
