Suzuki Grand Vitara (2005 - 2014) 1.9 DDiS 5d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

This car says I'm fed up of boring family hatchbacks and want some fun!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone likes it. The styling is one of its best attributes.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably. I would like to see a few more toys on the standard kit list and the doors seals need improvement but if this is sorted, the car does everything I need so I don't see why not.

What are you likely to buy next?

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£15,500

When did you buy the car?

April 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Best value 4x4 on a 3 year lease

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Good fun to drive. The handling is superb, the acceleration is adequate and the mid range power makes overtaking easy. The ride is quite firm but does not affect the handling or comfort when cruising on the motorway. Will cruise happily at 90mph (where permitted) all day long.

What's it like to park?

The steering is light and visibility is good through the front and adequate from the back making parking nice and easy.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Everything is working as it should but the door seals are not very effective and the cabin got wet whilst driving through the June floods whilst other 4x4's stayed dry!

What's most practical about your car?

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
