Suzuki Vitara 1.6 SZ-T 5d Owner Review

1.6 2wd Petrol. This car is really good value for money (i paid 13000 euro in Hungary) I wont say its the greatest car at everything because it is not but great value all-round for the price. I will focus more on parts of information I could not find before buying as most other reviews will cover all the other stuff. If you drive mostly in a 55 mph to 70 mph area it will perform at its best getting approx 50 + mpg is easy. Driving in the city center will be up around 35 mpg. On the highway up to 70 mph you will get 47 mpg on cruise control. On the highway up to 80 mph on cruise control will be 39 mpg. it doesn't change that much even at 90 mph. The car feels most comfortable around 70 mph over this the engine starts to get louder. All figures quoted are on the car speedometer which is out by +3 to 4 mph. I was regretting I did not get the automatic as I found the manual a bit tight at the start but now I am happy with it. Slightly regretting not getting the 4wd but I feel with the almost extra 200 kgs must make a big difference to fuel economy as I notice with more passengers and luggage it drops a lot. This car is ideal for a family with one child and want it to do everything. My favorite thing on this car is the speed limiter its a life saver in the city and villages.
