Suzuki Vitara JX 3d (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Price is over-inflated.
Costs
Petrol is enormously expensive - this jeep guzzles fuel! The rear door handle is really flimsy and had to be replaced as it cracked. The hand brake ratched also went. Parts were expensive.

On the road
Driving
The upright, high driving position gives great visibility.
Performance
Very poor, especially from a stand-still. Overtaking also very laborious - there's no zip to this car.
-
Living with it
Reliability
In two years it has never given a moment's trouble.
Image
Despite the fading bodywork, it's aging well.
Comfort
Not built for travelling long distances - seats are quite hard and there's very little legroom in the back.

Security and Service
Security
No central locking - consequently I have locked myself out several times.
