Diabolical in the wet with oversize tyres.

Heavy, unresponsive acceleration and a fuel consumption that is scary.

Living with it
Reliability
Boring until it fails - then its a biggy!
Image
Typical school run 4X4.
Comfort
Adequate.

Security and Service
Security
Awful. The rear door only needs a screwdriver to the lock and you're in.
Service
Over priced and Suzuki themselves have no interest in after sales care provided by their main dealers.
