Love it
We traded my wife's Murano for the GV, she wanted something smaller. We spent 3 months researching every small SUV on the market. Test drive and features sold us. This is a great suv and a great value. Handeling is marvelous, and the ride is solid. Could use a tad more power. Smart key took some getting used to, but love it now. Everything about this little truck rocks. I want to drive it, and leave my Lincoln in the garage!
A beast in the snow!
I love my GV! Great ground clearance and great turning radius! I have put this GV through many of the same demanding trails/mud/snow that I did when I previously owned a wrangler. This little 4x4 is more capable than most will need it for. Even the cargo space with the seats tumbled forward in back is great, I got a king size lazy boy recliner in there (with the back of the chair off and laying on top of the seat) without it even being tight. The proximity key is great for winter with not having to remove your gloves to get your keys, just keep it in your pocket. I had to custom fit roof racks for my GV as I couldn't find any that fit, a sawsall helped shorten the width on some other ones I found online and now fit great. Overall I would recommend this little suv, it has been problem free and a joy to drive.

NICE TRUCK
We have this truck about 4 months and it is pretty nice. We have the Luxury model with all the bells and whistles.
Cute compact SUV not so cute gas mileage
I love everything about my Grand Vitara except for the lousy gas mileage. I only get 14-15 MPG in town. Other compact SUVs are far superior in this area. If gas mileage is a primary concern a Rav4, Vue or CR-V would be a better choice.
Awesome for the field
I bought the SGV for its "bring-it-on" performance and it delivers. Nothing can match the looks and the 4-mode drive-- having AWD and low range-is awesome. The SGV is at home in the city or for light off-roading. Its handling, build, safety, fit and finish are at a par with its closest competitors.
