2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara EX 4WD 4dr SUV (2.5L 6cyl 4A)
Review
After owning a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick, I was very pleased with the quality and capabilities of the Suzuki SUVs. My Sidekick, which I refuse to sell now serves as my daily driver and offroad trail vehicle (extensively modified). The Grand Vitara took the sidekick platform and made an already great vehicle that much greater. A more plush ride, major interior improvements and amenities, as well as a highly upgraded engine all make the Grand Vitara awesome. There are a plethora of other Mini SUVs out there. What you won't find on about 80% of the others is a true 4x4 (not AWD), a low range transfer case, and a body of frame. If your travel offroad, get the Grand Vitara.

Review
This vehicle is absolutely perferct for me. The ride is nice, Suzuki does a great job of telling you that this vehicle as they put it "Ruggedly Sporty" which is exactly what it is. Love the handle, lots of great features for the price.
Favorite Features
Quiet, smooth engine, love the 7yr/100,000 engine warranty that came at no extra charge. The steering controls for the CD player and Radio, the cup holders, 5 all together. Power Sunroof, 4WD, Alloy Wheels, Power windows, locks, side mirror defrost, fog lights, hard spare cover.
Suggested Improvements
Interior gas tank door opener. Power antenna, Power driver's seat (at least), few more rear lights. Power seal sensor, allowing all power options to operate before seal is broken (door opens). Otherwise it's a great nice vehicle!

Review
This is my second Grand Vitara. I had a 2000 that I just traded in for this car. I think this is a nice SUV for a lady.
Favorite Features
I like the way the rear door opens. It opens outward instead of upwards as most SUV's
Suggested Improvements
The only thing I had problems with is the wheel alinment. I purchase a warranty for a lifetime service, because I was always needing an aliment. The bad roads on the CA freeways, didn't help much either

Review
My Grand "Viagra" is fabulously fun to drive. I always used to say that a car is simply a box on 4 wheels that gets me where I am going. But this little dynamo is so much more! I really love this car...it's my baby. Fun to drive, great stereo, great visibility, manuverable too. It did herculean work during my recent house refurb and cleaned up great afterwards. I would have been dead in the water without it.
Favorite Features
Styling, moon roof, roof rack, stereo, visibility, size, parkability and extras. Love sittin' up a litle higher than everyone else.
Suggested Improvements
Fuel mileage is only 20 mpg. Just can't seem to squeeze out any more and I coast a lot!

2004 Suzuki Grand Vitara LX 4WD 4dr SUV (2.5L 6cyl 5M)
Review
I purchased this vehicle mostly because I was able to get so much better deal than a honda, which i actually wanted. I have to say now, after putting 20000 miles on it in the last 6 months, I have never had a car I looked forward to driving as much as this one. I will buy another one of these, i can assure you of that. Oh, there might be some little things here and there I might change, but this is undoubtedly the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. Surely, this must be the best if not one of the best buys for the money available.
Favorite Features
Comfort while driving.
Suggested Improvements
Might add some more room in the rear.
