2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
Decent back and forth to work vehicle, in many types of weather, buts that's it! Looks good, but I'm very dissappointed in fuel mileage and the shift points in the transmission. The dealer says there is nothing wrong with it. Well you travel 460 km's (round trip approx 920 ) and spend 500 dollars in gas (497) this is ridiculous! Hauling a single axle aluminum snowmobile trailer with 2 atv's which weigh 525 lbs and 402lbs, trailer might weigh in around 400 lbs. This thing is being sold. My old Ford pick-up would get better gas mileage . Very dissappointed, however make sure when you ask about towing small trailers before you buy.

Engine and transmission that will do what the dealer claims it will do!

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4dr SUV 4WD (2.7L 6cyl 5M)
Review
Been a great truck for the blend of offroad and street driving we do. Tows our boat pretty well and does very well offroad compared to others cars in the same category I've driven. But it does ride a little more rough than say a RAV4 but it's a fair trade for more capability. The 4-mode 4wd system is pretty nice.
Favorite Features
Interior is so roomy. My wife 6'1" and I'm 6'7" and we fit very comfortably. All the controls are easy to find an use. The side opening rear door is awesome. No more wrecking my head on rising gates! Price! Brand new, out the door for $16,200
Suggested Improvements
Could use some more power. Needs an inch or 2 more ground clearance. Biggest thing- the rear seats should be removable. There is tons of room, but without being able to take the seats out, it's kind of a bummer.

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
Very nice compact SUV. Looks better than most of it's competitors and it also has better performance as well as more amenities than it's competitors. Handles better than a car. Very fun to drive. It can be used for towing as well as for off-roading. This small SUV is capable of taking you almost everywhere you take it. My rating for this SUV is 8/10.
Favorite Features
Nice Pioneer 6 speaker radio with 180w subwoofer. Keyless entry and starting system. 185hp V6 engine. Automatic climate control. Electronic stability control/traction control/ brake-force distribution/ABS brakes. Very comfortable seats.
Suggested Improvements
Needs to have better quality interior plastics they tend to scratch very easily. Offer a stronger engine with better gas mileage (220 hp 3.0L 18/24mpg engine perhaps). Current engine is only 185hp 2.7L which is good but mpg is an average 17/22 mpg. Also please include a Compass as well as rear A/C.

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara Luxury 4dr SUV 4WD (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
I recently bought my GV and I love it. Lot of car for the money. Everything I wanted in a car, leather, sunroof, heated seats, mp3, alloy wheels, good looking. I came across it on online and took for test drive. Needless to say I liked what I saw. Gas mileage coud be better. Factory speakers fall short but who keeps factory? Like the AWD. Comfortable seats. Needs locking gas door and lighted visor mirrors. Every time I go to my car I love the look of it. I would never have thought Suzuki for a car but I'm extremely glad I stumbled upon it on the dealer website. All around great car for the money.
Favorite Features
Styling, steering wheel audio controls and 6 disc mp3/cd player, quality of interior/leather/worksmanship. 17in alloy wheels, handling, AWD.
Suggested Improvements
Locking gas door, better speakers, Subwoofer is a joke, illuminated vanity mirrors (how did they miss that?). Fuel mileage a little lacking but isn't broken in yet with 7700 miles on it.

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport 4dr SUV 4WD (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
This vehicle is fun to drive and although it could use better gearing, it does handle very nicely around curves and in the city. Love the real time 4x4. Improve gearing could also improve performance during highway driving. Gas mileage is the worst feature. After almost six months of driving, I have not been able to get more than 20.8 mpg. Built quality and seating comfort are both extremely good, much better than its bigger brother the XL-7. If it were not for the gas mileage, this would be a great commute vehicle.
Favorite Features
Comfort, turning radius, built quality, real time 4x4, looks, steering wheel cruise & radio/CD controls
Suggested Improvements
Better fuel economy, better trans gear ratio, a bit more hp power, better quality tires

2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4dr SUV 4WD (2.7L 6cyl 5A)
Review
All in all it's a good vehicle. Gas mileage could be a little better. The tires do roar some due to the brand, Yokahoma. But so far I am impressed. I've never had a Suzuki but glad I went with the Grand Vitara. I was impressed enough with Suzuki I went out and got a Reno.
Favorite Features
Comfort, drivability and the color/style makes it look great. It also has a sturdy safe feel.
Suggested Improvements
They need to put ashtrays and lighters for people who smoke.

Review
I got our 2007 GV Lux 4WD auto last Jan as a second 4WD vehicle in the family for my wife. She and I love it. Great car, no doubt, very comfortable for family of 4 (two kids: 5months and 16 y/o). Loaded with everything you could ever want. Quality is much better than in Toyota Rav4. 4WD is impressive, CRV or other cant stay close. Just be careful with stock tires Yakohama, they are too bad in winter!
Favorite Features
Smart pass key and keyless engine start.
Suggested Improvements
Must have HID headlights with pressure washers as everywhere in the world, better running boards like in japan or europe, lilbit better gas mileage cuz im getting 24 in town, better tires like Bridgestone, not Yakohama

Review
I have enjoyed the last year with my new Grand Vitara. It looks appealing to the eye and has an atractive interior. The heating and cooling system are very good. The interior is very functional. Also, the lights are great. The safety features are outstanding! Overall, in my first year of ownership, I have become a fan of the Suzuki brand.
Favorite Features
Looks, performance, safety features, lights
Suggested Improvements
More interior lights on the armrest

Review
I traded my 2000 Grand Vitara in for the 2007 4WD sport model, and have had it 7 months an I love it! It is a nice ride, and it feels safe and sturdy. I have had comments from backseat passengers how much room they have and how comfortable it is. Plenty of storage room behing the rear seat for groceries, luggage, etc. It is great in the snow, rear end does not slide like the 2000 model. My husband tried to do a "donut" in a parking lot to see what it would do, and the ESP kicked in, the gas cut off, and the car wouldn't let him do it! Love my sunroof, 6 CD changer, and Smart pass key. Just a great car in general.
Favorite Features
6CD changer, Smart Key, 2 position sunroof.
Suggested Improvements
The hard tire cover is flimsy- starting to make a rattle while driving-could be sturdier. Locking gas cap and locking glove box. The XL-7 model has a removable cup holder for cleaning- that would be nice to add to this one too.

Review
So far this GV fully loaded with leather is a great deal for the canadian market. Has great handling and is less noisy. Very comfortable and smooth. A little more gas for now but it still is not broken in. It will be on course with my ex 2003 crv. Great on country roads.
Favorite Features
Comfort. Sound system. Noise level. spacious. Well built. Solid.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage could get better.
