Used 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara Consumer Reviews

Awesome

No Your Average Little Cute-ute

The Suzuki Grand Vitara is no comparison with the Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4. When choosing to buy a small SUV, the GV was my only choice. After reading critics praising the Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4, it never changed my mind on buying the GV over the other two. The shift on the fly 4X4 with hi/low makes the GV more versatile the both the CRV and RAV4. The exterior is masculine and the interior is just right. The V6 155 hp engine is quiet and smooth. If you want a grocery getter, buy a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4... If you want a rugged 4x4 that has confidence to play with the big boys, buy a Suzuki Grand Vitara..

301,000 MILES GREAT LITTLE SUV!

I purchased it with 155,000 miles. Has minor oil leaks, have to top it off occasionally. I live in Colorado and I see many other Grand Vitaras of the same model and year still on the road. True body on frame 4WD. Something to be said about vehicles assembled in Japan. God willing I will get another 100K miles on her. Great little SUV!

Gas mileage

It eats more fuel than a logging truck

Best Damn Little SUV on the Road

Our Suzuki Grand Vatara has never had a warranty claim. Tires and brakes are the only extra maintance given to this Bullet Proof little Bulldog other than normal checks. My wife wanted a 4 door, Suv, Straight Stick sports car with a sun roof and Leather. She said, "No sidewinders please." The CV joints on her old Honda cost$750.00 replace, no more of that.
