Used 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara Consumer Reviews
Traded in a Touareg
Much happier with the Grand Vitara XSport. Clearly the best of class. Tightest turning circle of any on the market. After 9 months, I love it.
In a different class
The Grand Vitara shouldn't be place in the same category as any other compact "S.U.V." because it is actually built with proper 4WD running gear. The GV is the only vehicle in this "class" that offers a strong body construction and low-range gearbox. When driving this car it feels a lot bigger than the RAV4. It might not drive like all the others in this class on the black top (car like) but off-road, the Suzuki has no competition.

Disappointed
At first loved this car. Disappointed at 15,000 miles needed new tires - Have 28,000 miles on and won't pass inspection - needs new brakes and left rear wheel bearing. Compared to my other cars in the past I never had this many problems at 28,000 miles. Tire pressure light constantly comes on. Very noisy when you turn the a/c on. Just feel this car was very cheaply made. Worried if my brakes and tires went this quick - what about the engine?
Not for towing
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.
The best in its class
Let me just say, if you own a TrailBlazer, you will definitely appreciate the Grand Vitara in every way. The stuff that Suzuki offers are real and useable. especially the brakes and the safety features. Everytime I drive this vehicle, I feel much safer than I am in TrailBlazer.
