Used 2002 Suzuki XL-7 Consumer Reviews
on to alaska
traded a chev astro van for this one because i wanted a 4x4 for my trip to alaska.- read more reviews than i can remember, but this car is true to them.- for now have been using it on the back roads of Baja Calif and no complaints.- Expect the gas milage to improve as the engine settles down.- my two fulled sized dogs ( boxers) love it.- the trunk holds all my camping gear and with the side opening door it's easy to get to.- What I really like is its is not rounded like the other midsize suvs.- its lines are straight and sleek and it doesn't look oversized.-
A Bargain SUV!
It's a delight to drive. Takes curves and turns crisply with no front end plowing. Power train excellent with added horsepower. Gas mileage advertised at 18-20 mpg, but at less than 1,000 miles on the odometer we've been averaging 22 mpg driving city and mountain Haleakala National Park). The 3rd row passenger seating was one of the selling points and though a bit tight, it's handy in a pinch (no pun intended) for carrying our visiting friends on Maui. We like the keyless entry where on click opens only the driver's door and two clicks, all other doors. We are extremely satisfied with our purchase.

Great Value and Seven Passengers
Three rows, value pricing, good acceleration, 4 wheel drive, leather seats . . We're very happy with the purchase thus far.
Exceeding Happy
We bought this vehicle for the express purpose of using it to tour the U.S. (and be able to go anyway) when we retired, and knowing the third seat will be down 99% of the time. Have had the vehicle 18 months now, with only required maintenance done on it and regularly get 20-21 mpg. This is one vehicle I have no problem recommeding to others.
Good looking and inexpensive SUV
Overall My wife and I are pleased with our XL-7. It handles well and has good pickup for a smaller V-6. We enjoy the CD player, and the A/C works well. I would like to have seen a few more upgrades ,such as a low fuel warning light, door ajar lights (especially since we have a small child), and a power lock switch on the passenger side door. The third rear seat is nice despite that it really only seats children or short adults! We got a good deal on it, especially with the zero interest financing for 5 years. The only problem so far has been the front disc brakes squealing from time to time. We have had them fixed once, but the problem has since reoccured.
