In the XL7, I got the small SUV I wanted and we still have 7 seats for emergencies, although you do have to adjust the 2nd and 3rd row just right to make everyone comfy.The XL7 is on a sturdy truck frame and has a real and simple manual 4wd system.The engine is not a power dynamo but adequate and very smooth with the liquid filled engine mounts and 32 valve config.The engine using a timing chain instead of a belt also appealed to me. Gas mileage is better than expected, getting 22-23 on the open road and 18-19 in city driving.It is simple and practicle in engineering and design but comes with a host of standard features.

I checked out a few SUV's including the Isuzu Trooper, Honda Pilot, Isuzu Rodeo, Toyota Highlander, Ford Escape and many others. I finally ended up with the XL-7 Limited. For the money, this SUV is great. The leather is supple, the front dash looks very nice. The wooden trims combined with chrome accents give the interior a very expensive look. I especially like the part where the front cup holders and space are completely covered with the same interior color plastic. The self illuminous dash light is very easy to read during the day or night. More engine power, power seats and 2'nd 3'rd row shoulder to shoulder seating space need to be enhanced/added.

I was a skeptic of buying foreign vehicles, but the Suzuki XL-7 has won me over. This vehicle is fun to drive, handles well and is very reliable.

I was pleasantly surprised with the XL- 7. I was in the market for something bigger for my growing family (previous car 2000 Camry, another EXCELLENT car). I was interested in 3rd row SUVs, but didn't think we could afford one. Heard a radio ad for the XL-7 and decided to check it out even though I was not a big fan of Suzuki. Was very surprised by the smooth ride (husband owns Isuzu Rodeo--ROUGH ride) and the luxurious look and feel of the interior and exterior. Very well loaded for a total price of @ 22K. Gas mileage (main concern for an SUV) is not as bad as you would expect either.
