2005 XL-7 - Purchase Date 10/05

For the past 12 years I've been driving minivans and I was NOT buying another one. I miss driving a car (pre- kids) and that is what I was hoping to buy. Unfortunately, at this time, that isn't practical. I need a vehicle large enough to cart my boys, their friends, sports equipment, and the dog around. I live in a remote area of NW New Jersey - it takes 20 minutes to get to the nearest grocery store - so I didn't want to buy a gas guzzling full size SUV. We have snowy winters and I love driving in the snow so 4x4 is required. The XL-7 was the answer. It provides all the features I need at a very reasonable price. It's fun to drive, good on gas, and the boys love the sound system. So far, so good.

For the money that I spent on my Suzuki XL-7, $19,000, I received great reliability and many options the more expensive models only have.

Good SUV But Needs Some Refinement

As one previous reviewer noted, the Suzuki XL7 is one of the best kept secrets in SUVs. I purchased mine fully loaded for almost $5K less than the sticker price. It is a very comfortable car to drive and hasn't given me any problems yet, but the engine is only adequate and gas mileage is poor. Some of the features on the XL7 leave a lot to be desired as well. You need an engineering degree to figure out how to fold down the center seat, and the steering wheel mounted auio controls are so inconvenient that it's easier to reach over to the radio.

cheap interior

My wife loves her's suv. But, the interior is so cheap. My wife bought the SUV while I was away in Iraq. I would have spend the extra the money and bought a nicer SUV. But, already we are having problems with the interior. We had to call Suzuski for 3 months to get the tech to approve the work on the car. finally the tech looked at the SUV to ok the interior. So, we could have the car fix. Yesterday, we found an problem with the interior.
