Used 2006 Suzuki XL-7 Consumer Reviews
THEY SASTIFIED ALL MY NEEDS
THE XL7 GIVES ME EVERYTHING I NEED IN A 7 PASSENGER SUV. IT FITS IN MY 1 CAR GARAGE, IS EASY TO DRIVE AND PARK. GIVES MY FAMILY THE PROTECTION I WAS LOOKING FOR WITH THE FULL LADDER FRAME, SIDE IMPACT BEAMS IN THE DOORS. MY WIFE LOVES THE STYLING.
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.

Never again
I drive for a living and the 2006 Suzuki XL-7 has the worst driver's seat, as far as comfort goes. The senor for the passaeger airbag goes out everytime someone over 250 lbs. sits in the seats.
Suzuki XL-7 - the best kept secret in US
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.
First three months
We bought the car in 2007 and got an end of year discount on this 2006. The 2007 is bigger with larger engine and built in Canada. But this 2006 is the last import to Canada still made 100% in Japan. True the 2006 is less spacious than the 2007, but the 2006 seems to be built more solidly and has better standard features. Just came back from 1000 km trip. The highway mileage was pretty good, better than expected considering still in break-in period. We haven't used all seven seatings, but had six people several times and smallish adults in the third seat row had no complaints.
