Run away
Was a great mid suv for the price , loved it , until 60 mile then $7000 in repairs later and might as well have bought a Toyota . Note.. a lot of the parts are cheveys not Suzuki !!!!! So in order of problems starter motor, fuel cap caused lots of error codes, timing chain had to be replaced, both catalytic converters, water pump. all from 60 mile to 100 miles ... now at 118 miles heater is sometimes working !!! and the list keeps growing . Stuck with it till dies now . Drives really well lol

Beyond my expectations!
My little engine that could has 184k and is still purring. I purchased it with 20k miles and all I've ever done was change the oil, tires, and brakes. It's a GREAT engine and has plenty of interior space for two labs, a child, camping gear, and two adults, not to mention enough power to pull a small boat! Safety features are great, cabin noise is low, mpg is bad, entertainment system is great, back seat is comfortable for kids, handles like a car but roomy like an SUV.

It was a Lemon!
Believe every bad review you read they are all True. I bought the XL7 with 115,000 miles on it, drove it for 2 months and its been in the shop for 7 months. Just found out it needs a new engine, and the cost will be $4300. I loved the look and the room, but this car is a money pit.

Very Nice Car for a Road Warrior
I love the XL-7. I was the first one in the country to own a new one. I crashed my old 2003 XL-7. I went looking for a new vehicle and could not find anything as big with all the features for under $30,000. I purchased the luxury model. It has three rows of seats, side airbags, all wheel drive, leather, heated front seats, and a DVD system for the kids. The DVD system plays MP3's, that's over 1000 songs per DVD. Also, it's a dual mode system. That means that the kids can watch a movie and I can listen to my radio. This truck's cons include the lack of heated mirrors. My 2003 XL-7 had them and the Grand Vitara has them. This is a nice feature when driving. Also, it has no Sirius radio, factory system has XM and no converter. The only saving grace is a front auxiliary input.
2007 Suzuki XL 7
When we bought this car in January, 1009 we thought we hit the jackpot. It had everything leather heated seats, remote start, entertainment center, etc. About October, 2010 the check engine light came on wanting the gas cap tightened which we decided to change thinking the cap was wore out. It kept going off and coming back on. In November, 2010 on a trip in the rain we experienced the traction and stability control shut off. Before it was said and done we had to have the timing gear and chain replaced and the steering and pinion rack. 2 months later here we are trading vehicles because the timing chain needs to be replaced again and 2 different dealers are giving us attitude about it.
