After test driving several vehicles, the Suzuki stuck in my mind better than any other. The size, and agility were the most impressive. I have no problem downshifting to help pass on the highway. Around town is fun to drive too.

I bought my XL7 close to a year ago and its the best car that I have ever driven! I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee before this car so I wasn't sure how I was going to like the AWD compared to the 4 wheel drive but it handles really well. I have never worried about getting places and I've driven in pretty deep snow drifts. My husband has to keep reminding me about the speed limit because this car just wants to go! The ride is comfortable and my Grandma likes it because its easy for her to get in and out. I wish Suzuki would keep making these because I would buy this car over and over again!

I knew I had to have the XL7 as soon as my husband and I test drove it!! I love the room it has inside. The third row is so convenient. The storage is great and it rides really good. My daughter even loves it! Not too big and not too small. Perfect size for the three of us. Had no trouble out of it so far. I LOVE my XL7!

I’m a new driver and I needed a reliable SUV with AWD to be able to survive an upstate New York winter, since I attend college there, so me and my family did some searching around. We came across an ‘08 XL7 with about 130k miles on it going for $4,000 and were kinda doubtful because of the high mileage. But my dad took it for a test drive and it was, in his words, “the best car on the lot.” He bought it and I finally drove it the next month after arriving home for winter break (and even after a month of not doing much it still felt great). It was such a smooth ride and it was quieter than what I expected from a V6. Maintenance isn’t super expensive on it which is perfect for my family’s financial situation, and other than a faulty alarm system where my remotes won’t work even though the batteries and circuit boards inside are fine (I’m sure this is a problem exclusive to my car so don’t let this ruin your first impression), it’s perfect for a first car. If you see one, don’t pass up the chance to test drive it – or dare I say – to buy it.

Nightmare

Nightmare from day one! On the way home after purchase shimmy in the front brakes. Had to true rotors. Transfer case and left axle seals leaking. A/c quit had to replace havc head. Cd player quit had to replace radio/cd unit. Driver door was sticking had to adjust. Horn quit had to replace. Wipers quit had to replace wiper control. Had mold coming out of air vents had to replace evap coil in the a/c. Esp and traction control quit working had to replace hydraulic control unit. My just found new problem is my tire pressure monitoring system. My rf reads as my rr and vice versa. This is my story! I can't use the lemon law because they are all different problems! All these nice reviews. Why me?
