Used 2008 Suzuki XL7 Consumer Reviews
Having problems
Purchased XL7 June 09 for $14K with 23K & now have less than 39K miles. The vehicle is well maintained. So far, its been returned to dealer for repairs under warrenty to A/C not cooling & 2 door lock actuators not working. The tires began to wear, so I paid for new tires & alignment in April 2010, which I thought was to soon. On aug 15, 2010, I opened the back side door & the exterior door handle came off in my hand. I drove to the nearest Suzuki dealer & was told that it was not under warrenty. Called Suzuki of America & their Region Rep took a look at it & said that no "goodwill" would be provided. Suzuki needs honor their vehicles quality & repair the door handle at no cost to me.
sun roof leak
this car is great but I would never ever buy another Suzuki because the sun roof leaks all the time and the interior is soaked with water coming in all the lights overhead. Have had it to the dealer 5 times with no help. I am totally disgusted and will never buy another Suzuki product. I have talked to 8 other people with the same sun roof problem with no success.

My worst purchase ever
When I purchased this vehicle, I was not looking for an SUV. Due to the fact that there was a $5000 rebate, and I was promised by the dealership that "they" would furnish free tires for life as long as I owned the vehicle. Within the first two weeks of owning the car, the dealership closed, so all promises were off. At 55,000 miles, every light on the dash came on. The timing chain and a wheel barren had to be replaced. The lights continued to come on, they replaced a motor mount. There is an annoying constant noise in the steering, warranty does not cover this, and the front driver's side fender comes loose every time the car is driven. American Suzuki is not willing to buy the junk back.
Just bought stinky old one!
I LOVE THIS THING! Got it for $1500 with 137k miles on it. Upstate NY. TINY amount of rust. Owner was a smoking slob! STIIIINNNKY!! Will have it detailed in the spring. Feels tight, runs VERY strong. Afraid to open power sunroof right now. Dead of winter. Blower switch blows only high speed. Bought part. Hopefully fix when warmer out. Heated seats work! Radio sounds "tinny". I love driving this thing! I call it "The Beast". Worst thing about it is that it REALLY is hard to see out the back window!! Think I might get aftermarket rear camera for it.

Likin' it so far...
Bought it to tow a trailer from CA to SD in addition to the good cargo space. Did great. Got 23-24 mpg with trailer. Mileage is very responsive to speed. If you don't speed, the mileage increases, go figure! Car has been great for the couple months I've had it and made the long trip without a hitch(figuratively).
