So Far So Good

No problems with comfort, performance, reliability. Gas milage pretty good for a big SUV. Single CD player is quirky and will have to have it serviced(stops playing and cd won't eject). Purchased at dealer as an Executive use vechicle with 4,600 miles on it. Well kept by user. Overall is pleasant and comfortable to drive. Has good pickup when needed. I generally drive under speed limits on highways to save on gas. Good cargo space. No third row on this one. No complaints. I've owned Hyundai Sante Fe & Nissan Xterra and like this SUV better than both, although the Sante Fe is also a very good value for the price.

I bought my XL7 in Dec 08 with 96 miles on it. For the money there is not a better deal. The motor has amazing power and it moves much quicker than you think. In upstate New York the AWD was a must with over 114" of snow a year. I never managed to get it stuck. I never thought of buying a Suk, we where looking at Jeep Commander, after reading reviews I made much better choice. The 3.7 Liter in the Commander was way underpowered. I have 3 kids, its comfortable and fun to drive. I would have spent much more for a similiar SUV.

I was looking for an SUV/Cross Over that had lots of room, some bells & whistles, and a nice ride for a good price. After two months of looking I chose the Suzuki XL7. I found a used 2008 with just over 10,000 miles for under $16,000. It has good engine power, huge cargo capacity, and is a pleasure to drive. It has plenty of amenities right down to the padded area below the ignition so your keys won't make noise as they hit the steering column. It's very comfortable and handles great. On a recent trip we averaged 26mpg with the air on for half the trip. We get 17mpg around town. The AWD will come in handy in the winter here in PA. Be sure to test drive one of these before you buy.

Purchased a 2008 luxury trim model for the wife. So far, so good. She likes the comfy seats with heaters and the ride is smooth and car-like. The AWD is a Godsend on our horrific unfinished roads. Smooth, powerful 3.6L engine with excellent 5 speed auto trans.

Bought the vehicle used with 9K miles on it from the dealer. The car new was 30K and I paid half that. This is my 3rd Suzuki vehicle. Presently still has 2003 XL-7 with 96K(runs great). The car has fantasitc power, smooth tranny and is confortable to drive. The fact that the car is AWD is a big plus in the snow. Interior quality, fit and feel are just fine for me. I have pulled my boat with my 2003 XL7 without a problem and the extra 70+ HP will prove to be a great addition. 22MPG in the highway and about 18MPG around town. At this point I could not be happier.
