Great 7 Seater Mid Size SUV

A great value for a seven seater. The usable 2 extra back seats are great for kids yet even small adults. Plus the 2 extra seats have airbags so safety is considered (unlike other SUVs we compared) The inside design is basic and not all that stand-out yet functional. Has a very small front compartment which would be great if bigger. The back viewable area is poor due to the small windows, so I would highly recommend a back up camera system. The turning radius is large making it difficult to make tight turns like most SUVs. Safety features crash test rating are great as well as the warranty. This is probably the least expensive 7 seater mid-size SUV on the market and so far we love it.

I have had this car for two weeks and I have put $130.00 in it driving just in town which is an average of 24 Miles per day. It evaporates the gas, took it in to Suzuki and they found nothing wrong. Saw another Lady at church and she asked me if my car drank allot of gas.I said yes,it does she said hers does as well. Same model and year 08 XL7. Needs to be built fuel economic. Uses to much gas.

What a bargain

Bought this for my wife who really wanted a Toyota. However the best deal we could find on a similar Toyota was 10K more and they offered 4K less on the trade in. For $14k less I talked her into the Suzuki. I have owned many new cars of about every make and never had one that didn't have anything that needed to be corrected in the first few months. That is until the XL7 absolutly everything was perfect. My wife loves the vehicle.

Suzuki performance quality, and reliability are hard to beat. So much more comfortable than the Highlander or Pilot. Wish it got better gas mileage, but it is a V-6 SUV afterall.

This is the second Xl7 I have owned and I bought my current xl7 new in 2008. I have had it for a little over a year and it has been back to the dealership 7 times. There is something faulty with the gas cap and the check engine light will come on and stay on. To replace the air filter is $50 to replace the Hepa Filter is $72. The arm the helps fold the back seats down has come apart twice. Very dissappointed. I was going to trade it in and found out that the Kelly Blue book value is $9000 I paid $22000
