Having just spent 4 months touring with a 16ft caravan, all I can say is my V6 vitara is awsome. It is a great comfortable tow wagon. My only dislike is the inability to be able to select 2nd gear in the five spead auto box. My only other gripe is a $566.00 service fee to do a 45000 klm service at Garry Crick Service centre, the Suzuki dealer at Maroochydore.

We bought a Suzuki Grand Vitara mid 2009 It is a 2.4 Prestige.I agree with a previous comment that line this car up against the Rav/Forester/Honda/and Outlander.There is absolutely no comparison with value for money.I was going to look at the 6 cylinder at the time but we were so impressed with the performance of the 2.4 (only the 2 of us and 2 dogs) we didnot venture further.I love the side opening door especially with our spaniels loaded.We did have a ding in the rear after only 6 months (16 year old P plate driver) but the car has never missed a beat.I just wish Suzuki would come out with a new shape as in a couple of years i will be looking to upgrade to something else.Like the Toyota prada but don’t know if i want to pay the money!

Stick with the jeep the v6 is at app 12.5lt/100 k town,
10.5lt/100 on the open road all sensible driving. And that’s if you make it. mine has done 15,600k it has left me 4 times on the side of the road, when it rains it stops
with elec problems, and suzuki cannot fix it. The suspension sounds like it falling of lucky the car is setting on it. The sales person cannot look at me as he is so embarest, he was a friend.
At 9000k the steering rack was replace now it just lock at full lock
left or right year stick with the jeep. we should swope wife’s mine wonted the vitara. NOW HAVING SIAD THAT I STILL LOVE IT AND IF IT WAS MANUAL IT WOULD BE EXELLENT

I love 4wd car, It can take me to off road ,flooding road or road with mud. It ver excite to drive 4wd but I must be pay more to maintainance my car. Last my 4wd car is Suzuki Grand vitara, my first car is Suzuki samurai. Suzuki is very classic for me their car is so cute and less maintainance, But some time it to small for my luggage. However suzuki is brand in my heart forever.

Great car .I have a 2009 2.4 Ltr grand Vitara .I love it it has all the features standard you could ever want.My only small gripe is that it uses about 14 Ltrs per 100 of petrol around town although it is great on a long trip around 28/29 MPG.The other thing which can be a pain is the side opening rear door apart from that buy one you will love it .I have not had one mechanical problem to report not even a rattle.I had the Serria back in the 80s it was a great 4X4 never missed a beat. My new car is like a limo in comparison..Also great on the beach the low range works a treat…

Just ordered the Prestige V6 with the sat nav/rear camera/DVD and Bluetooth in one unit(like the picture I guess). Think it is an after market addition but the dealer priced it… cost is around $3,000 but well worth it I think… Shouldn’t be called ‘Prestige’ without it.
