It is not ordinary .. compared to previous Vitara, Suzuki has gone back to boxy, RAV4 style SUV.Can’t stop dreaming of it night and day. Looks so damn hot. Price is too much to handle. Bring it down to slightly above 100k…I’m gonna be at the nearest Suzuki showroom first thing tomorrow.
this is very awesome.

I bought a 2004 Grand Vitara new at the dealer. It is my first experience with Suzuki. I now have 169,000 miles on it. It is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
Unfortunately, there are no Diesels sold in the US. I would love to have a Diesel engine in my Suzuki. It would be the difference between 21 mpg and 33 mpg, or about $500 per year including maintenance (oil changes, etc).

Problem is most of you people out there expect too much of a diesel. the Frogs vertually invented them. Benz came from near the Frog border! A diesel has a sweet note. Only the petrol looses it when the big ends go or tappets get loose. Most of you nerds relate the diesel sound to these sounds. Forget tappets etc and start life out with a diesel and you can come to respect the sound of a superb rattler. Unfortunately Suzy won’t capture the market. Well they should with right sized jigger using right donk. Aussies have to have their diesels in mack truck configuration!

Hey Guys, have just picked up my new Diesel from Newspot in Adelaide. It is awesome! great to drive and the fuel consumption is amazing. not sure what these comments on noise are. i am really surpised at the “lack” of noise and some of my mates have even challenged me in saying that it cant be a diesel. Hopefully Suzuki are on the right track and we see some more diesel range from them!

One plus for that unit it has a timing chain,the aircleaner looks very low on the side of the motor not good for water crossings?

No Frugal One its definitely a Renault engine. Fiat have collaborated with Gen Motors and you find their engines in Vauxhall/Opel/Saab. The renault at a noisy 95KW is way behind Fiat/Gm’s 113 and 135Kw deisels.
