Suzuki Vitara in general

I bought my L Reg Suzuki Vitara about 5 years ago and although the car is a head-turner I have lots of problems with the car and feel that the overall build quality is very poor. My model is a 2 Door, Soft-Top with full body kit. I was the second owner, the previous owner only had it for about 6 months so I paid quite a high price. The car cost me £11,999, which, I'll think you'll agree is quite a lot for a second hand car. Two days after I bought the car the drivers door handle came off (which was repaired free but the garage where I purchased the car) and since then I have had the interior light repaired twice, the interior clock doesnt work ...  Read the complete review

We run an early 1990 H-reg Suzuki Vitara JLX SE Est and in the 14 months we have had the car it has never failed us once. We paid £3000 for the car with 75,000 miles registered at our local Suzuki dealer and it came fully valeted, with 2 new front tyres (the back were also new, but put on by the last owner) 1 years MOT the car also came with 1 years Suzuki warranty and 1 year Suzuki breakdown cover! Which I am glad to report we have never used once! And all for £3000! Fantastic!. As far as day-to-day living with the car goes it has been super. Plenty of room for 4 people which is all it'll carry due to only 2 seats in the back, the boot could be bigger, but ...  Read the complete review

Im the proud owner of a Black Suzuki Vitara JLX. It is my Second Vitara that I have owned after having a Blue JX before this one. I traded my old one in because it lacked the following features: The REALLY wide Wheel arches The REALLY wide Wheels Power Steering Leather interior. They were both Soft tops though. Now, I feel, I can comment on the cars seen as I have quite a bit of experience with them. Build Quality. They look very nice tidy cars on the outside but dont let that fool you. They are quite rattly inside. Not as bad as the SJ413 though. Every bump and hump causes a rattle somewhere. Ride comfort. The power ...  Read the complete review

Hello just a review about my mum's Suzuki Vitara 1.6 JLX i've had the pleasure of driving this vehicle for a period of 3 months when i had no other transport. This is a reliable little car with switchble 4 wheel drive with autohub. This car is just at home off road as it is on road. They exceeded my expectations going through mud and down slopes you would never expect it to make. The car tends to handle as well as can be expected and is comfy although the interior is fairly minimal. Only real extra here is the electric windows. The fuel consumption can be as good as 40 miles to the gallon if drove sensibly. Tax the highest band only being a 1.6 also found ...  Read the complete review

I bought a brand new soft-top Vitara 4U in September 1998 having always admired them...a 1.6L engine. Overall it is rubbish and a very bad buy. Let me explain and give you my experience of it after owning it for an unfortunate two years. After driving it down the motorway to Brighton and Crawley a couple of times the mere thought of going on a motorway with it almost gave me a heart attack. If you think this is exaggeration ask for a motorway test-drive and see for yourself...it is scary! The crosswinds push the car so hard your hands will be moulded into the steering wheel by the time you reach your destination. It drinks petrol...it's not comfortable at ...  Read the complete review
