Advantages: Good On and Off Road

Disadvantages: Expensive tyres

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 this helped when it come to insurance as only had to pay £35 for the year to be added to the policy.

I have found the clutch very light handy off road but makes it a bit finicky when pulling out of junctions. Servicing is cheap enough if your willing to do it yourself unfortunately having the big wheels makes for having to buy expensive tyres.

Overall a good car really can't grumble to much.

Summary: All round a good driving experiance well impressed
