Test Drive Preview: 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara

[ryckyml]

Got a new GV V6 in 2008. Good VUS on road, but a shi*load bucket of problem, always on garage. Differential seal leaks, electronics problems, last failure a week ago: ABS pump, a $1500 part and i have only 57 000km on it. I never abuse the truck, only very light off road once a year, 80% of millage was on highway. Now on repair and for sale this week. Gonna trade this ?%$# for a Toyota or a Honda.

Yes they are beautiful SUV but don't buy it, quality its not there.

I really like these capable little machines. Especially with the 3.2 v6 ,but they are difficult to find in my area.

this guy is a moron. barrier between the traffic on the road? what a joke. as if the door is going to protect you from anything. and it's hinged on the correct side of the car - you guys just drive on the wrong side of the road haha.

@davo963320 yeah really  if a vehicle does hit the door you won't see it coming plus you will be crushed when the door slams into you.

Though I don't think it was a bad review besides the petty thing about the door.

if only the CRV offered an off road pakage it could compete with the Grand Vitara

[buzzboyscout]

i wanna have this on my carport, really...

[xadam2dudex]

isn't this a GM Saturn Vue from the partnership of GM & Suzuki ?

[sexyboi142]

@xadam2dudex no

[lucyfanclub]

The door opening works just fine on mine - we drive on the left side of the road here.

[cardude1992]

i wonder why they did not include the outlander to the competitors list...

Since 90% or the doors in this world (in homes, offices, etc) open to the right, really don't understand why some reviewers are making such a big fuss about the rear door in this vehicle opening the same way. If Suzuki moved the opening to the opposite side, these same reviewers would probably complain the door then opens awkwardly.

the best SUV .. hand s dowwn man. CRV should look for a new dump garage.

[muscat0]

the v6 has a five speed auto gearbox in the top of the line model

[Goremaster]

a 4spd !  come on Suzuki ! were not in the 90's anymore.

[bandiamuk]

[serpico007]

I agree, I've been watching since 1988 I think that's when it started. Great Canadian car show.
