I own a Suzuki Grand Vitara for the past 5 years. I chose the model with the leather seats and wooden trims etc. I have only changed tyres and battery. Nothing ever goes wrong with it. I service regularly and am the only driver. it is an excellent vehicle....
The Diesel DDiS is the only way to fly. The gas engines offered with the Vitara are anemic with average fuel economy.
Hopefully, in the US this engine will become available in the near future. Other than that, I highly recommend this SUV....
