1991 Suzuki Vitara JLX review from UK and Ireland

Nothing at all.

After many years of driving medium to large saloon cars I yearned for a change. I did not fancy driving around in one of the many computer generated clones which currently populate our highways, so decided to fulfill a long held ambition and go for a 4x4.

I was attracted to the shape and style of the Vitara and was impressed by the fact that even models in excess of ten years old were in immaculate condition.

Two weeks ago I took the plunge and purchased a J reg model.

Firstly there is not a sign of rust on the bodywork and the interior is clean and free from damage.

As for performance - well, it starts first time every time, it's noisy, it finds every bump and hole in the road and I love it!!!.

It may not have saloon car comfort, but then it's not a saloon car. I am not by nature a conventional person and the Vitara is not a conventional car, as far as I am concerned we are a match made in heaven.

This partnership may be only two weeks old, but I am in love with this boxy, noisy little vehicle.
