2003 Suzuki XL-7 JLX 5 review from North America
"Mercedes luxury, Suzuki reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner compressor whine,
dealer replaced system and corrected the problem.
2 recalls involving wiring and throttle cable.
General comments?
It's very luxurious and quiet with a long list of standard features including: heated mirrors, 6 disc in dash CD player, electronic brake force distribution with ABS, cabin air filter, automatic climate control, not to mention an excellent safety rating.
How they can do that for the price is remarkable.
Dealers are great also; free loaner cars, and a wash and vacuum with all service.
