2003 Suzuki XL-7 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear tailgate handle is thin black plastic which has broken twice.
A very poor design fault.
It has been replaced under warranty both time without hassle. The design fault was rectified on the new updated 2004 model with a stronger handle design.
No other noticable problems with this vehicle.
General comments?
A great value for money vehicle that had no problems as an off road 4WD on Stradbroke Island. It has plenty of acceleration and handles well on and off the roads. There is ample room in the vehicle and plenty of air conditioning vents for front and rear passengers. The seating is adjustable and quite comfortable.
