1999 Suzuki Vitara JX review from North America
"Invest the money on an SUV that provides reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission went at 50,000 miles.
The dealership wanted to charge me an outrageous sum and of course it was not covered under the warranty.
Also have had problems with the A/C and the fan belts (had to have those replaced 3 times in the first year.)
General comments?
I would never buy a Suzuki car again. The Suzuki service people seemed very annoyed at having to work on my car. I suppose I don't blame them. You get what you pay for.
