2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara 5 Door review from UK and Ireland
"Looks good from the outside, but not pleasant to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many many rattles and squeaks
Recall for potential wiring loom burning.
General comments?
Seriously poor economy from the Diesel engine. Owned a 2-litre petrol RAV4 a few years ago and managed 32mpg from that. The Diesel Vitara was only managing 35mpg.
Diesel engine was also noisy and the vibrations transmitted badly into the cabin. I've owned several other diesel cars (VW/Volvo) and never experienced anything like it.
For an offroader, the suspensions was way too hard - failing to soak up even the smallest bumps int the road.
