2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara GV 1600 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Not bad, doesn't like to be pushed too hard"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upholstery marks VERY easily, even from rain water, and is difficult to clean.
General comments?
Very rugged and agile off road (sensibly off road...)
Manually selectable 4WD, including Low Ratio.
Very thirsty for a 1.6, approx 28 mpg.
Any speeds over 60 mph and I did feel I was pushing it too far.
Not very stable in windy conditions.
