1994 Suzuki Vitara JLX from UK and Ireland - Comments

The Carburettor packed up at 90000, The brake wear is extremely high. The electrics are very unreliable, as is the automatic choke. The Radiator leaks. The door handles are about to fall off.

It was one thing after another going wrong. The drive is very spongy and uncomfortable. It was a lottery on whether or not it would start in the morning, and it's very rough on fuel.

Not bad, as I have a vitara, And my story is the same.

It is fuel injected - it has neither a carburettor or an automatic choke.

I agree with the last comment, I just wish people would think before they write!!! it makes you lok very foolish indeed and destroys any credibility of the remarks you have highlighted.

I have a Grand Vitara. My husband bought it for me, and I wish he hadn't. I can't give anything else consideration in regards to this vehicle, because I was too busy driving from gas station to gas station to recognize any problems. I work, but a mere 1/4 mile from my house. I do modest running and errands such as, grocery store, taking kids to school 3 blocks away, and misc things. I didn't drive much due to the fact I work night shift, and sleep days. I was filling that thing up, with gas prices soaring higher and higher, twice a week. I was spending as much for gas as I was on groceries for my house. I gave it back to him, and told him it was his problem, and got myself a car. I will not even consider buying another one ever.

I purchased a suzuki vitara jlx automatic I think 1995 model soft top for my daughter to learn to drive in and be her first car.

I thought she would be safe in a four wheel drive.

Unfortunately I sold it less than a year later because of the following.

Petrol consumption was just absurd IT WAS GREEDY!!

Steering is really iffy especially around corners and over bumps I felt like I was not in control of this car at all. the cornering thing was of particular concern I don't think it would take much to tip or roll this car on a tight corner due to the shortwheelbase.

Definately NOT a car for an inexperienced driver.

I was looking in car yard one day and saw a daihatsu applause automatic 1991 that had just come in, it was in immaculatate condition so I swapped over the vitara for the applause that same day and now I am happy and my daughter is more confident driving this car (except it is a bit uncool and she doesn't sit as high) it's a terrific car it feels safe to be in and does not chew through petrol

would I recommed a 2 door vitara for anyone other than a experienced driver no way!!
