  • Not Enough Horsepower - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I own an 05 XL-7. I like everything about the truck except, the gas millage is not good, considering that its a V6 with under 200 HP. It only gets 17 mpg city and 21 hwy. Also, it should come standard with a luggage rack, but does not. Other than that, its a good truck for the money.

  • Overhaul experience - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Vehicle is comfortable for driving. Need better gas mileage. While driving the vehicle is bit too noisy. Tire sensors malfunction especially on cold days. Passenger door light is not working after several attempts to repair it. Security screen in rear is constantly breaking. Braking system needs much improvement.

  • 2005 XL-7 - Purchase Date 10/05 - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    For the past 12 years Ive been driving minivans and I was NOT buying another one. I miss driving a car (pre- kids) and that is what I was hoping to buy. Unfortunately, at this time, that isnt practical. I need a vehicle large enough to cart my boys, their friends, sports equipment, and the dog around. I live in a remote area of NW New Jersey - it takes 20 minutes to get to the nearest grocery store - so I didnt want to buy a gas guzzling full size SUV. We have snowy winters and I love driving in the snow so 4x4 is required. The XL-7 was the answer. It provides all the features I need at a very reasonable price. Its fun to drive, good on gas, and the boys love the sound system. So far, so good.

  • Very good SUV at a very affordable price - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I would recommend this SUV to anybody who’s looking for Mid-size SUV at a very affordable price. I own a 2003 Limited with 45000 miles already and haven’t had a single problem with it. You get a lot of options that would cost you about an extra $10,000 in other models like the Toyota Highlander. There are some inconvenient, lack of room between benches, or a bit noisy once it passes the 50 miles per hou. The 185 HP is not enough either, but its performance in general is very good , considering that the price you pay is in the low 20s . This SUV is been great off road or in the snow, as well as in very wet conditions.

  • I Love My Car! - 2005 Suzuki XL-7

    I have only had my vehicle for about 1 month but so far it has been my best. I actually enjoy driving again. Would highly recommend to anyone.

  • Great car for family and sports - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    In 2005 we decided to buy the XL7 used, 6000 miles on it looking new and for a great price, way lower than a new one wouldve cost. It was a dealers test drive car. Since weve got it nothing wrong happened. I have done the brakes on it at 30000 and costed $70.00 It gives average 18 to 22 MPG combined HWY and City. Regular gas is just fine. Very resistent, reliable and confortable.4WD is wonderfull when needed. Long trips are nice and smoth. The features from manufacture are great. My wife gets complements from all her friends, her car looks Young...they say. Very good car for the price. Low cost to keep mechanicaly. Looks better and runs better now that is paid for!

  • My Second XL-7 - 2005 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I love the fact that my XL-7 has a full frame and that the engine has plenty of power for the city and the highway. The interior is very user friendly. I love my 6 disc CD changer with subwoofer. this truck has a large cargo area and the passenger seats can be made into a chaise lounge by removing the head rest and sliding the seat forward and reclining it back.
