Not a piece of junk! - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By 07GVXS - December 9 - 2:03 pmFor the money you spend for a Suzuki GV it is not a bad vehicle. However because of its tendency to depreciate I would not buy one brand new. I bought my 2007 GV Xsport 2wd. barely used with 13000 mi. last year. The problem with the rear tires wearing was resolved with a rear end alignment. Seems the factory misaligned many of these models. The new tires seem to last longer once this is corrected. In my opinion most of the MPG ratings for this vehicle are pessimistic. I get around 20 MPG in city and 23 on Hwy. However this diminishes greatly if you exceed 70MPH on Hwy. The interior plastics are cheap and scratch easy but the engine and trans. seem to be very reliable and thats what counts.

Nice Little Truck - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By josh - January 30 - 12:33 pmBeen a great truck for the blend of offroad and street driving we do. Tows our boat pretty well and does very well offroad compared to others cars in the same category Ive driven. But it does ride a little more rough than say a RAV4 but its a fair trade for more capability. The 4-mode 4wd system is pretty nice.

Best compact SUV Ive had - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By GV 07 - August 9 - 12:30 amVery nice compact SUV. Looks better than most of its competitors and it also has better performance as well as more amenities than its competitors. Handles better than a car. Very fun to drive. It can be used for towing as well as for off-roading. This small SUV is capable of taking you almost everywhere you take it. My rating for this SUV is 8/10.

Tight as a drum - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By dcote - April 9 - 11:30 amI like everything except, my key fob does not make a sound when I lock/unlock the door (just a click), the sticker says I have 7 speakers but I can only find four. The avg. MPG only says 16.1 mpg... this seems low, I hope the meter is just inaccurate.

Good small truck not crossover.... - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By fred102 - March 23 - 4:39 pmI have my 07 Grand Vitara since a year and half ago... so far it is doing great. I bought it will 45,000 miles and already has 71,000 and it feels as good as new....of course, synthetic oil every 3,000 mls, besides that gas. Dont use cheap gas on this truck because you are wasting your money. the truck wont run the right way and in the last run, you are just cutting the life of your truck. Tires, it came with hancook tires and still has the same in great shape. Remember and dont get confuse, this is not a crossover Mickey Mouse AWD car. this is a small 4x4 truck with a real chassis and frame and thats makes a difference...

Suzuki now has a good reputation - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By cdang - February 25 - 8:30 pmI have driven many SUVs and cars in my life, and Im 18. This SUV is among the best small SUVs available out in the market. For the price and standard options (most would be options on other automakers), this is the most affordable Japanese vehicle. I own an 07 Toyota Highlander as well, and compared with engine, this SUV isnt the best. Highlander, which is bigger in size has a larger engine, more horsepower and better fuel estimates (based on my driving) than the Vitara. The engine on this SUV is good for the size of the vehicle, but is a gas guzzler. The engine is quite loud. But everything else is very good.For what I paid, it is a true bargain.

Some Good, Some Bad - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By Scott - September 7 - 5:10 pmI love the features like Smart Key that you dont find on vehicles in this class. I have one serious gripe. The mechanical valve lifters need to be serviced ever other year. Ive heard it costs anywhere from $500 to $2400 out of our pockets! Thats unacceptable for a modern engine. The rest of the car makers ALL use hydraulic, maintenance-free lifters. My 67 Ford even had them. Suzuki saved $100 and we will be paying for it for years to come. My valves are already ticking with only 7,000 miles. Also, the MIL came on and the fuel gauge went to "E" so thats my first trip to the dealer for repair. The valve train ruins it for me. Cannot recommend this SUV for this reason. Try again, Suzuki.

I Love It - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By trajtman - July 18 - 10:00 amI just got my new SUV, a Suzuki Grand Vitara and i really like it. I just wish that I could have afforded the 4WD one, but I love mine.

Solid Performer - 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
By JMat - September 25 - 11:00 pmSince I purchased my GV Ive gotten married, got a dog, bought a house and recently became a father. All along the way the GV has never let me down. Weve gone on several road trips and the GV has always been a true pleasure to drive. It now hauls my entire family including the dog with no problem. Reliability has never been an issue and the build quality is top nothch. The only issue Ive had since purchasing it in 2007 has been a burned out headlight which was covered under the warranty and took a half an hour to repair at the dealership. I would recommend this car to anyone.
