  • Ive Seen and Driven Better - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Over all the xl-7 is not too bad, but the drivers seat area is too narrrow. Also the floor heat is very bad doesnt hardly work even. And that is not a good thing for living in Central New York. Alot of people are complaining about the access of the oil filter. It is a bit of a pain but oce you get the hag of it it isnt as bad.

  • Not terrible - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Good price for an SUV with third row seat which is WAY too small for frequent use. My husband hates this car, but It never gave us a problem until the service engine light came on at 60k miles. It turned out to be a bad O2 sensor for $250. On maybe 5 different occasions, the belt squealed briefly when turning on the A/C then stopped. I should have taken it to the shop immediately. At 100,000 miles, the A/C compressor locked up and caused the belt to break - a $1,400 repair in total. Fuel efficiency is horrible, avg 17-20 mpg.

  • Reliable, Economic SUV - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Overall a very reliable vehicle. However, I would admit this is no luxury SUV but for the price a very good value. Build quality is somewhat questionable. Dealer support is good as is the service that accompanies it.

  • If you must have 7 seats - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    Ive test drove the base model and the ride was much softer than the touring model which Ive purchsed. Its not the most comfortable vehicle, but it does seat seven reasonably. If you want 7 seating and have 7 full sized adults, dont even think about this car. If you have 2 or more small children and 2 adults then consider this vehicle. If you can afford Acura MDX, I say go for that. I understand it rides much better.

  • Let Me Down - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I am very disappointed with my Suzuki XL-7. At 48,000 miles the air compressor pump/belt went out. It cost $1,600 to replace! I live in Oregon, and only use the A/C 6 weeks of the year!

  • Drivers Seat is Killing ME! - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
    By -

    I purchased my XL7 after spending weeks looking on the internet. This vehicle had everything I wanted. Leather, Heated Seats, Third Row Seating, Sun Roof. I since added a DVD system, and now my kids are in heaven. I fell in love with the "Purple" color, with the dark gray leather interior...
