  93k and still going - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By Tom - December 7 - 7:26 pm

  Clock turned 93k and still going. 5 speed manual tranny and still same clutch. Love the truck, takes a beating and still ticking. Live in NYC, bad roads etc. Still solid. Blew a wheel bearing at 90k (bad roads) quick repair cheap (not at the dealer). Too bad they had to ruin it with the 08 models. They had a good SUV at a good price. Hope mine lasts another 5 years.

  Long-Term Use Report - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By SFBay - September 26 - 8:30 am

  Got my Suzuki XL-7 in 12/01 and still like it today after 53,000 miles. It was the best SUV for the money at the time with its 3rd row seats and REAL part-time 4WD. I commute with it and now after break-in, I’m getting 20 mpg, I only got 17 mpg before. My XL-7 feels heavy but still it is still fun and sporty to drive. It did really well at the off-road course I took last year. The only problem I had was a coolant leak which may be the dealers fault. I recommend regular trans/diff fluid changes. And the original tires are lousy, mine were bald at 15,000 miles. Go with Yokohamas, mine are still like new after 30,000 miles. I solved my oil filter access problem by cutting a hole at the wheel well and bolted on an aluminum sheet door. The colored weather strips have all faded.

  Quality, and much more than you pay for! - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By Yokemate - September 3 - 2:00 am

  The leather interior is polished and professional, the ride is quiet and refined, the seven year transferable no deductible power train warranty (3 year bumper to bumper) is outstanding. You dont pay for a bunch of extra doodads. The XL-7 is two inches narrower than the ML 320, and is maneuverable, as a result. The XL-7 is truck based but rides like a car and has a part-time 4x4 capacity, which can be switched to at up to 60 mph. The XL-7 has done quite well in crash tests. The XL-7 has crunch zones, anti- lock brakes, beams in the doors, pretensioners on the seat belts, and second generation air bags. Weve been surprised by the high initial quality.

  Best Mid-size Suv for the Buck - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By Stan D. - July 28 - 10:00 am

  A great SUV that has so much to offer for the price. I also like the piece of mind I get with the 7-year 100,000 mile warranty.

  luv the little ute - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By pickemup - June 21 - 10:00 am

  So far we are very happy with our purchase. The limited has all the creature comforts. Leather is very comfortable. Once you figure out the seats they are easy to use. It is easy to drive and the interior is well thought out. IT is great looking too. Gas mileage so far (just under 1000 miles) is not great. Less than 15 mpg.

  Luv My XL-7 - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By pam - June 7 - 8:20 pm

  We bought my XL-7 used it had 60,770 miles on it. My husband wanted to get me a better vehicle for my 40 mile commute. I love it. I never really thought I would like a utility vehicle but this one has surprised me. Corners well easy to handle and I can see out all around. Great little truck. I would highly recommend it to anyone that needs a 4X4 and it sports plenty of room and a third row seat for my grandchildren. My teenage daughter even likes to drive it. Very stylish looking and I would definitely buy another one. Best vehicle I have ever owned and I have had quite a few.

  Drivers Seat is Killing ME! - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By JulieJewls - January 26 - 2:00 am

  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...

  Best Value Hands Down - 2002 Suzuki XL-7
  By Todd Scales - January 2 - 10:00 am

  The XL7 is the perfect answer to a growing family wanting safety and versatility. It has achieved enviable scores in crash tests and rollover resistance tests. It comfortably seats 7 for typical needs (scouting trips, little league, etc.). It has great pickup, handles well, has micron air filters in the AC, heated mirrors ... the list goes on; and it does all this at a price typical of much smaller vehicles. Sound system is more than adequate.
