The Suzuki Vitara struggles to pull the skin off a rice pudding. Performance around the 'burbs is barely adequete. However......get it into the sand and it comes into its own. Suddenly it becomes a fun car, in the environment it was built for. It floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee....making light work of Landcruisers , Patrols and other such heavy vehicles.

Well u got to love the making of this car (its 1997 model). for a 4WD car it accelerates very good and delivers its 136 hp from its roaring V6 engine to match ur demands on or off-road since it is lightweight; supported by a good gearbox (although mine has probs with the clutch but still works and delivers the output needed for ur pleasure). Brakes nicely and reliable in emergency braking. Some say the handling is bad but from my expirience; it is good and easy of course not as an evolution or a 2009 model but it keeps its balance neatly even in hard curves. A very good maneouvering car in off-road and makes life easy on desert even when gets stuck or in tough dunes it gets off real easy but when loaded it becomes very heavy and loses its prefrences since it is not a high car. Although its a 1997 making if u make a good maintainance course u would rely on it for a good long time, but needs a good mechanic to adjust and maintain it good. It is not the "very good looking" car, an ordinary shape but comfortable (even for tall guys to sit in) from the inside. It has unfortunately a small trunk with a limited space as it is a compact car so it would be crowded for travelling a long road with 4 persons and their gears inside the car. The car makes a good feul consumption (430 km approx. in town with AC always on) for a 2.0L V6 engine. Oil change is every 10,000 km at least here in Egypt. The car is very fun to drive I always choose it over our Lancer 2006 sport edition because it really thrills anyone sitting in its driver seat, it will deliver u anything u want from it. I recomend this car but in auto transmission easy and reliable too. Vitara models who still have these features is oldies (like mine) and till 2002-2003 models but is is dedicated for evey usage style and safety wise.
