    Reliable, Roomy and Remarkable Sasha!

    Sasha is our 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara, an SUV/Crossover. She supported our son when his car was stolen last year and he needed reliable transportation until his was found or he could get another. Sasha is the greatest - she smoothly switches to 4 wheel drive, the cargo space was a plus while our son moved into his new home, and it comfortably fit all 6 feet 7 inches of him! The battery is only 1 yr. old and there are no mechanical nor electrical issues. Everything works and she's a good lookin' model to boot! We hope to find a new home for such an awesome car!

    Reliable

    I own a 2005 GVitara.Very peppy small SUV.Great on the road and dirt roads. Drives well in mountains. The cons are that the rear wheel drive is not great in the snow in the 2WD model. The A/C has developed a leak at 39K miles.Otherwise it is a reliable car and a good value.
