What a fantastic find.
I bought my 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara premium used with 109k miles. Did some repairs and maintenance such as replacing all fluids, new starter (didn't really need it), Tuneup, Severe snow storm rated ALL TERRAIN/ALL SEASON tires and even though I only drive 4,500 miles a year...I get an oil/lube with synthetic oil every 3 months religiously. Also added steel Red colored lug nuts that match my maroon paint job perfectly that adds a $20 being that really pops. Car drives like a brand new luxury car. Have been driving it 3 years now and lice it. No problems at all. All features work great. Love steering wheel cruise and steering controls. Stereo has fantastic sound. Feel perfectly safe and although it will happen eventually of course. I have no worries on long trips, that I will not have to concern myself with breakdowns. Great off road. I am 6'5" and there is plenty of legroom and space. Great interior layout. Luxurious interior. And (what my mother would say) the dashboard lights at night are real pretty 😍.

Best car ever!!
I purchase my Grand Vitara in 2006 right off the showroom floor. It has a little over 107,000 miles on it. The only two repairs I’ve had are the fan blower motor a few years ago and the intake hose. Other than that it’s been normal wear items, brakes, tires, wipers. It is the best vehicle I have ever owned! It’s now 17 years old and runs like a charm. I wish they still made them, but it would be hard to part with my Black Beauty!

Recall parts
The car and the engine is Magnificent, it’s just that when it comes to repair the recall items it the claim that they no longer have them in stock.

Made to Last I ❤ My Suzuki
I have owned my 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara since I drove her off the lot in 2006 with 3 miles on her... (part of which was from my test drive) I can never say anything bad about my Grand Vitara as it has been nothing but reliable, with just the standard maintenance necessary such as brakes, tires, alternator, battery and starter... and she is still going strong at 16 years of age and 167,000 miles on her. The one thing I must say about this SUV it was made to last, gas mileage is great and it is comfortable for just driving around town for errands or even long road trips across the state.... I truly think I will keep this one until she cannot go any further.

168,000 and still going strong!
Between my son and I we have put on 168,000 miles. Always performed the maintenance on time with oil changes every 3k. Everything still works at 14 years and still looks nice. Engine and Transmission very tight yet. Great value!

Great reliable car.
I purchased this SUV after test driving other similar models. Safety was important to me... after doing my due diligence i found it is built sturdy. Been sole owner and besides routine maintenance have had no major problems although their only fault is the headlights are always going out and they are not bright enough. Shame parts are hard to find. But besides that, i love my SUV...

Best car I ever owned and will keep it til it dies
I have owned it since mid 2007. Other than routine maintenance and tires, brakes, I have only had to put in an O2 sensor this year - 2019. It just keeps going. The seat belt and air bag light are a bother IF someone else drives the car. I'm convinced it is the sensors in the driver side seat. I think Suzuki stopped selling in the U. S. because they don't quit. A really great vehicle.

Worst Suzuki. BAD, BAD, BAD
By far worst vehicle I owned. Bad design, expensive parts, plus SUZUKI LEFT STRANDED USA OWNERS. Please DON'T BUY SUZUKI. Save your money. Don't waste it.
