if you need space and power, mas masikip at mas mabagal yung vitara kesa city mo. although matangkad yung vitara, mas makitid ang interior space. we had a 97 city, 97 vitara, 00 grand vitara v6, but sold na lahat. the gen 1 had rancho 9000 rear shocks and the gv had ome springs and shocks. if you're not going off roading, mas okay ang handling ng gv and it's very torquey and quick (manual tranny). it pulls almost like an e30 323i w/ manual tranny in the 1st 3 gears. matibay yung suspension ng gen 1, after 70T km and 30% of that over rough road walang nasira. medyo matakaw lang nga sa gas, a/t kasi.
