2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara...your thoughts? [merged]

[jojo_mouth2]

Di naman ako off-roader eh, I'm going to use it mostly sa city lang and family use, and the occasional outings kaya mukang attractive ang XL-7 ah.

Yebo, di ba siya pilit na 7 seater? parang yung musso, na-try ko di ako kasya sa likod grabe pang kids lang, mababali ata leeg ko! hahahaha

vitar is best in of-road as compared to its competitor. but as what you mention na pang city driving, i suggest you go for CRV -comfort and power.

ebbfolls, nakita ko na rin ang higlander ng toyota on the road, got me interested din, pero di ba imported yun? how much is it? i never asked toyota kasi feeling ko super mahal and wala sa budget ko, do they have it locally na ba? Thanks

[ebbfolls]

Hindi ko pa nakita yun dito sa atin, pero I've noticed a trend that kung makikita mo sa mga car mags, 3 to 6 months later, lalabas na sa mga peryodiko, just like the Vitara, Grand Vitara, F-150, Suburban, etc.

Test drive all the above mentioned vehicles. We just usually give our opinions based on our experience and vehicle writeups. For me, it all depends on your overall use.
If its for trailing and off-road use--get a Vitara or Grand Vitara
Comfort ride and on-road performance: CRV, Xtrail, RAV4 etc.

There are no right vehicles, to say the least, it all depends on your taste, comfort, usage and performance.

I like the GV. Especially that generation. More refined than the first but still more truck-like than the latest. Not as common as other Japanese SUV's. CBU Japan pa.

I think there is a thread about it here somewhere. It's my first choice for a used compact SUV.

[wulf]
