Suzuki Vitara 2018

[JohnM]

Saw a red one with a black roof last night in Makati. Don't know the variant pero it had HID headlights and what looked like a third party reverse camera.

Saw a gray-colored Vitara earlier along Sucat. It does look better than an Ecosport.

Any reviews on how this small crossover handles on the road?

It handles rather well given its size and engine. Steering is the lightest among vehicles I've driven. Engine responds to my input well and doesn't seem to lack power for casual city driving. I've driven a 1.2 Swift before and I sometimes feel that model lacks power at acceleration; the Vitara's 1.6 engine is from an old Swift model and doesn't have the 1.2's lack of power for me.

It handles the slight bumps/road imperfections very well, and I feel it's better at the slightly bigger ones than my previous car (a Fiesta). There's a little tire noise from the stock Continental tires starting at the 60-80 kph range, but nothing that the stereo can't drown out. I also noticed some wind noise when a rear window is down and the same side front window isn't (solved by also pulling down the same side front window).

Nice! GLX boss? Until now I am still waiting for mine. Had GLX red reserved since November, dealer said I am first in line for the color+variant.. but till now, no good news.

BTW, for those who are considering GLX Horizon Orange, meron sa E.Rod. Although they seem to be pulling out all the stops in order to get the highest profit from clients (i.e. mandatory comprehensive insurance with dealer, no free LTO, etc.).... They claim that they already have the unit in their showroom... but when I asked for the CS# ending, they replied "100k down payment first before it can be disclosed.."

Not true (at least until yesterday when I was there). It's the GL+ that's on display. It's situation like this when you see the true color of these dealers. They bleed you dry knowing that everybody else wanted to own one. 'Ika nga "to the highest bidder".

It's true actually. I called them up this morning and they told me they will let me have it through cash payment if I'll get the comprehensive insurance worth 40k and LTO. But in the afternoon they told me they gave it to someone who opted for in-house financing.

I already gave up nå makaka kuha ako ng glx before the year ends. I just hope the excise tax for Vitara is not that high and the "rumor" about price increase won't happen anytime soon.

Welcome to the club bro. Your situation is exactly the same as mine in that dealer (40k insurance and 10k LTO).The black/white top GLX was already assigned to me and I was about to pay when I was informed that it was given to someone else.

Can we upgrade the 7" infotainment of gl+ to 10" with wifi of glx? I might go for gl+ if this is possible. I like the idea of using waze and Spotify straight on the infotainment kasi via wifi.

On average, How much lang ba ang comprehensive insurance para 1M worth na car?

Anyone here tried mirrorlink on gl+?

May na-release na Gray/Black GLX sa Alabang. Inggit! haha

Confirmed na pala na may ganung kulay.

Found a nice armrest, kaso UK based and looks like they don't ship to the Phil.

I don't think the GL+ has Mirrorlink; I don't see the option for it. You have Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calls and playing audio from your phone.

Not likely. The panel for the GL+'s 7-inch headunit looks different from the one used for the GLX's 10-incher. You'll probably have to get a custom job.

Dealers might probably sell the 10-inch headunit and upgrade later on, but there aren't any accessories for the 2018 Vitara yet (at least at where I got my GL+). I'll update once they come in. Meron pang utang ang agent ko sa akin na ilang accessories na napag-usapan namin.
