    Another newbie question mga gurus:

    RE:Corolla97xl to Suzuki Vitara

    Me barkada akong gusto mag swap plus cash sa vitara nya.Any suggestions on vitara's handling,performance and porma? Malakas ba sa gas, maintenance and its 4x4 soft-offroading abilitites?

    Thanks and more power.Doesnt want to be a dealer, but sometimes, dun lagi ang punta ng usapan.

    MORE POWER TO YOU GUYS!!!

    if you're friend will be into some kind of offroading adventures, why not? i'm sure wiretap_md can answer better your questions.

    nice sports vehicle. that is all i can say. syempre ang handling nya is really different from a car because of its 4 x 4 capabilities.

    It can go beyond soft-offroading base on what I have seen and read.....its probably worth it.

    how do they differ in handling? I'm also considering gettin a 4x4 for my next ride, but i havent driven any of these. Is it much easier/difficult to handle than a car? thanks.

    what i read in other post, this is one mean sport-ute.Havent tested one yet so im posting for the zuk's experts pro's and cons.
    One to be considered was its gas consumption?

    Just bought my wife a 1996 Suzuki Vitara 1.6L 4X4 . It was originally the 2.0 V6 engine but told me to avoid it kasi converted siya na Vitara from Japan so I opted sa original left hand drive na 1.6 . ANyways , gas mileage is good kasi stock so far lahat under the hood ngayon . Handling is , I'd say 9 out of 10 sa smoothness niya while hitting bunps and ditches . Di pa ito na offroad kaya di niya alam ang capabilities ng power nito , sa highway , head turner siya dahil naka lift and clear ang windows na chix ang driver .

    Yup, the Vitara is no soft-roader. It has a proper frame and a proper dual range transmission. Conversely, don't expect it to ride and drive like a CR-V or RAV4 as it is not a car.

    I've ridden in wiretap's Vitara. Not much different from the Pajero. Very trucky but nothing you can't tolerate.

    Inedit ko na. hehehehe. Kasi naman pag-Safari Pajerong malaki kaya naisip ko tuloy na kapag Vitara, Pajerong-maliit naman. :D
