2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by jimdwight

Exterior styling

Modern. Looks masculine. Rear wiper. Hinged rear door (I bang my head on the lift gates).

Interior styling

High quality appearance and feel. Good layout for controls. Steering wheel controls. Hard cover over rear storage area.

Reliability & durability

Rear wheel drive so good accessability of engine. Conventional design of engine/transmission/differential.

Past personal experience

My last Suzuki SUV is still going strong at 150K miles. No major repairs.

Price or payments

Good price for the included equipment.

Dealer practices

The one I bought my 06 GV from has already closed. They did not know what they were doing. They did not know the vehicle well in the sales department or in service. They took a long time to diagnose a problem with the fuel ventilation system.
