2018 Suzuki Vitara GL 1.6 petrol

General Comments:

This car belongs to my friend. I was able to ride in this car before on one of our nights out. For a crossover, I can say that this car is comfortable. I am used to big cars, but being in a small crossover like this one is something I don't mind. Legroom is good, and my other friend who sat in the back found it comfortable too.

Pick up is quite good for its size. It rides like a compact sedan like the Altis and you won't feel that it's really a small SUV until you take a look at the exterior.

So far they haven't had any problems with this car. This is actually one of the coolest cars you'll ever see in this country.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Recently replaced the automatic transmission filter and oil, my reverse took a while before it engaged.

General Comments:

Aside from the stuff mentioned above, the car is built to last.

Generally, the above mentioned are all normal wear and tear items, considering the age of the car.

If your looking for comfort, I would not recommend this car.

If you want practicality, reliability and and low maintenance cost. this car is great.
