my uncle own one.. the 4wd version, nice interior, nice exterior, quality feel 2 everything, leather seats feels classy too.. spacious inside, comfortable, but a bit of a petrol sucker.. i guess wit this 2wd version, its gonna improve on that aspect.. but, its not really nice 2 drive, n do bear in mind that its resell value is quite bad too.. but overall, its a good car.. if ure looking for an urban suv, this is worth considering.. the price is really intriguing for an suv, n i really like the looks of it.. its reasonably well equipped, n wit only 2wd, i guess it wont be as thirsty as its 4wd brother..

i still cant believe that theyre selling this for that price.. coz i really like the 4wd version one.. makes me wonder, how much equipment that they have taken out 2 be able 2 put that price tag on hmm.gif im guessing that it no more has keyless ignition, no leather seats, no 6 disc in dash cd changer, etc..

but, if im looking for an suv, i would dehinitely consider this..

add to to that.... wait about 7 months.

what is not there is no more keyless entry, no leather, 16" instead of 17", 2 vs 6 airbags, the spare wheel cover is anonymous and of cuz 2WD instead 4WD.

what's new... better HUD now with MP3 playback.

read a SG review earlier this year... if you are not looking for any off road adventure, this is a no brainer.  Better performance, smoother and cheaper  compared to the 4WD version.
i can live without the keyless ignition, i think its rubbish anyway.. i think i can live without the 17's as well.. but the leather is nice, n the 6 airbags is kinda keeping at a peace of mind when im on the road..

thats quite a lot of stuff they took out.. no wonder its 30 grand cheaper sweat.gif

these types of car the 4wd is useless offroad (no high-low range gearing) mostly for better handling during err rain ? , but 4wd when driving through minor floods is a big help though tongue.gif
actually dude, the 4wd grand vitara does.. n its quite good off road, trust me, ive tried it.. of coz, not as good as a range rover, but its much much better that wat we would expect from modern urban suv's these days..

Wao...actually i oso think it is a good buy...Cheaper than CRV & Rav4....and also is something different from others when u drive a suzuki Vitara..last time Vitara is a hit among SUV lovers...for city driving 2WD is good enuff...4WD is oso consume petrol alot...
yeah.. the thing i really love bout this car is the exclusivity.. its really really rare on the road of our country, n it looks really nice actually.. i used 2 prefer the rav4 in this suv segment, but after seeing the grand vitara, i fell in love wit it instead..

one more thing, i juz heard recently that my uncle juz sold off his sad.gif pity, coz i didnt get 2 spend much time behind the wheels of that car..

never seen it before so i asuumed it does not have .. tongue.gif still i think it way better then the cr-v system though .
2 me, the crv system is juz front wheel drive.. its really really hard 2 get it 2 engage all 4 wheels..

if spend it RM100k for this 2wd vitara.. i rather spend in civic or others...  rclxm9.gif
not everybody has that kinda thinking dude.. some people prefer suv's than cars.. some people like the high drving position that an suv offers.. some like the carrying capacity of an suv, although they only have 5 seats, but the suspension is designed to cope wit more weight than cars.. i know this, a friend of mine is a serious bowler, travels around a lot 2 play in tournaments all over.. n wit full 5 people in the car u wouldnt wanna carry 3 more bowling balls wit all the kits n also clothes n stuff.. jahanam laa suspension!! an suv is better suited for the job.. so dude, not everybody has the same thinkin as u, n not everybody has the same requirements as u..

wait till the crv rear wheels kick in when you are negoing a turn , then you will wish it had not kicked in .
never experienced that.. like i said b4, hard 2 get it 2 engage the back wheels, even in wet conditions..

different people diff taste mah .
agree.. thumbup.gif

QUOTE(cky6667 @ Oct 23 2007, 07:56 PM)
y dun u buy a recond wish??coz suzuki 2nd hand value is damn low....
wat i dont like bout the wish is that the driving position is exactly like a car.. it doesnt have that high driving position that we love which we get in mpv's and suv's.. 2 me, an mpv should have that mpv driving position.. n also, its not very comfortable 2 me, especially in the back seats..

QUOTE(Deja Vu @ Oct 29 2007, 08:44 PM)
Not all ppl like cars. Dun b surprised if there r actually ppl who think d current Civic is ugly.....
i agree.. coz i used 2 think that the civic's ugly..
