I had the Suzuki 1. 6 petrol and had to return it. The electric sensers didnt work, the stop start drained the battery. It's badly designed I think. Far to many bells and whistles possibly. It has no pull up a hill for a 1. 6 four wheel drive. I had to stay behind the lorries on the motorway. Loved the entertainment and guidance system it was easy to use on the move but the speaker are tinny. The car was ok around town but you feel ever bump. Tried it off road on a muddy camp site and almost got stuck. Whilst an old station wagon breezed through the muddy puddle.
Difficult to get parts if anything goes wrong.
I know have the Peugeot 2008 1. 2 98 bhp purtec. It's nippy, great suspension. Got enough pull on the motorway for family and young driver(u25. Entertainment system sounds great. Guidance system is easy to use. Only thing I really miss is the keyless and the boot cover does not lift with the door. The glove compartment is tinsy pointless really. White with Oxford black trim with chrome look sport and defiantly better than the vitara all black.
My humble personal experience.

-3: 03 Mat, before you start complaining about Peugeot, learn the correct position behind the wheel first. In Peugeot, the prompts of the speedometer etc. are viewed above the rim of the steering wheel, not through its center. We simply do not give the steering wheel to the maximum level, the central point of the steering wheel is in the same place as in any other steering wheel, but due to the fact that it is smaller, we do not look at the indicators (speedometer, tachometer) through the steering wheel, but above it.

I really wonder if VW is offering a completely different Golf in the UK! Are the plastics in the console much more durable and better looking than these are offered hier in Germany? I find the plastics in my Golf not better than these in the Vitara and they're very sensitive against sunlight in 2 years they're looking like they had a chlore bath. It would be much more realistic to use another threshold to measure the plastic quality. Besides have you ever made a long term test of a VW product?

I love my 2006 1. 9 petrol Suzuki, but too many cup holders and not enough storage bins for stuff like 2 stroke oil and a can of petrol. The back seats are difficult to fully remove. Reliability has been excellent so far (6 MOTs and no repairs needed yet. I wouldn't describe it as fun but nearly every passenger has commented on how safe and comfortable they feel. Bought it because it felt so solid compared to Toyotas and Hondas I tested.

I-ve had a Vitara S for 6 months now. I average 48mpg over mixed driving. Suzuki have under played the performance, up to 60 its as quick as my 2012 C class coupe. A lot of journalists have recorded around 8. 5 seconds 0-62. In Hungary, where it-s built, they reckon the engine output is closer to 165bhp rather than the advertised 138bhp. Drives like a warm hatch and you can forgive the dash materials and lightweight doors for that.

Hi Mat! Hi everyone I have a difficult one for you. What is at the moment the most affordable 4x4/Awd capable offroader (with low gear ratios preferably) as in a compact or sub compact in a budget suv with the most luxurious interior and technology? Is it this Vitara? The new 2018 Jeep compass/renegade trailhawk or even the new c4 aircross from citroen which do you think?

Suzuki does not flatter you with soft touch plastics everywhere to deceive you with inferior mechanicals underneath. It invests more in lightweigh, high strength high tensile steel and quality components, hence the lightweight chassis and outstanding reliability. It was the most reliable car brand in 2018 according to What car? reliability survey 2018.

Not convinced. How come the Vitara is the best value if the pug is cheaper though not by much and use less fuel? Some people enjoy to -throw the car in the corners -. others prefer more comfy and relaxed driving at which the pug is much better than the suzuki. The pricing of the honda is putting it almost in the class above, not sure its that good.

You do not want the 1. 6 litre Suzuki vitara if you don't want to rev the nuts off it all the time (speaking from experience. It peaks torque at 5600 rpm. The 1. 4 turbo keeps it smooth with punchy power delivery at low rpms.
