Help need in deciding.....

[umamahesh1980]

HI Guys,
I am planning oon buying a 07 suzuki grand vitara, its for my wife and does any one have any experience with the suzukis here and what are your opinions on this.
Cost is a major factor in deciding the deal, the dealer in our area is offering a $4500 off on the new grand vitaras. I will get a fully loaded luxury version for under $20K.
Any suggestions and help is appreciated as I am new to the automotive field.....

Thanks for the info, I have seen reviews from people saying that there is hell of road noise and also some problems with suspension.

I read 1/2 dozen reviews and they all mirrored the one above......noisy and underpowered.

Have you considered the Hyundai Veracruz? A very nice looking car I must say.

I saw that too but I am not able to decide. I am driving both of them tomorrow and finally get to decide. I really like the look of the veracruz.

If youre going to buy a brand with ZERO resale value like Suzuki get it used and get it check out by a good mechanic.
