kdubya Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 well my old surf has died and is about to go to surf heaven, so I need a newish 4x4 looking at a diesel grand vitara, so come on who has one what are they really like? mpg ( can't possibly be as bad as my surf) size of space in back with rear seats down etc, oh and reliability, and off-road capability,basically am I on the right track fancying one of these oh and the shorter wheel base petrol versions are not and option I need to get my rc planes in the back. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch66 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Ive got a 54plate 2.0 diesel G Vit, not the newest shape ! cant fault it, selectable 2 or 4wd & low box, fairly capable with the right rubber on & not bad with intermediate tyres, You get to know its limits & I`m still trying to find mine, 30/32 mpg local running how ever I drive it & mid 40s on a run. Its not quite got the ground clearance of a landy or similar nor does it have the same capabities, but then it dont carry the same running costs either. The boot ought to be a little larger but then I can get all I want in & the seats go down if need be. Road tax £245 at the mo, for a mid size 4by4 there up there with the best in this size. Cant comment on the new 1.9 diesel !! Edited October 19, 2011 by mitch66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
