Nissan X-Trail is better

Sorry, but most Jeeps you’ll see on the road will NOT have a V8. You’ll either see ones with the 4.0L I6 or the 3.7L V6, maybe even the 3.8L V6 in the newer Wranglers. You’ll only really see a V8 in a Commander or Grand Cherokee. And getting stuck has everything to do with the driver and not the vehicle. A talented driver can take a stock Jeep and take it places that idiots get their lifted and modified vehicles stuck at.
@The1andOnlyG33k Yeah thats why I wrote what i did, I know wrangler v8s are converted, partly because i have had e Jeep I6 4.2 , carburated, newer ones had 4.0. And I also so that the original comment i commented is gone from the site
So I understand why u missunderstood me, have a nice day MR
@Dan41290 lol i thought je said that too…but he said big “S”
too bad they have a worse reliability rating I’ve read
Nice vehicle overall, but I have reservations. The radio doesn’t have a USB port for MP3 music. I’d obviously pefer a standard USB port for inexpensive flash or thumb drives over a proprietary interface for expensive iPods. The radio is well intregrated into dash, so don’t see how to replace it with a 3rd party radio with USB. Finally, nobody seems to be selling a winch for the GV, which does somewhat limit it’s potential as an off-road vehicle.
@ryanlester1980 who cares ? the x trail saves more fuel,the dashboard is designed to avoid your knee getting knocked to the dash when off roading.
@KPKonliner – but its uglier
@JohnJeep7 The grill is not part of the bumper, but it takes a lot of modifications to mount a winch
@Dan41290
He said big S
I drove this in my field yesterday, my first go at driving.
I’m ten years old!
Is it just me or he said “big ass on the front” 0:35
I like it how he says americans are downsizing, then he reviews a huge SUV…
I also had gran vitara model 2002 it also saved my life in a car accident , nice strong car indeed.
They are plastic in the front, I have a tracker and the easiest way I found to mount the winch was to bolt a very thick plate onto the front top of the frame rails, and have this plate stick out just past the grill enough to bolt the winch to it. May be able to modify the front of the GV in a similar way, but I think the grill might be one piece with the bumper
OMG!!! Samurai 88!!! that is the Jimny’s grandpa!! dude, that little 4×4 is just AWESOME!!!
Northamerican people never trust in something that is not GM or Ford….since they think their innefficient engines and disgusting design cars are the best, car makers from other countries must offer an incredible warranty. Suzuki Vitara is a GREAT OFF ROADER, best option out there if you want a small real off roader. Everything else (Rav4, CRV, Sportage, Equinox) is just a family crossover sedan platform based SUV with no Low-range options, just electronic AWD systems.
lol okay this car really actually sucks badd, i was sittin in the rear seat of my friends moms for about 2 hours drivin somewhere and my ass was sore for 3 fucking days, also it feels very cheap, suzuki sucks lol go bmw.
You MUST live in America. Let the redneck think they are cool with their monstertrucks and jeep v8s, let them destroy the environment och get embarressed when they get stuck do to a high weight of the truck etc, Suzuki is a very good all-terrainer for the money and looks nice to.
If you’re so “embarassed” to be seen in it, trade it in.
I have owned a plethora of Suzukis and have been impressed with all of them. I still have an 88 Samurai, and a 95 Sidekick. I sold my 02 GV to a family member, and bought a 09 GV 3.2L XSport. Fantastic vehicle! The 3.2L will not be passed by any Chevy or Toyota SUV… So, rbolo29, do you actually have people telling you to get that “POS” out of their way, or are you being dramatic….
I have a 2007 Grand Vitara sport and I don’t like it too much. Not enough power and drivers behind me tell me to ‘get that piece of sh** out of their way.’
I feel embarassed to be seen on the road at times trying to defend the reputation of Suzuki against say a Toyota 4Runner or Chevy.
I may see like the cheapest solution but certainly not the best.
On the Suzuki Grand Vitara, is the outer surface of the front bumper metal or plastic?
I’m seeking a way to add a small electric winch short of installing a grill guard. If the bumper is metal, I may bolt the winch directly to that.
By the way, I’m open to suggestions from those with winch experience.
i had vitara 2000 cc since 2006 a great car save my life in car accident in my side ..a great car
I’m Grand Vitaras owner since 2007 and never had a problem I like this SUV !
I have a 2007 GV Xsp. Seems to me that Suzuki was in a hurry to release this designe early in 2006 but the new engine intended for it would not be available until late 2008. So they decided to use the old GV H seiries engine used in the 1999 to 2005 model. The 2.7L V6 is 1990s technology used in a modern design. I think Suzuki sould have waited until 2009 to release the new design and use the engine that was intended for this vehicle.
