Smooth engine, pick-up just ok, suspension quite stiff, run very smooth on hiways, very spacious, n the list goes on...worth the price. no regret buying it. But if u r into sedan comfort, SUV is not yur thing...but the best thing about owning this SGV, u can park it anywhere u want w/out fear of being hijacked or stolen coz it's not a popular car.

They used Suzuki instead of Honda or Toyota :-) It dropped 30k because it's a Suzuki Grand Vitara and not a Honda CRV. It's all in the name. They could not sell well at 139k even when they have a good product with all the bells and whistles. Might as well reduce the bells and leave just the whistles. And drop some 30k off the price tag. Even with just the whistles, it's still far better than other offerings at the same price range. hoss,
