![]() After a recent 6 hour motorway trip O can honestly say I had never felt less tired and frayed at the end of a long journey. The seats are comfortable and we've had heated seats fitted by the dealer as it's not an optional extra in the UK. ![]() ![]() I also have Seat Leon 180hp 2.0 diesel company car but always prefer to take the Vitara as it’s so much more fun. The gear box is a bit clunky from 1st to 2nd but this will probably improve as we’ve only covered 2300 miles so far. The sat-nav works very well although the display is a little narrow top to bottom. The steering could do with more feel but day-to day its fine. It’s an excellent motorway cruiser when the adaptive cruise control is turned on which works a treat, it’s a capable town-cum-shopping car and is good fun on the twisties. I’m getting 38mpg round town, 46-50mpg on the motorway driving in the low 70’s mph and a recent half hour gentle run between 30 and 60mph got 55mpg and then I caned it for the return journey in sport mode and got 35mpg. I was mindful of the often-reported overly sensitive brake radar system. That said, the tailgate does need a firm push to close. It still has a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating. ![]() If you do your homework you will find that Suzuki have made use of high tensile light weight steel to save weight. If the engine has not warmed up sufficiently and/or you’ve cranked the heat up on a cold day or vice verse on a hot day, the stop-start will correctly not operate. First off, I’d like to correct a couple of misconceptions from other reviews listed here, “The auto stop-start has a mind of its own”, this is exactly how it’s designed to work. We bought the car new two and a half months back. ![]()
