My mind is far too amazing to solely review cars 😤Here is a link to another channel where I discuss science and philosophy: youtube.com/@mophosopher?si=3PEO6bIrilIbrGBd
I own this car since a couple of months now and I absolutely love it. I also drive a Peugeot 2008 from my company and in comparison I prefer my Vitara. The four cylinders 1.4 has plenty of torque and free from vibrations that you can't even tell if it's running or not. On the highway at 130kmh is not super quiet but also far from noisy. Steering wheel is very light though. These two aspects are remarkably different from this video. The display can be easily changed from the dash and you get plenty info such as fuel economy, tyre pressure, hybrid system etc. Quality of material is indeed not that great but this car is a joy to drive and to live with
My father in law has a vitara 1.6 allgrip. I drove it, up the hill on country side road, with gravel and stuff like that. Brilliant car! Good mpg! Good engine! Manual gearbox, very solid! I would say one of the best crossovers for a budget car!
Don't think you know much about cars. The Vitara is much better than the VW group cars. Why? Reliability reliability reliability. Plus the 1.4 booster jet engine is a peach. It's really fast for this type of vehicle and very refined. In the VW group cars the engines are troublesome long term. This fact has been documented in many car surveys. Stellantis for example Peugeot engines are poorly designed using a stupid and troublesome wet belt design. Suzuki vehicles are all about reliability,ease of ownership and longevity. Think you need to go get a bit more knowledge about cars before making an opinion.
@@6ixSpeedManual Unlike you I don't swear on a public forum. by the way its not my car. It is no more expensive than VW/ Stellantis group cars and if kept long term will be cheaper to run due to superior reliability and customer service. Go check out these fact for yourself they are freely available in the motoring press and on line. 😉😉
@@phil8437unlike you, I do. And to repeat myself it was cheaper on its release but inflated quicker compared to everything else. The price along with their reliability and durability was their entire competitive advantage as a business. If they aren’t cheaper they’ve lost their competitive advantage which leaves little incentive to now get the car new if consumers can buy a car about the same price that is superior in terms of quality.
@@phil8437and I can’t form an opinion on cars because I have no knowledge? Even if I don’t, what a moronic thing to say. Am I not allowed to form an opinion on food because of my limited culinary abilities?
@@6ixSpeedManual Suzuki 1.4 Boosterjet engine is better than the VW and Stellantis 3 cylinder equivalent. This is due to superior reliabiliity and quality of the engineering. These are the facts. If you don't believe me check out for yourself. Also ALL car brands today are too expensive and ALL car brands are much pricier than they were a few years ago. Ford Fiesta £16k in 2019 now £20k.
You made a lot of valid points. I am buying this car and I wanted to see what others think. I am getting this car mostly for its reliability but your review helps me know what to expect. Coming from an Audi A7 3.0T Quattro Prestige, it's going to be hard but I will get used to my base 1.6L non-turbo front-wheel-drive Suzuki Vitara which I expect to be a lot more reliable and more dependable than the Audi crap.
Look David I don’t really know what to tell you. You clearly own this car so any criticism I have for it will offend you. So I’ll tell you something you clearly don’t understand. People are allowed to have differing opinions and that’s ok. You decided to watch the entire video instead of clicking away just to have all the information before you made a hateful comment and I quite frankly commend the dedication. But you clearly have deep insecurities that you think will be alleviated through being hateful online. You have some maturing to do (and that’s coming from me). Wish you all the best Dave
@@6ixSpeedManual Dave, I can't see how honest criticism can be regarded as 'hateful'; it certainly wasn't intended as such. I don't own one, incidentally, but I did have it's predecessor, the MKIII Grand Vitara and it was one of the best vehicles I've ever owned - and that includes Mercedes and BMWs which were luxuries I could enjoy when they were company cars and I didn't have to foot the inflated service and repair bills. Call it feedback then, if you will, but I don't feel you did a fair, considered or objective review of the car.
To be honest,,, to be honest...to be honest!!! 😂😂😂 The Vitara is way cheeper than other cars in the same class here in Sweden, so therefore it is a better choice.
Wow you have such high standards for a budget car. The poor Vitara didn't stand a chance lol. Anyway, my Aunt has an allgrip version, and I absolutely love driving it. I'm contemplating getting one for me as well.
In romania you can get this car with a 10 year or 200.000km warranty. VW only offers 3 on their cars. It's not great looking, probabile not the best quality but for the same price you can get a 1.4 instead of a 1.0, a lot more options and a much better warranty. Is it the best car? NO. Is it the best deal for a new crossover at the moment? Probabile yes
I had 7 months Ssangyong Korando AT AWD Style Plus with digital dashboard. Very nice, silent, comfortable and spacious car, but piece of the junk with badly tuned electronic in all control units. I replaced it with Vitara 4x4 and I'm completely satisfied.
I bought this car for reliability and security (allgrip) because im always in the mountains. Its hard to find nowadays 4x4(electronic) in manual transmission.
I have 1.4t AWD Auto which was must for towing caravan and boat. Cons: wind noise especially in back seat, no volume control, on my 7inch screen volume stays where you left when car starts. On new 8inch if you don't want to listen to radio tough luck you have to turn volume down everytime car starts. Gimmicky console displays, only useful one is fuel ecomony, could've added oil, transmission temps or tire pressures. Pros: No problems towing 1000kg caravan, never found it lacking in power and that is towing over lot of steep windy roads, stayed with traffic and even passed campervan on passing lane. With 300kg boat and loaded car its like its not there for handling and ample power for sensible passing. I normally prefer manuals for towing but with 230nm at 1500rpm the 6spd auto is fine especially when sport mode is used on windy roads. The pad shifters are nice to have but something I rarely use. Quick and economical when lightly load, 6.2L per 100km on open road at 100kms. Love adaptive cruise control and safety stuffing like lane departure and collision detect flash on display occassionally but very rare to get beep out of them. We have mixed bag of new vehicles at work and some of their safety features beep every few minutes and half time don't know why. Don't know what long term reliability is on turbo but being Suzuki should be lot better than european competitors. Auto should be bullet proof if serviced regularly unlike DGS on competitors. I would avoid dry clutch DGS if towing they don't like heavy loads and don't think about trying to reverse caravan up steep hill, it'll cook them. The auto has one other advantage over DSG with these small turbo engines, helps soften power delivery. VW van with DSG can be handful sometimes when boost kicks in 2nd at roundabouts in wet. If driving hot hatch that be more or plus than minus. When comes to small SUVs with AWD for towing there isn't lot to choose from and most have DGS. In lot markets the AWD isn't offered. If you only need 2wd the Vitara wouldn't be my first choice but still worth test drive.
Seems everyone feels enlightened to post car reviews, irrespective of any qualification or experience in this field. How insolent to have a vocation by borroing mamas car. Seems most viewers figured this out by themselves. Driving a Suzuki Vitara Allgrip mild Hybrid after a 6 cylinder diesel Passat AWD, i did not expect the performance on asphalt like my old car, but the all-rounder capability and performance on the road but especially off-road and reliability, gives me no regret at all. 1 advice.... leave the car review to the professionals 🤣
Worst review I have ever heard. Were you expecting a million dollar car? For it's budget it's way more than perfect. I own this car and I am happy with it. Review something else. this is not your field.
I’ll review whatever the fuck I want. Of course you like the car you own it you moron. You would convince yourself you like the car even if you initially didn’t to avoid cognitive dissonance. Get off my channel weirdo
you tested the "Cool" 2WD version (the cheapest, it misses many features) and 1.0L engine (which is the weakest). 1.4L turbo "Top" 4WD version is completely different. Btw this car is brilliant, specially considering it has 4WD system... so it's a real SUV, not just a lifted normal car which cannot drive through 2 inches of snow. You just considered a bit too much things which are "not so relevant", while this car is much more solid than its competitors (in the same segment). Only Renegade and few others are comparable, if we talk about real B-SUV. Not the Captur nor the Kamiq...
I have a 1.6 petrol sz5 allgrip. It is slow in auto, however putting it in sport mode will liven up the performance. It's a great car. Very practical with lots of features. I would recommend buying one of these, but avoid the booster jet models. To much to go wrong. And only buy a diesel if you do lots of miles
You should try the Toyota equivalent of that car, they look about the same, but there are minor differences. Frankly I prefer the Toyota Styling wise, the infotainment is better too. We have one at home, belongs to my dad, it has a 1.5L mild hybrid engine, like you said it is not a sports car, If you drive it like a lunatic, you are going to end up in a ditch. No lie. It's not bad in my opinion. Strip the badge and it's a Suzuki in the end of the day, but not bad.
The Toyota Yaris Cross I believe? I drove the normal Yaris and it’s almost beyond belief how fuel efficient it is. Infotainment and controls are much better as well. It is a very good car all round. Only issue is that it’s a touch more pricey
@@6ixSpeedManual I think he is talking about the Toyota Urban Cruiser which is sold in African Markets and is based on the Vitara Brezza which again is sold in Africa Markets. Its a smaller car that warrants that 1.5l engine
How does this car fare offroad? Older generations of this car were well known for their offroad capability and still affordable, some sort of Lada Niva. Dunno if they retained it. I do not like suvs and crossovers either, but Suzuki Vitara has a heritage unlike most stellantis crap for example.
The Comments here, are more a review of the Reviewer than the Car. Hence, the low subs. The Suzuki, SZ5 is Great. The Reviewer would do well to research the Owners of theses Cars first.

Great vid bro😂😂
Innit, ya get me, to be honest
never driven a four cylinder? damn
