any suzuki owners out there?

looking for a not too pricey SUV. was consideing nativa, CRV, RAV4 and grand vitara.

 

from the reviews i have read, i think the V6 grand vitara seems like
the nicest balance between a good ride on the roads and decent 4 wheel
drive capabilities.

 

i am noticing more grand vitaras on the road, and i'm wondering if they are becoming more accepted in Doha.

 

what are suzuki like for service, and resale value?

 

thanks.

thanks - great info.

 

in doing some research, it seems to be that the grand vitara is the only small SUV with any decent 4WD capability.  drivearabia.com said it was great on safety and built very solidly.

 

glad to hear some real world experience to back it up.

 

any idea when the service centre is supposed to open up?

Well, I own a Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 Version brought last year.

 

Itz superb on the roads and off roads. Excellent steering capability. Refined looks. Compact and easy to park. Behaves well at all times.

 

What more you could ask for......go for it!

 

Grand Vitara has good resale value compared to other vehicles in Suzuki.

 

People often are quite concerned about resale value's and they always name Toyota & Honda......I don't find anything special in these SUV's or Car's. More or less the same with few hitchbacks.

 

Suzuki has improved its Grand Vitara V6 in all ways. Ask for a test drive from the dealer.

 

The after sales services are pretty good and the service center is located in the Industrial Area which is a bit tiring to reach the location during peak hours.

 

Moreover, they are planning to open up a service centre in or near Villagio which will make it more convinient for people like me to get the Vehicle serviced within city limits.

 

For accident repairs, you will have to make it to the service centre in Industrial area.

 

Hope this info works well for you.

 

Good Luck!
