I first got my Suzuki xL7 in 2011 and the price was excellent. The main feature that I love about the vehicle is its outstanding 4 wheel drive. As an Alaskan resident, this feature saved me from being stranded in the snow multiple times. Another feature that is excellent is the lift. Being up and above other cars around me (even though it's a small SUV) is great for staying safe and avoiding accidents. I can see everything. The seats are comfortable and you can fit an army of passengers in the vehicle. All in all, the vehicle only gives me one real complaint: fuel economy. I think Suzuki could have done a lot better for gas mileage, considering how small the SUV's frame is. 24 Mpg is pretty awful, especially for an import. Other than that, I would recommend the car to anyone.

Our Suzuki is a previously water damaged vehicle with power locks and doors. A sunroof is included and rear third seat as well. I like that I can mostly comfortably fit my family of 5 inside without having to purchase a larger vehicle. The third seat room is the largest seemingly in its class on the market. The option of controlling temperature for the rear of the car is nice. I like that the car is mostly good on gasoline on the highway and includes an aux cable ability to connect to my smartphone for play. I like that the car includes latch for car seats and cruise control for long rides in the family car. I like that the Suzuki also has a rear window defrost and wiper feature. I dislike the alarm of the car and also the display on the dashboard. It looks a bit dated and while includes pertinent information is a bit standard. I like the height off of the ground of the vehicle as it doesn't seem prone to rolling over and is quite stable. I also like that the vehicle is compact to fit in a garage or parking spot but large enough to seat 7. I do wish that the third seat was a bit long and also the second seat in order to accommodate larger models of car seats being put out nowadays. I also wish that a latch function was available on the third seat.

I really like this vehicle. For a smaller brand car, it has been very durable. Overall the car is very durable, as I'm about to hit two hundred thousand miles this year. Which is pretty good for a thirteen year old car. Even though it has a weak engine, it has a truck frame so I can tow smaller things like a jet ski. Also with the small engine, it has a good exhaust note.
