Used 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara for Sale

The price was right when I purchased my car new at $22.000. It has great road clearance for dirt roads or freeway. I didn't want a black car, and there was a good reason the paint had started fading out in about six years. The plastic lower body molding was a bust.

Story

Memorable story would being able to put my kayak inside my car because I'm too short to put it on top and having people looking at you wondering what's in your car.

Pros

I can slide my 8-ft. kayak from the back to the passenger seat up front with all my gear and have plenty of room. The ESP also saved my life; when I had someone try to sideswipe me, it kicked in and took control. Otherwise, I could have flipped the car.

Cons

Plastic body parts put together with plastic push pins. Terrible gas mileage, average is about 20 mpg. A little squirrelly in the wind. Bad paint. Maybe another color would have been better than black. Plenty of horsepower with v6.
