Suzuki Grand Vitara Problems

It's becoming a broken record, because the CX-5 gets The Tick and is best in class. The new Vitara is roomy and well built, just flawed by an awful automatic gearbox.

It’s a pity you left it so long before booking it in, but I would again contact Suzuki and explain your dilemma and ask for their help again.

I agree with you that a two-year-old car like yours should not have creaking noises in it, and certainly not ones that can't be fixed. Take the car back to the dealer and ask them to explain to you where the creaking is coming from. If it is coming from the body, due the wear and tear, it is completely unacceptable and says much about the standard of Suzuki's engineering. If it's from the suspension, then it can be fixed.

For something fuss-free and good value on the used front, I'd suggest a Suzuki Grand Vitara. It's classy, a good size and can handle some off-road work.

I recommend the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which has a great reputation. If you're looking at a Toyota you'll also have to pay more as everyone wants the security of brand T.

There is a wide choice of SUVs that might fit your needs, but one that I would suggest if off-road performance is a priority for you is the Suzuki Grand Vitara. It's a dual-range wagon with good off-road capability and fits within your budget.

My calculations are that $120 would be payable by the purchaser on transfer of the ownership.

You left out my choice, which is the Kia Sportage.

Suzuki is a classy brand and the Grand Vitara gets The Tick, even if I'm not a fan of the constantly variable transmission.
