Buying Advice

If you're in the market for a compact SUV, the 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara is a capable option. Priced at a base MSRP of $19,099, it competes with the Honda CRV, the Mazda CX-5, and the Ford Escape. With a choice of two powertrains, including a 3.2L V6 option, it offers decent performance. The Grand Vitara provides a spacious cargo capacity and an extensive list of standard features. However, it's important to note that the engine can be noisy, and it may not offer the most comfortable long-distance driving experience. The lack of interior storage compartments is another consideration. For 2010, a standard navigational system, Bluetooth, and an auxiliary audio jack are available on most trims.
