Replying to: navigator89 (Sep 22, 2005 1:08 pm) I actually narrowed it down between an 06 Honda Civic and the Suzuki GV. Some of my gripes are: 1) I wish it had a Navigation system. 2) There is more road noise than I expected. 3) Not many storage places. Overall I am very pleased with it. I hope the reliability is there. I just installed a Parrot Bluetooth Car Kit and had the windows tinted. I am also concerned with the mileage. I am hoping I can get at least 21 MPG combined driving. The last problem is the instant MPG reading. It will go from 5 MPG at start and go up to 99MPG while crusing. It is annoying, or you can turn it off completely. No in between.
#23 of 1006 Anyone else purchase a 2006 GV by boiko Sep 25, 2005 (3:42 pm)

#24 of 1006 Rear seat room? by dannyka Sep 25, 2005 (7:16 pm)
Hi all,   According to the specs on the reat seat, it has hip room of 44". That is barely wider than the rear seat of a Wrangler! I've sat in the back of a Wrangler, and I can tell you that two wide is all you want to put back there. The GV is advertised as a 5-seater.   Those of you who have seen it (or own it), just how is the rear seat room? Is it really meant for two? Would three kids fit okay back there? (By "kids" I mean a teen, a tweener, and a rather squigly 9-year old.)   I haven't been able to get to my local, friendly, neighborhood Suzuki dealer yet, so I don't know firsthand. Any information you could give me would be great! One of these days I'll actually make it to the dealer...   Thanks, --Dan Replies to this message: packaging pro (Sep 26, 2005 4:22 am)

Replying to: dannyka (Sep 25, 2005 7:16 pm) I now have 300 miles on mine. I filled up 3/4 of the way through and I was getting 21 MPG. I do a lot of city driving and it's not broken in yet. I am very happy with this vehicle. It gets better and better the more I drive it. I do have some complaints, but if you look at the price, you have to make compromises. As far as back seat space goes, it is very tight for 5 people. It is fine for 3 small kids. I have two car seats in mine and there is room in the center for me to stack my folders for work, etc. I also like that this is all Japanese. It is not built on the GM Theta platform like the Equinox etc. The new XL-7 is and will be built in Canada. Fit and Finsih is great. Very solid vehicle. I would recommend it.
#26 of 1006 Hood by bodble2 Oct 05, 2005 (12:35 am)
What is that little rectangular indentation under the hood line right near the base of the A-pillar? Almost looks like a grab-handle to open the hood. Is the hood a front-hinged design ala Corvette?

Replying to: bodble2 (Oct 05, 2005 12:35 am) That is decorative. The Suzuki accessories catalog has chrome ones also. Replies to this message: ecolon (Oct 20, 2005 5:37 pm) packaging pro (Oct 20, 2005 7:13 pm)
#28 of 1006 Just bought an 06 by mixbrix2 Oct 05, 2005 (5:17 am)
It's replacing an Olds Bravada. Much more impressed with the Suzuki than the "luxury" Bravada. Plenty of head and leg room, great styling and standard equipment. So far it's been getting 20 mpg around town, and I haven't been babying the gas pedal. Seems exceptionally quick and the ESP is outstanding.

Replying to: mixbrix2 (Oct 05, 2005 5:17 am) Is yours a 2WD Model? Replies to this message: mixbrix2 (Oct 07, 2005 4:53 pm)

Replying to: packaging pro (Oct 05, 2005 12:50 pm) Yes, I opted for the 2WD. With the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and traction control, it handles quite well on wet roads. I've tried to spin it out, taking off around corners, but it won't let me. Handles nothing like a regular rear wheel drive vehicle.
