Replying to: mixbrix2 (Oct 20, 2005 8:55 am) What kind of gas mileage have you been getting? I am getting about 19 combined with 1,700 miles on it. Replies to this message: ecolon (Oct 20, 2005 5:47 pm)

Replying to: ecolon (Oct 20, 2005 5:37 pm) I picked up the 2006 catalog at my Suzuki dealer. I have already purchased the painted rear spoiler, envelope style cargo net and the sliding tray for under the passenger seat. I figured I can use this to store items. They also have a "Suzuki Works" Exhaust tip that I want to get. I also wanted to see the roof rack cross bars. They look to big and bulky in my opinion. Accessories are expensive for this thing. They should have a PDF File posted on the wqebsite shortly.
#45 of 1006 strange burning smell?? by dan5150 Oct 21, 2005 (1:33 pm)
I have about 300 miles on my 2006 grand vitara premium.I love this suv,but occasionally there is a burning smell coming from somewhere when I am driving it hard or going up a steep hill.When I test drove a few kia sportages they had a similar smell to them and I found out kia sprays the undreside of there cars with a protective sealer to protect them from the sea water and salty air.This burns off after a few hundred miles.I hope this is the case with my new grand vitara!!Any feedback would be great!!

#46 of 1006 Love the GV by manifold Oct 21, 2005 (6:22 pm)
I just got my new silver metallic premium 4x4 auto GV also. It is sweet indeed. Its also my first suv. I was really looking/testing Jeeps, Rav 4s etc and GVs never even crossed my mind. Till I saw one pull out of a garage and whoa! I thought it was some kind of new euro suv till I saw the badge. Could not believe it. Went to the dealer next day and I knew I was leaving with one.   I definetely recommend the truck. On the freeway, it feels like your riding on rails. Very precise, stable and quiet. Interior is just all around quality. Easy to use controls. Engine is ok and did not feel underpowered. Space is great and I didnt feel cramped like I was on a Liberty. Center of gravity is lower and I didnt have the tipping sensation as I did with the Liberty. Visibility is great and I didnt have to strain to see anything on the road. Lots of safety features. The $29k Jeep Liberty 3.7 Limited I test drove didn't even come with side or curtain airbags =(.   Definitely get one. It's a winner all around.

Replying to: dan5150 (Oct 21, 2005 1:33 pm) I have detected a burning smell occasionally also. I've had my 06 GV 2 days. I purchased the premium pkg and so far very satisfied. Replies to this message: mixbrix2 (Oct 22, 2005 4:07 am) budman3 (Nov 23, 2005 5:03 am)

Replying to: manitowoc (Oct 21, 2005 8:37 pm) I have 1400 miles on mine now and still get the burning smell sometimes. I figured it was paint and such burning off the new parts. So far it's gotten exactly 20 mpg on every fill up, all around town miles. Am curious to see what it gets on a trip. Couldn't be happier with it. I think if anyone test drives one, they'll buy it. I was all set to buy a Kia Sorento, after looking at them several times. Just happened to pass the Suzuki dealer and saw a line of these out front. After the test drive, the hardest part was picking out the color, they all look good. Replies to this message: budman3 (Nov 23, 2005 5:03 am)
#49 of 1006 Grand Vitara - wrecked by navigator89 Oct 22, 2005 (6:36 am)
Off topic, but anyway.   Today I saw a silver Grand Vitara wrecked by the side of the freeway. Since it was introduced just recently, it must have been only a few months old. Nearby I saw a pre 95 Lincoln Town Car with it's front slightly damaged in. The Grand Vitara was off the highway with it's doors and front all bashed. The Town Car definitely did much better in the crash. Good old American iron!   Quite a shame, a new vehicle and irreparably damaged already.   Thought maybe you Grand Vitara owners might be interested in knowing how it fared in a crash.

Replying to: navigator89 (Oct 22, 2005 6:36 am) A larger vehicle with more mass would undoubtably do more damage to a vehicle with less mass. Hopefully the occupants of the GV were protected by the airbag system and the structural reinforcement built in the GV.
