#26 of 50 suzuki XL quality by Vipergg Jan 27, 2007 (4:54 pm)
How is Suzuki's long term quality? Debating a new 2007 model ,local dealer around here is selling the FWD version for $19995 which i consider pretty good . I am just a somewhat leary of Suzuki's quality for the term and don't want to be in the shop all the time even with a good warranty . Looks like a nice vehicle Like the Dark Cranberry one . A lot of the switchgear and radio inside looks like stock GM stuff , is this correct ? I knwo these are brand new but does anyone have any early opinions on this new model , they say it is a lot better than Chevy's Equinox or the Torrent ?

#27 of 50 2002 Xl7 by arkainzeye Jan 28, 2007 (12:05 pm)
i was wondering if anyone has a 2002 xl-7 here. i found one used and i am seriously thinking about getting it. is there any problem years to watch out for. what i mean is i have a 1999 chevy tracker, and i found out that 1999 was a bad year for the A/C units. well 2 years after i bought it the a/c completely failed. $$$$ and alot of others with a 1999 had the same problem. i was wondering if there are years like this for the xl7? and what kind of MPG are you getting with the 2.7 xl-7? basically i dont want to go through another case where i find out after i buy it that (xxxx) yr was a bad year to buy..

Listen carefully for any bicycle chain like rattle sound coming from the lower front of the engine. The 2002 and previous had issues with timing chain tensioner #1 not adjusting properly after some time. Mine had a warranty replacement for this in 2005 after 45K miles. I use only mobile1 5W30 in my truck. Also, look at the manufacture date. Trucks sold after August 2002 have the 7y/100K mile. warranty. Mine is one of them. I have had very few issues with my truck. She gets from 16 in the winter to 20-21 on the highway all year round. I average around 18mpg city/highway.   Regards,   Ivan, kc5yti 2002 XL-7+

Replying to: Vipergg (Jan 27, 2007 4:54 pm) We just bought the dark cranberry one. Very nice. I can't say for sure how well this XL-7 will treat us. It is a joint venture with GM. A blend of torrent, I dare not mention Equinox, with a touch of the SRX. She is about 35% japan parts, so the sticker says, so that makes me feel a bit better. I have had Suzukis since 2002. Not one major issue, except fot the tensioner issue that my XL-7 had after 45K miles. I have not been a fan of GM since my dreadfull run in with a 2000 Astro, traded for my XL-7 in 2002. The Astro spent almost as much time in the shop as our 1995 Neon. Both, lemons. Suzuki has never let me down, however, we are going down a new path here. We will see. I have heard that the 3.6l powerplant is a very good engine. Suzuki has licensed that engine and is producing it in Japan. The tranny is an Aisin unit that many of the Asian automakers use. So not many concerns there. We will see. As for Suzuki, I would recommend them to my friends. I will by another Zuk someday soon.   Regards,   Ivan, kc5yti 2002 XL-7 2007 XL7 Replies to this message: astrovette (Sep 29, 2007 5:49 pm)
#30 of 50 Business Week Review by guxu Feb 02, 2007 (3:20 pm)
The reviewer does not know how to access the 3rd-row seats, so he said it was "nearly inaccessible"   Business Week Review Replies to this message: kc5yti (Feb 04, 2007 6:48 pm) guxu (Feb 06, 2007 8:08 am)

Replying to: guxu (Feb 02, 2007 3:20 pm) Wow, no kidding. The reviewer needs to learn how to read a manual. My kids know to operate the middle seats. The 2007 XL7 third row is easy to get in compared to the 2002 XL-7 that I have. however, I can get my fat but in each. The 2007 is far more roomy back there. The seat is slightly more narrow, but the leg room is improved. I do wish they could have left much of the GM influence on the table, but it did show up in the console, engine, and body. Only small things that bother me, but all in all, the SUV is nice. I can't call it a truck anymore.   Regards,   Ivan, kc5yti Replies to this message: guxu (Feb 06, 2007 8:08 am)

#33 of 50 07 xl7 on the side of the road by redjackal Apr 11, 2007 (4:39 pm)
I almost bought one a few weeks ago, but decided not to. Then today I spot a white xl7 on the side of the freeway and thought, Wow its breaking down already? Then, to my surprise, 2 miles further on the opposite side of the freeway was another black xl7 on the side! What are the odds of that? I don't know what to make of it.
#34 of 50 XL-7 vs. RAV4 or Outlander by spaceman210 Apr 20, 2007 (5:01 pm)
Did any of you folks loving the XL-7 drive the '07 Outlander or RAV4 V6 before deciding? What did you find superior about the XL-7 apart from seating? thanks Replies to this message: guxu (Apr 23, 2007 8:36 am)

Replying to: spaceman210 (Apr 20, 2007 5:01 pm) I did test drive Outlander. It is a very cool small SUV, much smaller than XL7. The outlander is not as smooth or quiet as XL7.   Outlander has a very simple folding chair style 3rd row seat, which even kids do not want to sit in. But I guess it is not worse than Highlander. Outlander does not have rear AC control either.
