I completely agree with you. My biggest advantages of Vitara are: 1. The 1.4T engine is so punchy and fast (but not thirsty) 2. The seats are big, soft and comfortable 3. Suspension is nicely balanced, soft and relaxed, but firm in corners. 4. Outside is small, but inside is big (enough), and boot is OK for its class. 5. Kerb weight is very low, car is so light and dynamic. The biggest downsides are: steering-its not precise, and shifting-long and noisy (but gear ratios are fine).

I have always loved this car and even more so with the addition of the booster jet engine. It is a nice alternative to the likes of VW or any of these mainstream car brands. The panoramic sunroof is epic. However, I do feel like it's tad bit pricey for a car its size. One could perhaps look at the Haval Jolion Super lux for 400k with all the bells and whistles. Perhaps i am comparing apples with oranges, but these are my sentiments after watching. Please consider adding more angles of the car e.g I'd like to see what you're seeing ahead of you when you're driving ect. Keep up the great work.

Oh Hello Ziphorah 😅

Good one bro, what I noticed from the review is that the car looks and feels enjoyable to drive, it allows the driver to kind of have a sporty feel of it but for it's pricing and its interior design, I feel like it's a lot of money for a dull interior, for just below R400 000 the new Haval has more features and is more luxurious but I can give them the fuel efficiency one, anything less than 10L/100km traveled is really not bad. I'm still waiting for that Mazda 2 review bro

Yes it really is a fun car to drive. Yeah I agree with the interior comparing it to the Haval but we need to take into consideration that the Haval is a new car compared to the Suzuki. The Vitara is a 2018/19 vehicle so it's already on the back foot but I can't take away what Haval pricing is doing. No one can compete there at the moment. Mazda is a tough brand brother, I've been trying to get their vehicles for the longest of times but hopefully one of these days something will give.

I've seen many motoring journalists review the Hilux so I beg of u, pls do a detailed review of HILUX

Necessary details right there Nicky.👌🏾 I have to say the dash layout has always been my downside of it since the exterior still gets in even today. We tend to forget that it has been around for quite some time. They can facelift it and update the interior though. I mean the updated Tiguan just came back to life and they will get a chance to work on the lights and sunroof (that's a serious matter in a country dominated by sunny skies). On the driving, did you drive it with at least 3 more people and maybe a packed boot? Because once I mix that with aircon, Haval H2 with almost similar power figures feels like I am pulling a load full of bricks🤔

Thank you 😅 As for a load of bricks 🤣 Yes I did, don't know how the Suzuki did it but it didn't struggle when I drove with 4 extra people. It was very capable

@@SwitchOffSouthAfrica Well, so far, the only "low power" car I know not affected by the high operating aircon is Kia Sonet EX Manual. I just checked the kerb weight on the Vitara and it appears that it is way lighter compared to the H2. Its like +/-1.3ton and H2 is +/-1.6ton. Which will explain that torque steer. At such a light weight (if the quick google search is telling the truth on the weight), then the power is capable of sending the wheels up a bit before you can put them down.🤔 I experienced this in the H6, the fwd variant is struggling to put the power down from standstill.

I love this under dog

Has anybody given the Vitara 1.4 boosterjet mild hybrid a Remap?
