GV3 !!

http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic144064.php&highlight=3door+viatara

this is exactly what i was looking for and suzuki finally made it!!! luckily enough its been a while and after looking at a wrangler and the old suzuki i didnt end up buying anything ...

ok guys i went for a testdrive in one on sat... drives really nice!!!(unfortunately i couldnt take it 4x4ing :( )haha

looks like ill be getting this car..

seems that suzuki has compensated the 3 door with a 4.6:1 diff ratio which i guess is probably good enough for beaching??

your opinions would ...

my m8 had a 2001 wrangler. awsomely fun car but it drinks waaaaay too much. he got 350kms from a 70ltr? tank. also for the size of the engine, its torque was kinda disapointing. if i had to choose between 4wd GV and wrangler id choose the wrangler simply because the new ones are a better desing and ...

I dunno but a Jimny automatic gearbox costs $8500 from Suzuki, so let's say the cost of adding a transfer case would be prohibitive.

Imagine suzuki offered a 2.0 SWB GV with a transfer case for $29,000 and continued to sell the 1.6 AWD for $24000. For me, the pricing looks about right. Problem is ...

i agree with everybody on the drive line, it is possible as there is a lever under the car to put it into low range but it would take alot of work to fab the parts for a switch on the dash.


I was led to beleive this to be the case by a Suzuki Tech but I have since been informed by another that ...

i agree with everybody on the drive line, it is possible as there is a lever under the car to put it into low range but it would take alot of work to fab the parts for a switch on the dash.

so the car actually has low range? why would they go to as far as having a dual range on the car but not to ...

Suzuki is being thrashed in the market by all bringing out small soft roaders that ride like cars and suzuki ...

whats the tire size/suspension brand?

maybe go the jimny then but theyve never really appealed to me.

more ppl should go in and say to Mr Suzuki to stop prancing around with his new soccer mum vitaras and make them like he use to. then at least the mums can drive them and when the guy wants to go out and play, he can. simple commone ...

been seeing some videos on youtube on 3 doors.. they dont seem to go too bad at all on sand/dirt!!

id prefer petrol... yeah and im not moving to NZ anytime soon lol

i believe yours would have hi/low range though yeah? the one i want to get is a AWD... no hi/low, just constant 4wd, i think 98 was the year when they had both vitaras(last of the old shape) and grand vitaras.

Thanks for your reply also

cool!! hopefully! i dont see myself doing anything further than that... although i did get my sierra bogged at stockton on very soft sand, mind you its all stock! im gonna go test drive on saturday hopefully it will be all ok
looked at the 5 door as well, but way too big for me.. although it is a ...

yes i know what you mean.. i cant justify having 2 cars though, considering i dont really do that much 4wheeling, and i dont actually have the space for it!has you mate taken it down the beach at all??

Hi all,

At the moment i own a suzuki sierra 91(love it like everyone else). i use this car for work and the occasional recreation outting on the dunes/beach.

Now im looking at buying something brand new as the sierra is on its way out. Been looking at either the 08 jimny or the 3 door vitara. Now ...
