I'm new to this forum, but have been reading your posts for a week or so.
I'm about (within the next 3 weeks) to order a 2009 Diesel Suzuki Grand Vitara.
I'm very impressed with the vehicle - mainly with its fuel economy, the apparent standard of build (compared to something like the X-Trail), its off road credentials, and the overall look of the beast.
I'm able to spend a bit more than the $36,990 for the base vehicle and have asked for a quote on the following extras:
Aluminium bullbar
Winch
Rola Roof Racks
18" mag rims with a 90/10 (90% road, 10% off road) tyres
A set of Sunrasia rims with offroad dedicated tyres (the plan is to swap them over whenever I plan on some serious bush bashing)
A tow kit
Spot lights
I figure that if I can afford all this at once, I may as well do it and get the dealer to fit it all and sell as a package (under warranty maybe).
I plan on using this GV for general around town driving, trips down the coast and the occasional off road adventure.
Any tips/advice would be muchly appreciated
