General Comments
I have always thought of Vitaras as a little 'hairdressery' and of 4x4s in general as unnecessary on British roads until I saw a 2000 model Vitara 4u2 in a local car dealers. For some reason I had to have a look at this black and silver spotless example. I asked for a test drive, still dont know why, and was very pleasantly suprised by this car, excellent driving position and it came with both hardtop and soft tops. I purchased the car for £6500, 14k on the clock and truly unmarked, I have owned the car for a few months now and it is faultless, the 4 wheel drive proved a revelation in the snow we had recently and in short I would recommend this car to anyone, puts a smile on your face whenever you drive it and the only thing that will tempt me away from this car is the new model Grand Vitara, but for now the Suzuki is very much part of the family, buy one you wont regret it!
