i think its a good idea to get a small 'PETROL' sticker and paste it on the fuel lid. not totally idiot-proof, but definitely a precaution. | |

AND great for long distance, off-roading prowess .. I guess the only thing missing is either diesel fuel costs or better petrol fuel efficiency.. but then you cant ask for it all..My first impressions were good, i will now go ask for a test drive..Thanks samurai and enjoy your vehicle - you seem to go where no normal mangalorian 4 wheeler does not go.. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() The same thing is happening to me when I fill up my SX4. And its even in the Shell outlets!Guess these vehicles arent popular enough yet for the attendant to recognise the fuel type immediately. And this is inspite of having the "Petrol" sticker on the fuel flap!!! |

| ![]() Samurai, Can your GV's display switch between instantaneous and average fuel consumption? If yes, in the average mode, what does it average over (last n km or last n seconds or something else)? Also, here is a forum for all GV owners (you may already be using it, just sharing for the benefit of others): 2G (2006+) Grand Vitara - Suzuki Forums: Suzuki Forum Site Last edited by anandpadhye : 12th November 2007 at 16:36. |

Do you feel any perceptible sluggishness compared to the Baleno in our day to day driving conditions? The reason I ask is - I am preparing myself to take the plunge and just want to know what to expect. I currently drive NHC iDSI which is not a fast car as per T-BHP standards, but I find it quite adequate (in fact low end torque is just amazing). Of course, being a Honda it has crisp and feather touch gearshift and lovely FE (13 - 14 in City). So, will life be a hell if I switch over to GV? Still waiting for the test drive of the manual...Maruti has made a mess with selling all A/Ts to the dealers here for the TD vehicles. | |

| ![]() Hey, I totally missed this. Really good pics and nice wheels. I get the feeling you are going to make the most of this 4x4. |

| ![]() May god give you worse roads for your GV everyday. (if god doesn't, govt will) congrats for the buy. I was also seriously considering GV here in states, but i was only going to do highways, and there were more refined options for that. |

Frankly, you should buy the GV if the terrain demands it, like in my case. If you are going to use it as an urban crawler, you are not really making the best use of your money. | ||||||
