Suzuki Grand Vitara JB / JT.II 5 Door Navigator (2014-2018)

reliable.Surefooted on the bad corrugations and in the bulldust.Did not even rattle.Engine temp remained at all times half way between C and H.

I am enormously impressed by it,particularly bearing in mind it its modest cost and that it was unmodified except for AT tyres.Most 4wds I saw in the outback must have cost a few times more than this car and could not have done any better.To top it off,it is also a practical and nimble car about town.
