Hello there,
I'm new to this forum. These day I'm looking forward to a 2007-2009 made Grand Vitara. Could someone give me certain advice? I'm mostly an urban and countryside driver, not a hardcore off-road cowboy at the moment.
1. Diesel and Petrol engine, which one have a more durable and solid performance? In personal, I prefer diesel engine which are general solid and durable. However I see there some post saying the Renault-built Diesel engine get certain issue due to the particulate filter. Any comments?
2. I'm looking forward for a 3dr version since mostly no passenger on my ride. Any good with 5dr?
3. Any good mechanics for regular maintenance and pre-purchase inspection? I'm based in south London, Croydon area.
4. Any precaution when checking the car on visit?
Thank you!
Joe
