It all depends what you want really.

Most standard vitaras have a similar 1.6 engine. There are tin tops, tin top long wheel base, and soft tops.

Then there is the Grand Vitara which is available with quite a few different engines and shapes.

What kind of age are you looking for? What's your rough budget?

Hi thank you for replying. As its my first car upto 900 is the budget. Don't want a big engine to start with because of the insurance. Got a few quotes for fully comp 1,500 for the year. Not too bad would you say? I'm wanting to get spot lights and bull bars? If not already on the car. Also prob get it sprayed pink lol ;-D

Sounds like what you want to find is a Rossini edition vitara.
