After a recent 6 hour motorway trip O can honestly say I had never felt less tired and frayed at the end of a long journey. The seats are comfortable and we've had heated seats fitted by the dealer as it's not an optional extra in the UK. I also have Seat Leon 180hp 2.0 diesel company car but always prefer to take the Vitara as it’s so much more fun. The gear box is a bit clunky from 1st to 2nd but this will probably improve as we’ve only covered 2300 miles so far. The sat-nav works very well although the display is a little narrow top to bottom. The steering could do with more feel but day-to day its fine. It’s an excellent motorway cruiser when the adaptive cruise control is turned on which works a treat, it’s a capable town-cum-shopping car and is good fun on the twisties. I’m getting 38mpg round town, 46-50mpg on the motorway driving in the low 70’s mph and a recent half hour gentle run between 30 and 60mph got 55mpg and then I caned it for the return journey in sport mode and got 35mpg. I was mindful of the often-reported overly sensitive brake radar system. That said, the tailgate does need a firm push to close. It still has a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating. If you do your homework you will find that Suzuki have made use of high tensile light weight steel to save weight. If the engine has not warmed up sufficiently and/or you’ve cranked the heat up on a cold day or vice verse on a hot day, the stop-start will correctly not operate. First off, I’d like to correct a couple of misconceptions from other reviews listed here, “The auto stop-start has a mind of its own”, this is exactly how it’s designed to work. We bought the car new two and a half months back.
