Any love for Suzuki Vitaras?

There is no section on Suzuki Vitaras. Anyone own or have driven the 1.4 mild hybrid? Impressions?

I have a manual 2018 1.6 petrol version. Before this, I had a 2005 Ignis Sport for 12 years so I like the robust, primitive, reliable character of these cars. Also they are very light for modern days. My Ignis was 980kg while the Vitara is 1180kg or so.

For the same price you could get cars with more soft touchy feely surfaces with better Android or Iphone apps but I like the simplicity of the Vitara which makes for low maintenance and cheap to run.

I get 48mpg from my 1.6 but the ride can be quite harsh for a family car. Other than that it does what it says on the tin. I've owned it for three years so far and hopefully will keep for another 8-10 years.
