Dzięki. Sam sie wtedy zdziwiłem jak dobrze sobie Vitara poradziła.

Indeed. Winter is magical when there is snow and ice.

Nice to hear you like it. This is not very ipopular ganra:) My one is pure gasoline. Recently I decided to buy manual winch but a bit better quality. Still no chance to test it. With full blown electric winch, I am not sure if even there is a sensible place to mount it...

Rather low. But I guess radiator is not main concern in such case.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 Ok! Thanks. I would be worried to hit any hidden debris, but i guess you check for that before wading with a car.

@Johnfranorge I always check in such sittuation. Here water was not deep and clear. But otherwise I have wellingtons with me in the trunk. If not too deep for wellingtons, should be ok for Vitara;)

Greetings, Suzuki Grand Vitara, nice choice. I hope some features from Grand Vitara will be moved to new Suzuki Vitara next year. But probably not :/

Manual.

🙂 Glad it was helpful. Welcome in the club. Where are you from?

@@OutdoorAdventure0 Slovakia originally, but living in Serbia at present.

So not so far away from Poland. Always interesting where Suzuki is working well. Now I see you have S-Cross, not Vitara. I think not a big difference in fact.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 Very few Suzuki's here in Serbia. They are more popular in Slovakia (and Hungary, of course) than here.

Great. Another positive review.🙂 Not much winter conditions in Poland recently, so even no chances to test, by myself in snow.

In winter I have Dunlop Winter Sport 5. They never failed me. For summer I have Cooper Discoverer AT.

Hi. I have no issues with engine till now. No issues in general at all. As for a cheap car, Vuatar still is, having of around 9sec to 100km I thing is good result. 140hp is solid for me. Of course there is some small turbo hole until 2000rpms. But manageable. This 140hp provide good power in situations like in the video.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 thank you for the reply! this is very helpfull!

My engine is 140hp turbo gasoline. The last one without hybrid addition.

Prosze. Wciąż polecam ten kajak po paru latach. Wciąż mi służy chociaż wymieniłem teraz już na lepszy model. Intexy się do niego nie umywają. Jedynie musiałem kupić nowe siodełko. Bo stare się zużyło.

Hej. Wciąż je używam w lecie. Generalnie na nie nie narzekam. Chociaż nie miałem okazji na jakieś bardzo ekstremalne przetestowanie ich w terenie. Tam gdzie jeździłem po błocie bylo ok. Musisz jednak uważać na asfalcie gdy jest mokry. Trzeba zmniejszyć prędkość tak o 10-20km. Nie trzymaja tak dobrze jak fabryczne continentale.

Thanks for your kind comment. Great motivation to record next ones.🙂

Indeed. Still not disappointing me. I need to post long time review finały.

:) Hi from Poland

Probably heavier the car more issues it would have. Unless better tires.

Do you have manual or automatic transmission? I tried also with OBD measurements. But I didn't have better results. Maybe change of mapping is than needed.

I am trying to haunt down some used cheap chains for such task. :) But separate problem is when you will hang between ruts. Chains will not help :(

No. Standard 1.4 Gasoline ~140HP. This was before mild hybrid was introduced. No auto transition. Some guys with auto transition said, they had even better results. And Gasoline was just plain PB 95 octane. So nothing fancy. You have reminded me, I need to redo tests with OBD tester and with stronger gasoline :)

In most parts car can drive with 2WD. Problem starts where you have road covered with mud/water. Definitely in such situation, you use anything you have available to not stuck in the mud, even 2Wd could be maybe enough. But you never know fully, what kind of mud you have in front of you and how deep. Every soil type can differ and can have different effect on your tires. 4WD will provide you more control and ability to exit unexpected situation. And bigger margins for errors.

Hello :) Are you owner or just thinking about it? :)

@@OutdoorAdventure0 Thinking about buying one of these. I am a Hunter and I currently have a Toyota Landcruiser Prado which is a full size 4x4 but to get to my off-road hunting/hiking spots, I rarely need to use the 4x4

Landcruiser is a real deal :) If I would have it, I wouldnt change ;) Unless you want to save money on gasoline, etc ;) Probably Landcruiser is gasoline hungry ;)

Hi. Hope you have plenty places there to off road. I was in south of England, Devon, and there was not much - most terrain is private and fenced.

What model do you have exactly? And what year? I have dial to change to Snow or Sport and two buttons - one to go to Auto and other "LOCK".

Dunlop Winter Sport 5

Hi, S Cross is so underestimated. But I guess it had same potentials as Vitara. Hope You have lot of fun in Scotland. And not everything fenced.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 Thanks 😊 , there are a few wild places to go adventures - Galloway forest is near me ,lots of dirt tracks with roads over the mountains

Unfortunately, mountains in Poland are mostly off limit(as a forest areas). It is illegal to go into most forests with car in Poland (even they are public). Of course I heard some guys are not obeying rules always to full extend ;) In Poland plains are mostly private, but rarely fenced, so sometimes you can drive on these, especially in winter. But best not to destroy crops. :)

Hi, sorry for late reply. My one is 1.4 Turbo Gasoline. Very nice engine. In Europe they have discontinued Diesel Suzuki completely (ridicules climate policies). 5 years ago there was Diesel, but it was a bit less stronger (120 HP I think). I havent heard anything bad about Suzuki Diesel, so maybe this is good sign.

Thanks :) It was nice trip. Pefect conditions to test in some mild mud.

Many thanks!

Thanks, hat was one of my first videos. But I guess most popular :)

Thanks. another one from winter is comming, but less extreme this time :) Regarding tires. Better winter ones than summer "road" ones. :) I think winter ones are not far worse than AT. They are softer and have some visible tread in comparison with summer road tires. However, hard to do one to one tests ;) But they have saved me already in some bad situations.

I think it is 10HP less than my one. 95km is 130 HP. The difference in off-road wont be maybe so drastic. Still this is light car. And you can probably map engine differently, to have power back ;) Same engine but tuned down due to stupid "eco" laws.

First - I swap Winter to Summer (solution for you depends where you live). Winter ones are enough for me during Winter for most conditions - In general less mud in Winter, but even some mud - winter ones can handle good, Snow is handled very good with them. For Summer I changed to Cooper AT tires. They are only ones which had exactly matching size. You can go with a bit oversized Yokohama AT probably. ATs had some disadvantages on the road (they dont grip asphalt so well as default tires). Default tires had not good grip in any conditions with muddy or wet terrain. So choice depends how you plan to use your car. I still drive with AT majority of my time even it is mostly on Asphalt (but I don't drive any more like in Sport car ;)).

:P What is a puddle for some, for SUV is deep water ;)

You welcome. they are not bad. I didnt dig myself in with this ones till now.

Glad to hear :) You must be smart with it, but this is capable car :)

Thanks :) Hopefully I will have chance to visit Brazil, some day. It is on my list. And I meet lot of people speaking Portuguese in my work. Greetings from Poland. :)

2019 - still good year without any Hybrid ;)

Yeah, approach Angle is painful from time to time. I often hit ground with bumper. And if you hit hard, your "radar" may need re-calibration. I am considering if there is possibility to customize car in this regard. Ground clearance for its segment, is in the middle in comparison to other cars, not bad, not perfect.

I think new Suzuki price is still not bad in the market, in comparison with the rest. The issue is "real" new off-road cars are crazy expensive. 3-4 times more than Suzuki, so for having 4x4 Suzuki is probably still good choice for some purposes.

I think Nissan may have also good 4x4 drive. I heard, same Nissans, but older(previous version) 4x4 is used in Dacia and it is not bad. Issue is that some years ago only top(most expensive) version of Nissan Qashqai had 4x4. It was much more expensive in comparison with Vitara. Not sure how is it now. Probably even used Nissan with 4x4 will be rare.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 thanks for reply. So I guess, if you want better/bigger 4x4 crossover, than Suzuki - prepare at least 10K more)

Verleidelijk ;) Maar deze keer niet. Wachten op beter ijs.

Thanks. Congratulations :) Welcome in the club :) Do bigger tires work well for you? No issues? Do they fit ok? When you will do the lift, let me know what are your impression about car stability in normal roads.

@@OutdoorAdventure0 hey! My setup is done, my car is already prepared with tires + lift. Ground clearance and breakover angles are the main gain by far. Both attack and departure angles are bit higher, but due to the characteristics of the project it's impossibile to have huge increases in this area. Firstly I drove for a few days only with the tire update. No problem at all. Tires are a bit harder, but without any considerable impact over comfort. These tires don't touch the internal parts, so it fits well. With tires + lift it's notable the visual change and also the feeling of driving in a higher position. I'm with the car for 30 days now. 2.000km so far, most of them in the highway using the stock setup. I only drove 100km with the new setup in urban areas. Soon I'll hit the road again and I'll also have the opportunity to do some off-road. I'll share my thoughts them.

I am very interested, waiting for your next update :)

@@OutdoorAdventure0 hi there! So far I drove 1.300km with the new setup. 50km off-road (light/medium, places acessible only by 4x4 vehicles), 1000km on the road (highways + minor roads), 250km in the city. My impressions: City: minor changes, but feels better to deal with roles and bumps on the way. The feeling of "driving from above" has increased and it's good as well. Highway/roads: car still having a good dynamics but it's quite easy to note a decrease in stability, grip and driving control. Not a big deal, still a great and well balanced vehicle, but with less capability to drive as fast as before due to the oscillations of the bodywork. Off-road: I don't have how to compare with the original setup but for sure there is a notable gain. Talking to some folks who owns Vitara or S-Cross I understand that the new angles and ground clearance delivers a safer experience through the trails. Tks!

I hope still your setup proof to be beneficial :) I like drive fast from time to time, so having AT tires was for me already some compromise :) Not sure if I will be able to slow down even more. You have it from day one, so you dont miss so much ;)

I replaced silver(chrome) with black ones, this is one of the customization possible. I think they came from black(pearl?) paint model.

Haha ;) Only profesional, being student of sail bow master.
