2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-Door
Suzuki's compact and sporty SUV makes alot of sense. It's just about
compact enough to fit in your pocket, but hauls alot more fun than your
average sedan without the hedonistic SUV fuel expenditure. This 2-door
convertible model brings fresh-air right to the driver's seat experience
as you fold back the canvas top and rev it up. Along with the fresh-air
experience comes a fresh new look to the cabin for 2003.
Available Models
Basically Suzuki has simplified the trims for this year with two straightforward
picks: rear 2-wheel drive, and 4-wheel drive both dressed with the same
interior, exterior, and under-the-hood features.
Interior Features
Standard interior features for the 2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-door include air
conditioning, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, AM/FM stereo
with an in-dash CD, micron air filtration system, automatic lighting,
tilt steering wheel, tachometer, and split-folding rear seat. The interior
volume of the 2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-door is 103.8 cubic-feet. Move whomever
and whatever you need.
Exterior Features
The best exterior feature of the 2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-door is the convertible
part. A canvas folding top with removable windows helps you cruise closer
to the scenery. Other standard exterior features of the Vitara include
daytime running lights, 16-inch sport-styled steel wheels, halogen headlamps,
and an easy-open tailgate.
Performance
Pop the hood and peruse a 2.0-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine with 127 horsepower
@ 6000 rpm, and 134 lb-ft of torque @ 3000 rpm. You can choose a 5-speed
manual or 4-speed automatic transmission that gets an estimated 22/25
(city/hwy) mpg. Suzuki has also included its zero-maintenance, self-adjusting,
two-stage metal timing chain that saves you hundreds down the road, so
you can pack on the miles with scarcely a second thought. With the 4-wheel
drive option, you will find a shift-on-the-fly feature for added traction
control the moment any slippery situation arises. A five-link, coil-spring
rear suspension system helps to smooth the bumps. Go ahead…try off-road!
Safety and Security
Standard safety and security features of the 2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-door
convertible consist of second-generation dual front airbags, height-adjustable
shoulder belts, child seat LATCH system, keyless remote entry, and a steel-reinforced
passenger compartment. Integrated front and rear crumple zones reinsure
impact safety. Power hydraulic vented disc brakes are standard as well.
Three closing words for the 2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-Door Convertible: Practical,
Versatile, Fun.

2003 Suzuki Vitara 2-Door Highlights
 Vitara
2-Door has a removable soft top and room for four -- a great combination
for off-road sightseeing or around-town trips.
As
anybody who's done serious off road exploring will tell you, the
toughest terrain is always on the way to the best campsites and
most secluded swimming holes: soft sand, rock crawling and technical
climbs. How can the four-wheel-drive Vitara get through when some
others can't? Because in low range at low speeds, special drive
ratios keep the Vitara's engine spinning comfortably in the heart
of its powerband and the engine torque is multiplied to keep the
wheels turning. Single range all-wheel-drive systems don't have
the right gear ratios for very slow speeds, so their engines lug
down to low revs and power fades. When the going gets tough, these
systems simply can't keep going.
The
Vitara 2-Door is available in Platinum Silver Metallic, Satin Black,
Victory Red (all with a black canvas top); with the Ivy Green Metallic
exterior color, the canvas color is tan.
Like
all 2003 Suzuki models, the Vitara covered by the best warranty
in the business, Suzuki's new 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited
warranty. Fully transferable to succeeding owners and free of deductibles
for covered items, the warranty is designed to underscore the corporation's
confidence in product quality. The powertrain warranty covers the
engine, transaxle, transmission and transfer case and front- and
rear-wheel-drive systems. Although Kia and Hyundai offer a 10-year/100,000-mile
warranty, theirs is not fully transferable.
