April 29, 201015 yr There seems to be more and more of these vehicles getting around. Quite interested in one but would like to know how other people think they shape up.
April 29, 201015 yr cramped drivers seat, except for that excellent value for money and reliability. but adding 100k gets you a diesel toyota/izu/chevy/mazda/ford/nissan with tourque. no tourque in a 1600cc petrol and even worse with LPG or CNG
April 29, 201015 yr Flat bed tray and drop sides on the Suzuki has it's advantages, can add enclosed backs easily which is good for commercial purposes. Should be more economical than a 2.5/3.0 diesel and can run with CNG with the tank under the tray. Probably not much fun on the highway but around town? They are not very wide as well.
April 30, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the replys. Nothing said about any engine problems so could be the right vehicle for me.
May 1, 201015 yr Thanks for the replys.Nothing said about any engine problems so could be the right vehicle for me. Its a Suzuki very tough engines, plenty of 15 - 20 yr old 1.6 Vitara running around with untouched engines
May 1, 201015 yr Does not look like there are any dealers outside of Bangkok. 12 in total according to http://www.suzuki.co.th/webpage/network/index.html Having said that, I am actually quite interested in the new Vitara. Pretty decent reviews on youtube...
May 2, 201015 yr Author I've seen dealers in khon kaen and loei. Vitara looks nice but at 1000050 baht out of my range. My wife has had her license a few years now but little experience so if i get a carry i hope that little 5 speed gearbox can handle the rigours of her gear changes
May 2, 201015 yr i have had one for about 6 months now, as one would expect no problems so far. The only gripes that i get about it is that its small on the inside and if your tall your legs will hit the dash when using the clutch.. but this is from a 6'2 driver. And the seats are on the uncomfortable side as they dont adjust. but it does the job its intended to do does just fine on the highway and around town here in bangkok we have run it up to khao yai, hua hin, pattaya ect. So i give it a thumbs up... no poroblems so far other than comfort, but then again its a work truck not a luxury car

May 3, 201015 yr suzuki carry have an extra cab? Yes there is one driving about not far from where i live, Early last year went into the Suzuki Showroom looking at the new Vitara, they had the single cab and the extra cab 'Carry', extra cab was 40k more, looked inside was much more room, I am 6"3 and 130kg, plenty of room SUZUKI CARRY TRUCK 2dr Ext. Cab Man 5sp RWD 1.6i THB 406,000
May 3, 201015 yr Author Great info ignis, sounds like the extra cab it will be. One more question as easier to ask hear than wife explain second hand. Any idea how big petrol tank is and how many kilometers roughly you can drive on it.?????
June 2, 201015 yr Has anyone got a current price list for the various models of Suzuki Carry? I'm buggered if I can find one on the net! Thanks
