The Vitara is powerful, light and practical, with a 4-cylinder engine; flaws: plastic upper door trim and a less modern appearance.

De Vitara voelt aan alle kanten royaler aan dan de TYC. Geeft duidelijk meer zicht rondom de auto. De TYC is zeker in de bebouwde kom superzuinig. Het rijden met de Vitara geeft het gevoel in een grotere auto te rijden dan de TYC.

A very pleasant car for an affordable price. The only downside is poorly soundproofed doors and windows.
