Starting a trend of Suzuki owners in her own family, Jordan has always found Suzukis to be affordable and reliable. We sat down with Jordan to see why she traded in her [Swift Sport](https://www.suzuki.co.nz/small-cars/overview/swift-sport) for a brand new Vitara Turbo.

### Tell us a little bit about yourself?

Hi my name is Jordan and I'm born and bred in Balclutha in the South Otago area.

I love hanging out with friends and going for walks and exploring. I’m quite family orientated and love kids, my nephews and nieces and my friend’s kids. And I’m a real animal lover, I’ve got two cats.

### Is this your first new car?

My first car was a Toyota Corolla 1996. It was good for a first car and then I had a Suzuki Swift Sport for about four years. I think it was my older sister that said to me “why don’t you look at a Swift”. So I googled 'Suzuki Swift' and it came up with Gilmour Motors and I was like “I love the price”. It was affordable and it looked good as well.

When I was at the dealership and I saw the Vitara I knew straight away that was the one for me. I wanted to be a bit higher off the ground and the interest rate was that good I couldn’t say no. I fell in love with the look of the Vitara. It looked awesome and I love the silver and the shape.

### Why did you choose Suzuki over other brands?

I bought the Suzuki Vitara because as soon as I saw it advertised on TV, I was like “I want that”.

I wanted to find a car that was very affordable and was a brand new car. The big thing was I didn’t want to be able to afford to pay a car off and Suzuki offered me the 3.9%finance for the whole five years, which was awesome.

### What do you love about your Suzuki Vitara?

I really like the parking sensors and with the reversing camera it makes it so much easy driving around. I rely on them so much now and I couldn’t drive a car without parking sensors anymore. With the stereo, I can just hook my phone up and listen to music and I only need to fill up my car once a month. It’s cheap to run!

When I’m driving around the Vitara is so smooth. There's not much road noise and I have lots of control on the road and the Turbo is quick and speedy too. I love it! 

It’s reliable and it makes me really happy to have a brand new car to drive around in. All my friends love it too.

### Why was your Suzuki Vitara the right fit?

The Vitara just feels right. I’ve wanted a car that was a bit higher off the ground, which it’s perfect! And it just suits me…suits my personality.

It’s brand new and reliable and I don’t have to spend as much money as I did having an older vehicle.

### How has owning your Suzuki Vitara made a difference in your life?

Me being the first person to have a Suzuki in my family, means that my Mum and my two sisters all have Suzukis as well. I think that's pretty cool. My mum has got the S-Cross and my two younger sisters both have Swifts.

### Describe the experience you had buying the car?

The team at Gilmour Motors Suzuki were awesome. I dealt with Emma most of the time and she was absolutely lovely. They gave me all the information I needed to know.

I took it for a test drive and she helped me hook up my phone to the Bluetooth system and was absolutely awesome to deal with.

### Have you got a nickname or pet name for your Suzuki?

Me and my friend Teagan came with me to pick my brand new car up and we driving home and I was just like “Oh I might call it Veronica the Vitara.” I don’t know why. It just came to my head and we just started laughing. And it stuck.

### How do I use the car day to day?

Monday to Saturday ….drive to work, drive home. In the weekends, I like to pick up my friends and sometimes go for a drive down to the beach or go and see my friends, the odd occasional trip to town or Dunedin for some shopping. Just short trips.

### What are the first steps or advice you would recommend to someone looking to buy a car?

Definitely brand new is always the way to go I reckon. And with Suzuki you get your 5 year warranty and with mine I got a service plan. That was a bonus.
