Is the Suzuki Vitara known for road noise?

We have test driven a low mileage Suzuki Vitara. A great basic little SUV, but are they known for their road and wheel noise?

The Suzuki Vitara certainly isn't the most refined small SUV on the market. It should be very reliable, though, and cheap to run. Factors like the wheel size will influence noise levels – perhaps try one with smaller alloy wheels and bigger tyres. Alternatively, consider something like a Skoda Kamiq instead.
