suzuki sidekicks are nearly extinct! Most basic fun vehicle! Feels like an atv . Cousin of the samurai. Better mpg than the Jeeps! This thing is unstoppable.. I used to use it as a daily driver and did the job quite well. Now its a week end fun ride. Pro. Cheap aftermarket pats. Simplicity .decent mpg. Compact 5 seater. Off road capabilities. Cons. Slow accelertion and speed. Lack of cup holders....

Little 'n Awesome

This is my first vehicle and like it a lot. The small size, 4x4 and maneuverability are great. One thing, the fuel economy was not terribly good in my opinion, maybe 30mpg at tops, but its not horrible. I did have a starter problem once so far as well as corroded wiring for the fuel pump and some of the lights. It is 16 years old and has been in many other hands im sure, so it may have had other issues. But overall, it's pretty much awesome!

The title is not a joke. This is a fully capable, small 4x4 whose wheel base is narrow enough to only have 1 tire in "the rut" and another in between. Routinely last until 300k miles. Best kept 4x4 secret until recently...

Suzuki Sidekick Ranks Among the Best

This car surprised me. I was shopping for a low cost 4WD vehicle that I'd use for primarily local driving w/my 2 big dogs...Everything about it has continued to please me from the ease of driving & handling; the comfort and roominess of a small SUV & the dependability. This is a very basic car: standard 5-speed transmission; am/fm/cassette; factory air; manual windows, seats, etc. but ranks among the best.

The Sidekick was one of the first SUV's out there and when I was looking for my first vehicle, it really caught my eye. It had great reviews in Consumer Reports. It's zippy yet heavier- I feel very safe driving it. I've taken it off- roading with both stock and B.F. Goodrich tires and it's handled the trails beautifully. It handles better than many trucks and SUV's out there because of it's awesome ground clearance and it's weight!
