My Suzuki

1994 Suzuki Sidekick JLX 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought my little car in 2006 - she got 40 MPG and was the best car I've ever had - she had one owner before me and he must have taken good care of her. I writing this review because last week the ins. co. totaled her because we were rear ended by a 18 wheeler. I've tried to find a new/used Sidekick but there are not many left on the road -- after being rear ended the police officer … pulled the drivers side quarter panel out, the car started and off we went to continue our journey still getting 40MPG. Unless you're a owner of one of these cars you don't understand the durability, I do, and I wish they still made them -- her engine was still good when towed -- how do you find a great car?

1994 Suzuki Sidekick JLX 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this little truck because it
was a very good deal. It was my first
non-American owned car. I purchased the
vehicle for basic transportation, a
disposable vehicle for my wife. It
wasn't long until I just came to love
my Sidekick. I trust it to go anywhere,
on or off road. It still looks new and
cleans up great. I would not trade or
sell my Suzuki, I will keep it … as long
as it runs.

1994 Suzuki Sidekick JX 2dr SUV 4WD w/Soft Top
I bought my 1994 Suzuki Sidekick new, 126,000 miles ago, and I just changed the original tires, the spare was never touched! This truck was a work horse for 5+ years hauling office equipment spare parts in the back (back seat folded). It will go where other SUVs would bail out (size advantage). I only experienced normal wear and tear, did the 60,000 mile overhaul and nothing ever since! … I like it but will have to donate it to a charitable organization. The engine is super reliable. If new Suzuki models use the same basic construction, I recommend them without reservations.

I've moved up, but I miss my 'Zuki

1994 Suzuki Sidekick JX 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this car in '94 with 20,000 miles on it. It was in a head-on accident, two rear-end accidents and, finally, the insurance company "totalled" it after I was recently hit by a crazy person running an intersection. It was plain bad luck with all of them, but even after the last one, the car DROVE, with, as it turned out, the battery wonked out of its bracket and was laying on top … of the engine. Most importantly, neither my husband or I were seriously injured. I just bought a '99 Subaru Outback and I like the features, but I wasn't "done" with the Suzuki and already I have to have the Outback's speedometer repaired...not to mention, it's a gas hog (though a 4-cyl. as well) in comparison. My grief is complex!
