Used 1996 Suzuki Sidekick Consumer Reviews
Suzuki Sidekick 1995
Very reliable SUV
Dont let this 4 cyl fool you
All the power of a 4 cyl. And all the Gas mileage of an 8 cyl. Very small SUV. 4 wheel drive works pretty good. Replacement parts pricey 35 dollars for a serpantine belt.
questionable longevity
I drive this car every day on a daily basis, and there are multiple flaws with the vehicle. Even having been garaged for 9 out of its 17 year life, and since i have driven it ive noticed several things. The engine is severely underpowered, which results in your city mpg resting somewhere around 16-17mpg, which is horrible for a 4 cyl. All of the electronics or other parts of the car that arent the engine are very unreliable. The automatic transmission is going bad, in the year ive owned it ive had a failed radiator, starter, and fuel pump.
1994 Suzuki Sidekick JLX
I have had my car since 1995, drove it from Texas - Colorado-Seattle, WA to Pennsylvania... with a U-haul trailer! (make sure you get a transmission cooler installed). Overall, the drive was always good, dependable, and comfortable for me....the driver. Passenger felt not enough leg/body room. Great for flea market scavenger hunts!.I have 125,000 miles on my car, and I got a great deal in the long run. Had my car for almost 8+ years.I now want to consider purchasing an Element from Honda
