Used 1997 Suzuki Sidekick Consumer Reviews
My Sidekck
I love this truck (that's what I call it)! It is kind of small for me and two kids, but it is great with the roof off in the summer, 4WD in the winter, and fun all year round. I take really good care of mine and now it's starting to get attention. I love it more than any woman that I have ever loved! It pisses them off.
Reliable but ugly
I bought this relatively high mileage (over 100k in 2000) sidekick for use at my second home in the NC mountains. None of my other vehicles have four wheel drive, so I needed a cheap and reliable vehicle to drive in the winter. This thing is anemic in normal driving, but for its low price and winter-driving ability, it can't be beat.

exspensive repairs
Good dependable car overall but when repairs are needed parts are expensive. $100. each front struts. $260. for pvc valve and labor. Blew head gasket at 85,ooo miles because thermosat did not register over med temp. 2000.00 to fix
A true all terrain vehicle!
I drive my Suzuki Sidekick everyday and it performs great in all conditions. It does great on road, very smooth and comfortable. I take it on trails time to time, and in wet, muddy, or snowy conditions its amazing! (With A/T tires) Its so much fun to drive! I can drive all day and just clear my mind. I love my Suzuki Sidekick and would recommend it to anyone who wants a true all terrian vehicle and wants a fun ride every time the get in the vehicle.

Great Mini-ute
We bought our truck about a year ago with 40,000 miles on it, it now as over 55,000 and is still running great. The only problems are its size and its power. It's very sluggish up hills, and I can't sit in the front seat with the car seat behind me (I'm 6'0").
