By most peoples standards it would be considered kinda doggy performance wise, but hey: It's a rugged and heavy (1.5 ton) little truck with a little fuel efficient, but very reliable engine. Leave it to the far east folks to make such a tiny but so functional vehicle. I think the brakes on this car last way longer than is typical for others. The ECG clog was fixed with a pipe cleaner. The exhaust system is made of stainless steel and is still original at 160k miles. Precautionary changed timing belt at 104k, rear shocks at 104k, engine check light at 104k (failed on), power steering pump seal at 120k, ECG system clog at 125k, new front brake calipers and rotors at 140k. I drive the 2 door soft top Sidekicks, and I wouldn't drive anything else. The interior is a little bare bones, but then you don't mind having a little mud on your shoes after a fun day of passing Dodges in the mud! You can raz around town all day and not worry about your gas gauge either, and if you do need to fuel up, it's 40 bucks, who cares? I've noticed that the only people that have bones to pick with these trucks don't do their own mechanic work, or at least the stuff you can do in your garage in a few hours. Sure they ride a little rough, they may have little room to store cargo, and they could use a little more power or maybe power steering, but they're bullet proof, and they're supposed to be like that. I have recently bought my second Sidekick from Alberta for half the price of a Toyota, Ford, Dodge/JUNK, Nissan or Chev of similar year, and kilometeres. You can't beat the Suzuki Sidekick in the used 4x4 price department. No real problems to report, some rust here and there, but who cares? General Comments: Body and frame are solid after all these years, also, along with interior seats, dash and windows. No complaints about her performance or livability. Passes like a dream, keeps pace with all traffic on the interstate, maneuvers brilliantly, and is quite comfortable for several hours without a break. Tough little machine didn't complain once, and certainly didn't quit on the drive home. Learned from my mechanic that the head gasket, fan clutch and rotors are shot. You might wonder what would inspire purchase of a vehicle this age with nearly 200,000 miles on it?Ī great 'love' for this type of vehicle remained, so I began searching for a solid Sidekick, with auto trans and power steering.įound this one in amazing condition, bought it and drove it through snowstorms for 200 miles coming home.

General Comments:īought and did a frame-off restoration on a 1988 Suzuki Samurai recently, only to have my left knee prohibit manual gear shifting. Please email me with any questions.Front brake rotor sticking. Good heat, all lights work, and mechanically in amazing condition. All the components are in place, I just never needed AC. It is an AC car, but the AC does not work. Basically it keeps the wind and water out. I used metal screws to hold them in place last year.

It comes with a top, but the molding that holds the side windows in place is cracked. People always stop to talk about this truck. This truck will go anywhere a car can go on the road or a fourwheeler can go in the woods. This is the perfect vehicle for someone who wants to drive their fourwheeler to the hunt club or to the woods. There is no rust on this truck, none on the frame and none on the body. It drives great at highway speeds, doesn't shake, bounce around or wander on the road. It shifts perfect, clutch is great, and 4 wheel drive works great. The Sidekick does not leak any fluids, burn any oil, make any funny noises and has no check engine lights. It starts right up, idles perfectly and has plenty of power on the highway or in the woods. The rims are black aluminum eagle alloy wheels. It has an offroad bumper, 9000k pound SmittyBuilt winch and 2 KC lights. It has been wrapped in a military camo vinyl wrap and it looks great. It has a 2 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift with 31 inch mud terrain tires. This is the fuel injected 1.6L engine (very reliable engine). This is a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 4x4 with only 87000 miles.
