1996 Suzuki Sidekick JX Convertible review from North America
"Perfect choice for the high school student"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My thermostat burned out at about 85,000 miles.
Other than that it has been normal wear and tear.
General comments?
This vehicle was a gift from my parents when I turned 16. It has lasted very well through the last seven years. It has seen me graduate high school and it probably will see me graduate college.
This car handles very well, and it does still have some pep under the hood.
