1996 Suzuki Sidekick GLX review from Bermuda
"Suzuki has built a winner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In six years I have had only two problems.
The radio died in year two. This was replaced by the dealer without a fuss.
The passenger window switch failed after four years and was replaced at minimal cost.
General comments?
I am very happy with this vehicle.
The ride and handling are quite good.
The high profile design inspires confidence.
Wider tires make a big difference.
The interior is attractive and comfortable.
