1993 Suzuki Sierra review from Australia and New Zealand
"An awesome 4x4 that you'll never want to get rid of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel Pump broke at 160,500kms, therefore leaked oil throughout the motor.
The leaf spring suspension is sagging and therefore hitting the stopper on hard bumps creating a rough ride.
The wiring for the cabin fan burnt out after 9 years.
General comments?
This car will go anywhere and will follow behind the toughest of 4x4's that have been highly modified no problems at all.
There is massive public rave about the Sierra's performance off-road.
Very high revs at 110 km/h. (3900/min)
Not the fastest car in the world, but does have power for a 1300. My Suzi has been modified with a 2" exhaust system with extractors and that makes a world of difference to the power.
No power steering, but handles surprisingly easy. Be careful not to roll it on tight corners or off-road.
Very reliable and fuel economical. I reached a maximum of 550kms on one tank.
