1987 Suzuki Samurai review from North America
"A great little Jeep"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car needed a major service (valve adjustment, tires, belts, etc..), but otherwise was in very good shape.
I put almost 20 thousand miles on it and the only problem was that the starter stopped working intermittently. I replaced it and have had no other problems.
General comments?
When I got the car, I didn't like the stock seats. I purchased a set of Swift seats modified to fit the Samurai from hawk strictly suzuki, and they are extremely comfortable.
It does very well on the trails and the rough stuff, and is reliable as can be.
