The air conditioning was somehow linked to the accelerator. So, you sometimes had to turn off the airconditioning to decrease the RPM.
The seals in the rear leaked often.
There are blind spots on both sides so you have to be very careful in adjusting your side view mirrors.
This car is fantastic. The engine is so quiet, powerful and well-designed. The interior has so much space.
I gave it to my grandfather who left it unmaintained in his farm in 1998. He gave it back to me in 2002 and while it needs work, it is still in pretty good shape. I really will relish fixing it up.
I've always wanted one since I gave it away and I got it back. I don't intend to give it away or sell it ever. Even if I had a lot of money, I'd stick with this one.
Plus, in our country where car napping is rampant, it will probably be very low in a car napper's wish list of cars to steal.

LOL.
Nope.
AC needs the engin to run in order to provide cold air.
So... AC being on = more pressure on that tiny 1.3l engin.
Its normal.
Usually with ac on you suffer a big power loss on most inline4 engins.
V6 or V8 is usually unaffected since there BIG.
About the mirrors you only need to turn them almost 90ยบ... that's the secret buddy.
Increase your idling when you run most of the times with A/C. Change your side mirrors with vertical original Suzuki version which I got from Japan. Jimny's there are equipped with these side mirrors; that would solve your blind side problems.
Sir, how about the availability of spare parts? I'm planning to get a 88 model JX type. Wise buy?
Thanks.
