1985 Suzuki Sierra JX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great value for money, when things don't go wrong!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew head gasket after 3 days of owning the car. Cost AU$800 to fix. Got it back and blew the clutch and rear main gasket 3 hours later! In the workshop as I write this!
Came with heaps of really crap stickers on the sides, have had to spend hours getting these off.
General comments?
Excellent 4wd for its price.
Excellent fuel economy.
Excellent condition for an 85 model.
