1990 Suzuki Sierra LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"A fun project for a serious four wheel driver!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace both the clutch and the accelerator cables.
The carburettor has also had to be restored as it was worn in places and missing parts.
Shattered the drive shaft after a run over some very big rocks.
General comments?
A very fun and small four wheel drive. I have enjoyed taking it off-road and enjoyed making it more off-road able, with it being a reasonably cheap car to modify, and run.
It isn't a very fast on road vehicle, but it runs like it was built for the wilderness.
