1993 Suzuki Sierra JX Softtop from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Seats have split, but are covered using seat covers which are fine.

Radiator has a leak somewhere, but resolved by frequently refilling the coolant.

Those problems came with the car, I have had no troubles at all.

Extremely underpowered. A 1.3L engine to pull 980Kg.

Great Fuel ecomonmy - About 400km / tank. 40 ltr tank, but usually only require about 34 dollars worth. (When petrol is at a good price)

Has a Max speed of 130km/h. When travelling at 110km/h it revs at about 4 - 4.5 thousands Revs Per Minute, which is a lot. If driven at 80km/h its RPM is about 3000.

This car really needs a 6th gear for freeway traveling.

Off-road the car goes hard. In low range 4wd it makes it up 45 degree fire trails and when taking on sand dunes, it is hard to get bogged due to its light weight.

Does overheat on sand as the car is not traveling as fast as it tells you due to slippage from sand.

Comfort wise - Rates poorly. No leg room. Only storage is glove box, but that's untrustworthy as the softtop is easy to break into.

Don't leave anything valuable in the car - I learned the hard way. Please do steal!

Yes, the car has a lot of street credability, especially if raised and large wheels fitted.

When soft top is down, it attracts the general public, and even gets the police to look when people in the back.

I am going to sell the sierra though due to its safety. There is none. Get hit and you have no protection. Roll the car when people in back seat and they will be crushed.

Car is very basic, easy to service.

Overall the car is a beast, even if you have travel 60km/h in a 110 limit to get up the hills.

Great fun for summer.

Great for getting the looks.

CD player jumped every second and suspension is hard.

But for fun, get one.

Great on the fuel, if you're not embarrassed to take of slow and stay slow.

Thank you for reading my review.

I have recently bought one of these, and it seems to be exactly as this review describes. In spite of its lack of power, I love the thing, and I intend to drive it into its grave.

I'm searching for a new soft-top without luck. I don't want to pay for a brand new one if I don't have to. Anyone got any clues?
