You hold Jeeps in way too high an opinion. Get a Toyota or a better equipped vehicle. I love off roading, and I would never buy a Jeep for this purpose.

LOL, I know from experience it's the opposite buddy!!!

I have owned 6 Jeeps, from the first V-8 made in 1972, and many others as well.
I can emphatically explain that the Jeep does not match the Suzuki
for off-road ability. Not once sir: but at least a dozen times I have out-climbed Jeeps easily. I was embarrassed by one when I owned a Jeep.
The lighter weight and narrow wheel track make it an extremely versatile and able 4x4. Not to mention, I used to install 1000s of extra into my Jeeps. The Sidekick gets the job done on 1/3 the cost of upgrades... and usually can be repaired in the field. My Jeep almost never.
I have driven Jeeps since 1960 and owned 6 as I stated. It was PROVEN to me that the small... cheap Sidekick was easier to drive and superior. I now own two happily.

I agree with you. The comfort mark in this review is 1/10. The off roading capability doesn’t really matter if your seat is hard and has a vertical backrest at a 90 degree angle like the Suzuki. Jeeps are far more comfortable. Off road in style in a Jeep. They were the originals and have always been the best. Hummers and other pretenders have never unseated Jeeps as the kings.

I've owned 2 XJs 95 96 and a 04 TJ. The Samurai is lighter by 1000lbs and will go anywhere a Jeep will. The lack of power sucks on the road, but wheeling you don't need that 4.0, it's just more weight. So whoever says it's not comparable to a Jeep, they don't know what the heck they're saying. I loved my Jeeps, but like the Samurai true Jeeps are dead. After 07 they ruined them. No 4.0 different body, 4 doors! And oh yeah they cost 40k!

Yes... a Jeep is a Jeep... owned by Chrysler. A jeep is altogether different (lower case j). The term was coined in the early 40's for the army's general purpose vehicle... (GP). Since saying GP quickly sounded like jeep, they just began to call the little buggies jeeps. I would never own a Jeep. But a jeep I'll take all day.
