Best fun vehicle around. Great to drive, especially on a warm summer day. There is no way you can hurry the SJ413, so driving becomes more relaxed and enjoyable.

Suzuki SJ Softtop (82-97)

Value

3 out of 5

Excellent value for money. Prices can vary from £50 to £2000. A decent model in good condition will set you back around £650.

Costs

4 out of 5

Very low running costs. Petrol, a bit of oil every now and again, and they run forever.

Performance

5 out of 5

Off road is excellent - on road is good but don't expect too many speeding fines on the motorway.

Reliability

4 out of 5

Very reliable with many websites and clubs to help when necessary.

The Suzuki SJ is usually chosen as a second car, or a weekend "toy". Although once considered to be a hairdresser's car, they are now seen as very capable off road vehicles capable of out performing many of the other 4x4's.

Comfort

4 out of 5

Seats are comfortable and easily adjusted.
