Suzuki SJ Softtop 1982-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bought mine for £800, best car I've owned!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Parts and work are cheap, engine guzzles petrol more than it should.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    On road isn't too bad, nice high driving position. Off road it is great!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not too good MPG, but enough torque to get it most hills!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Broke some springs, and drowned an engine, but that's not the SJs fault…

    Heads turn, especially with the roof off.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not at all, but who cares.

    Security

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0
