Suzuki SJ Softtop SJ 413 Samurai 2d (2 Seat) (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money. Prices can vary from £50 to £2000. A decent model in good condition will set you back around £650.
Costs
Very low running costs. Petrol, a bit of oil every now and again, and they run forever.

On the road
Driving
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.
Performance
Off road is excellent - on road is good but don't expect too many speeding fines on the motorway.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable with many websites and clubs to help when necessary.
Image
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
Seats are comfortable and easily adjusted.

Security and Service
Security
The soft top can be replaced with an aftermarket fibreglass top which does improve security no end.
Service
Very good.
