I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.
That’s a cool fucking car, I wish they still sold cars with that much personality
They’re called Jimny in Japan and Latin America. Check them out. You can import a 25+ year old one for about $7000, usually with 49k miles.
Source: I’ve done it twice.
I rented a Jimny in Aruba and took it off road. Was one of the most fun driving cars I’ve been in.
Totally. The new ones are so nice.
I drive a 94 Delica these days. It’s a great 4x4.
I thought the Jimny was the Samurai
The Tracker was a rebadged Suzuki
It is. But a Geo Tracker and Jimny might as well be the same.

And death trap handling. You just look at a corner and die.

That’s kool aid from Jeep back in the day to discredit the Samurai as unfit.
and it worked
It was fine though, for its time, the Samurai didn’t flip any worse than anything else.
I already said I’d buy it, you can stop listing benefits
I have drifted one of these through mud and they are great :D
And yet the Model F trucks are consistent best-sellers today.
It’s the short wheelbase and solid rear axle. They are unstable even driving straight.
And with the pickup trucks, it’s the high center of gravity which makes them deathtraps.
And with all cars it’s my bad driving skills that makes them deathtraps.
