I am contemplating buying one as I need something small, tough and reliable that'll get me to and from work as well as down the various bumpy tracks I have to drive on a daily basis, whilst having 4 seats and good storage space in the rear (when rear seats not in use). A Sukuzi SJ seems ideal- anyone heard otherwise?
As size and fuel economy are an issue I am choosing one over a Land Rover, but are there any other contenders? Thanks!

The SJ was a good car 10 years ago(although they do roll over when cornering) but if you can afford a Land Rover I would recommend that over the SJ.
The Daihatsu four trak is quite a solid little car too.

My SJ carried all the materials for building two conservatories, even fitted in a lathe once, drove well in town or off road, through mud or snow, totally reliable but if I'm honest, it was a hard ride on road, not a lot of comfort there.
Once I went round the M.25 in a headwind and it wouldn't go faster than 45 mph foot flat to the floor due to brick like shape. The soft top had no security and the car was broken into once.
Mine led a quiet town life, had been driven sedately and was taut. A friend's identical SJ was driven everywhere at max. revs as was a country car, was looser and had much better performance. It liked being driven that way and was still lively at over 250K mileage when it retired to a quieter life on a golf course.
I swapped mine for an Isuzu Tropper which solved the comfort and motorway probs. Far superior performance and there wasn't a lot of difference in fuel economy.

buy an older Landrover defender from a mod agent plenty going and cheap too. Dielsels still don tcost much to run and you wont regret it.
But I do love the old SJ. I used to work with them and drive them when in Greece.

These are the ones that roll over if you go round corners at more than 28mph, right?
