I have no complaints on my '96 Sidekick except that the front seals have a propensity to go out, requiring the timing belt to be replaced. Have seen the same thing on other Suzuki/Geo three and four cylinder motors. Other than that, they seem rather bulletproof given normal maintenance.
Thanks for the heads’ up. The repair costs so far have been pretty minor for the mileage — fuel injector failure, wiper motor failure and failed seal on 4WD front hub.
