This gives this vehicle great maneuverability in situations that would trap more monstrous sport utilities. It rides a relatively short 97.6-inch wheelbase and measures about the length of a VW Golf at 162 or so inches long. The Sport is the top model in the Sidekick range. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes are options on the JS and JX, but standard on the JLX.

The JX gets manual locking hubs, with auto-locking hubs as an option the JLX gets the auto-locking hubs as standard equipment. The difference between trim levels basically comes down to the level of equipment the vehicle contains. There are three trim levels, two-wheel drive JS, four-wheel-drive JX, and the top-drawer 4WD JLX. The five-spoke aluminum wheels were sharp, adding a classy accent. Crimson, with putty-colored body cladding, the squarish sport utility test vehicle looked like a baby Range Rover. One appealing aspect is its handsome look.

I wear mine forward, and I admit not fully understanding the Sidekick Sport’s appeal.

However, age hadn’t really been a factor with me until I drove Suzuki’s top-of-the-line sport utility, the Sidekick Sport.Īfter spending a week in one of these little puppies, I’m supposing this vehicle speaks to the generation that wears caps backward. I’m not old enough to remember the Beatles, but I am old enough to remember Gerald Ford’s WIN buttons. There are certain times in life when you feel a bit older than you did before.
