Suzuki Samurai: The tiny Jeep from Japan 

Thanks for another interesting video. I enjoyed the footage and the history of the vehicle was quite intriguing. My uncle owned a Samurai back in the early 90s. I can’t recall the last time I saw one on the road. But yeah I agree, you can find well-kept examples online and prices for models like these are slowly creeping up. I like the undeniably 80s rugged, utilitarian and spartan interior of these haha.

Nice job

Suzuki had always built good, solid cars and SUV's. I was sad to see them go, they had a nice line up when they left the US market.

Its another one of those cars that are fun to drive until your friends find out! LOL 🤣

It's a shame that it got such a bad reputation in the US.

"If you want a Samuri you can still find them?" Where? Lots of 4WD enthusiasms where I live and darn near every Samurai has been lifted cut and butchered into a very capable off-roader- you can't find an original for sale. Used to see many on the road, but again they're scarce now and at best you'll see a few a week instead of dozens a day. It took awhile for the off-roaders to catch on but once they learned how to build a Samurai they began leaving their breakage-prone expensive Jeeps at home. A lot of people used them as a stepping-stone to Jeep ownership because back then they were cheap. Suzuki got screwed by the safety-nazis, of course it roll over more easily than most cars. It even tells you that in the owner's manual. Jeeps have the same problem, but being American made nobody tried a scare campaign on them. I was SO glad to hear that Suzuki was suing the idiots whose understanding of vehicle dynamics was so low they should not have been allowed to drive. It also showed that anyone making Nader-like claims had better be ready to prove them in Court or pay for their errors. There's not too many cars I really really want that I'd have half a chance at getting, but a Samauri is one of them.
