the ever so debated question- consumer reports said they flip, but do they? i have owned a 96 sidekick since new. the report if you noticed was on a samari. also- i remember when this all happened. the samari had outrigers on it that displaced weight to the side of the vehicle. plus the driver whiped the wheel in an S patern and held it threw the patern to cause it to roll. any 4x4 put threw the exact test will roll. but samari was singled out--- hmmm. the sidekick has a wider and longer stance. this conbined with the lower CG makes a stable production vehicle- more stable then, yes, ford and chevy like vehicles. now- fast forward a few years- and you'll notice that all suzuki 4x4 vehicles have nasty insurace ratings. domestice doesn't have bad insurace ratings. combine that with plated consumer alerts- hmmmm. more capable 4x4 imports at lower cost then domestic- i belive you can all figure this one out. 10 years driving my sidekick with increasing gas prices- i'll never trade it for an overpriced, gas guzzling domestice. no matter what consumer reports try to convince me. three words- it's bull sh#@!!!
