Product Description

Introduced in the late 1970s, the first Suzuki 4x4, the LJ series, carved out its own market niche as a compact, rugged and affordable workhorse. The LJ evolved into the highly successful SJ series and Samurai models, which offered buyers a fun alternative to similarly priced hatchbacks and saloons, and bcome the first 'lifestyle' 4x4s on the market. When the Vitara appeared in 1989, it proved massively popular as an insurance-friendly alternative to a 'hot-hatch', and since then the Suzuki off-roader brand has gone from strength to strength. This all-colour book will fascinate all Suzuki 4x4 owners and enthusiasts.

From the Author
To assume any new single-marque title from Haynes must be yet another workshop manual is to completely miss the point about 'You & Your Suzuki 4x4'. So if you want step-by-step guides to engine removal or transmission repairs, this isn't the book for you.

If, however, you're an enthusiast, owner or potential buyer of any four-wheel drive Suzuki and you're looking for invaluable information on buying, looking after, modifying or simply enjoying your SJ, Samurai, Vitara, Jimny or Grand Vitara, you've found it!

Written in a friendly, easy style and with full-colour photography throughout, this fascinating hardback book will both entertain and inform. A full and comprehensive history of every generation of all-wheel drive Suzuki is included (from the earliest LJ to the last of the pre-2006 Grand Vitaras), as well as a full rundown of what to look for when buying and examining all models.

Once you've bought your Suzuki of choice, you'll want to know how to get the most from it and, crucially, where you can enjoy it off-road. You'll also want to read about modifying your Suzuki, whether for on- or off-road use. And you'll find all this - and a whole lot more - in 'You & Your Suzuki 4x4'.

You and Your Suzuki 4x4
My first reaction on seeing this book had come out was great Haynes have brought out a book on Maintaining the Suzuki models but I was disappointed to find it was more on the history and what can be done with them. Not really worth the money.
