If you're looking for a fun and dependable small 4-wheel drive vehicle you might want to look into buying a used Suzuki.
Originally a manufacturer of motorcycles, this Japanese subsidiary of General Motors exploded onto the American compact 4-wheel drive market with the Suzuki Samurai in 1985. Since then they have continued to offer dependable, often cheaper, alternatives to this very competitive market. You might look at a used Suzuki Vitara, the vehicle that replaced the Sidekick and is rated one of the "best family vehicles out there" by CarBuyingStrategies.com, or perhaps a pre-owned Suzuki XL-7, the longer, more powerful version of the Vitara with one of the largest cargo capacities in its class. Think buying a pre-owned Suzuki only means small 4-wheel drives..think again. A used Suzuki Esteem would go perfect in the driveway with its great fuel economy and European-inspired exterior design.
