How many people use there Zuki as a daily driver? Just wondering. trying to find the balance between mods and durability. I have only had my 03 for less than 2 month and already have over 4000 miles on it.

I drive my SJ410 46 miles every day.  I put 2 rolls of duct tape on it so far.   I change the oil at 3k and use purolator filters, and kendal oil.  Just topped 95k and I can exceed the maximum speed set by Suzuki(68 mph) 8)

I use my 98 X-90 as a daily driver 200 miles a day. It has the Calmini 2" suspension lift on it and does great on the interstate.

Ya my Tracker is my Daily driver.

I actually love the way it handles on the road with all the mods.

The Zuke is on its way out.  Getting a vehicle that will behave and be supported by the dealer.

Mines my DD but I live above my practice.

Great for around town,  but a 45 mile Xpressway drive has me wishing for more power.

With the newer softop it's quiet enough for short trip and in the summer, who cares the top is down ;D.

Yup, DD ~170mi/day. The Michelin LTX 215's I put on it are great on the road and a lot of fun in the snow. This Spring I'm lifting it and putting on a set of 31's as my commute is getting cut by ~160mi/day :)

My 1991 Sidekick is my daily driver.  I have been driving it almost every single day since October of 1993.  I change the oil at least every 3000 KMS.
