The successors to the Samurai were the Tracker and Sidekick. I have a 96 Tracker 4x4 convertible. I use it in the winter when we have bad snow storms, and it's never let me down. It's performed very well. If we are going someplace where parking is a problem we take the Tracker. It's so short we can park a lot of places other cars can't. We also don't care if it get's another ding in the paint.

Sometimes forum members joke about the Crossfire being out of date compared to today's cars. The Tracker has no technology in it. Windows are hand cranked, and you have to roll down the window to adjust the door mirrors. No antilock brakes or traction control. You never know when an exterior light is out. However, as it's a 96 it does have an OBDII port and dual air bags.
