A Unique Car, I Loved It And Would Buy Another If I Had A Bigger Garage. — I paid $400 for this car when I was 20. It had no rust and ran great. It was like a little Ferrari with an even smaller engine. It sounded fast, but it wasnt. 4 wheel dic brakes were pretty high performance back then and they worked great considering you never really had to stop from high speeds. It was a little 4 speed with a removeable targa top. It was a blast to drive on a nice day! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: Cheap Fun! Cons: If you have a need for speed, this isnt for you. ![]() Looking for a Used X1/9 in your area?CarGurus has 1 nationwide X1/9 listings and the tools to find you a great deal. |

Buy An X-1/9 If You Want A Slow Piece Of Junk — It's an interesting little car, but with less than 100 hp, performance is severely lacking. This car never went on a drive without breaking, and it was hard to find parts. The car was, however, fun around the corners; it was kind of like a Miata, except not as fast, not as good looking, and a general piece of junk. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) Pros: It's Italian Cons: It's Italian |

Bertone X-1/9 By Justin
This car is a blast to drive, if you have the personality for it. It's a little sluggish, with only a 1.5 liter putting out 75bhp (US spec). Handles like a jet fighter in the right hands. Forget Fix I... Read More
