1990 Suzuki Samurai Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I had an 88, which was not an option. A cute, but small 4X4, this is the little SUV that could. She could go places in 2WD that bigger $WDs wouldn't tread. I drove it sideways up a 75 degree incline. So steep, I could reach over and touch the ground through the passenger's window. The engine was terribly slow, but the 30MPG was great. When I literally threw a piston, it still went, and I was able to overtake a car that was preventing me from merging onto the shoulder. After towing it 100 miles, and it losing all of it's oil along the way, it still cranked and drove to th backyard to be repaired. The braking was poor. But, it was stable, and very fun to drive, especially with the tops off.Oct 11, 2010

It was a good vehicle, seemed to be reliable, intereor was not real comfortable especially with two people in it, was once told "it felt like being in a can of sardines". The power was disappointing, to say the least; fuel economy was alright about 20-21, handling was not very good, more than likely due to it being so narrow. This is an excellent off-road vehicle, will go almost anywhere.May 05, 2010

First of it's an 1986, but this app only goes to 1990! Some strange fellow put a 1.8 Isuzu Diesel in it...yes the same engine as my Chevette! While it's a great reliable motor, it has no more power than the stock gas engine. But still, I love this rig, it's simple, reliable, and can climb over sand as steep as sand will pile. In spite of the lack of power, it still preforms quite well, once you get use to it. Oh did I mention that it looks amazing!May 27, 2008
