1990 Suzuki Samurai User Reviews

Perfect Offroader. — Performance is great with a few mods, not that great if it is stock. Build Quality it is one tough piece of machine. Appearance is very rugged. It is cheap to maintain, parts are cheap and fuel economy is the best you can find. It is most fun car to take off road. No fear of breaking parts.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Great Little Suv. One Of The Best Cars I Ever Drove. — 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.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Excellent If Used Primarily Off-road Or On Low Speed Roads, Avoid Freeways. — 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.

Awesome Little Rig To Own And Wheel — I love owning this Zuk it is fun to drive on and off road not real great on the freeway but it is stable and it feels like your safe (at least the way I drive it). It is pretty easy to fix and parts have gotten a little easier to find in the last 10 years I have owned it.

Still Crazy After All These Years — **NOTE: is 1988, not 1990. love love love. wanted one since elementary school. found for 16th birthday. yay! bearly makes 60mph. easier when going downhill. prefers slow and steady. rattles you to the bone. put new speakers and stereo in. needs exaust, alternator, and manual locking hub. decent gas mileage for little four banger. sounds like squirrels in a cage. good front seats, back bench needs help. gas gauge lies. love it!
