my baby

i searched an x-90 in very good condition and after 13 years, i found it. I live in Canada and the x-90 is what i needed. I will probably never sell it till i die.

Most coolest car I've ever owned.

This car is a perfect student driver car. Since my Suzuki X-90 was manual transmission I had to learn how to shift gears with a stick shifter. The people I purchased this car from took good care of that Suzuki X-90. It had over 123,000 miles on the odometer. The engine had no compression on one cylinder, so the car would drive too slow on the highway. The removable t-tops still had their covers attached, so you wouldn't bake from the sun. I drove this car for a year or so and then sold it, because there were a lot of oil leaks and a cylinder on the engine lost compression. However, I did drive this car from south Florida to Texas twice with no problem. Thanks.

Short wheel base gave a active ride.

I am 6'1" fit just fine. However it was just a 2 seater purple/blue with a tiny trunk. Had to stop it to shift into or out of 4WD. Loved the T-tops. I had it till over 120,000 miles then moved on. It had developed a lot of rust on the underside. Was fun while I had it. Great visibility.

Cute-Ute

I bought my 1997 X-90 brand new in May of 97. I was 28 at the time and loved it's styling. It was my daily driver for about 2.5 years until my then boyfriend and I had my first child, a baby girl. Anyway, 12 years later I still own my X-90, it only has 52k mi as I don't drive it often. It's reliabilty is very good considering it's only driven 700 miles a year.. repair costs are next to nothing, seeing as how I don't drive it, but still if I had the choice I'd do it all again.

Loved this car

I inherited my 1997 X-90 in my twenties. I loved it's unique look, great way to get attention! Unfortunately, around year number 10 I had a slew of electrical problems. I also had to replace the starter, alternator and pretty much the entire mechanical system, piece by piece! Also, the short wheel base made it a bit scary going around turns and difficult to parallel park despite it's miniature size. Recently, it was totaled in an accident- I walked away without a scratch! I wish I could find a replacement, but nothing is even similar!
