1989 Isuzu I-Mark RS review from North America
"Fuel efficient fun - none compare to the I-Mark."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to put a new starter in the day after I purchased it. Had a $2 pin from the transmission fall out once, but let it be known this was the car I learned to drive a manual in.
General comments?
Not a slow car, and the handling by Lotus was fantastic. Watching the look on people's faces when they asked what car I drove was priceless! The sturdy frame of the car saved my life and the lives of two others. The best car in the world.
