1991 Isuzu Impulse RS review from North America
"Total babe-mobile, too old to be worth buying a used one now!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything structural that could have went wrong did.
I have had more welding done than the statue of liberty.
Don't even think about fooling around with the lady friend in this car... I think they designed this car for a family of pigmies according to the space in the back seat.
Front seat room is ample.
General comments?
Very unique car, good handling, never had many problems with the engine.
-Structurally the car is terrible
-The windshield wiper motor is located in a very weird place under the hood
-mine broke off its mountings, I had to bolt it back on
-now the motor only makes one of the wipers work, and that wiper stays on until you shut off the car...
-I would recommend highly never buying this car used now, it is just too old and you will be paying for years to come when everything underneath the car goes
