1987 Suzuki Samurai LX review from North America
"Number 1 at what it does"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stock carburetion and smog system caused drivability problems. Solved by switching over to older Toyota carburetor.
General comments?
It is outstanding off road in the northeast woods.
Fine in small town traffic, but not made for the rush hour traffic.
