Review

I bought my Amigo brand new in September of 1991. It is still running with 265K miles on it. Original engine, nothing major has ever gone wrong with it. Changed a few clutches, a starter, alternator, an exhaust - nothing more then your standard "wear and tear". My wife is waiting for it to die so I can buy a new vehicle but it keeps on running. It has great 4 wheel drive capability and has weathered sever winters. I would happily pay another $12k for 18 years of driving w/o major issues in a heartbeat. This has been a great vehicle!

Favorite Features

Reliability.

Suggested Improvements

The top isn't the easiest to remove or put on in cold weather.

Review

I bought this car brand new and still have it. I have repainted the car, change the head gasket, change clutch, change the exhaust, and put a 3 inch body lift. Overall the car hasn't had to many problems. Engine still runs great.

Favorite Features

Stylish looks. Not too many around that have been lifted.

Suggested Improvements

Engine power! This car is made for cruising the beaches and some off roading. I plan to eventually install a bigger engine to some offroading.

Review

I had an Amigo for about two years and I should have done a buyers check first before I bought it! I had a flywheel/starter problem that made me have to pop the clutch many times in order for it to start. It rode rough, got average gas milage for an SUV and I wanted my old car back again! The oil pressure dropped to the point that the oil light would come on every once in a while because, as I found out when I sold it, one of the cylinders had water in it. You do not have to be a mechanic to know that this is not good news! The soft top is tough to get on and off (try it before you buy it), and not really worth the trouble. This was probably my last SUV.

Favorite Features

Strong low torque for towing. Roomy front seat, nice sound system, sporty looks...

Suggested Improvements

Reliablity. They flip easily as well and I wouldnt invest too terribly much into them. They are made for fun and should be used that way. Chances are that they were used that way before you bought them. Mine was abused!
