Coolest little 4X4
John Curylo, 03/21/2008
1990 Suzuki Samurai JL 2dr SUV 4WD
I got my Samurai for an even trade of a 96 Taurus. The Taurus was more powerful, plush and comfortable. But I definitely made the right decision. My Samurai has personality, easy to work on and definitely fits me personally. I love the look, style of this vehicle, I just love driving this vehicle.
