Coolest little 4X4

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.

You won't find any other car that
stands close to Samurai's reliability.
My vehicle has 130,000 miles and it
runs like new. I'm planning to keep
this vehicle forever!
