The Suzuki X-90: Good Things are sometimes U-G-L-Y


Let's get this out of the way first: The Suzuki X-90, made from 1995-1997, has been widely criticized for being UGLY. Even the ads asked "What are you staring at?" The X-90 had an 86 inch wheelbase (3 inches shorter than a Miata of the time) and a targa top. It was, in a nutshell, not quite an SUV, not quite a convertible. And it was microscopic.

Owners generally like their X-90s, as a "fun" vehicle or second or third car. It has formidable off road prowess, especially for a vehicle packing just 95 horsepower, and is generally reliable. Think of it as an ugly Jeep.
