1990 Isuzu Impulse Reviews, Pricing & Specs








What owners say
"Overall, drivers have mixed feelings about the 1990 Isuzu Impulse. Many praised its design, especially the sporty appearance crafted by Giorgetto Giugiaro, and appreciated its handling thanks to the Lotus racing suspension. However, several noted that the car felt like a collection of different parts from Isuzu, which affected its overall performance negatively. Some owners also mentioned the car’s cost in repairs, particularly in upgrading it to racing standards."
the nice thing about the impulse is the lotus racing suspension with dual sway links on the front and rear. this allows to handle at high speeds quite impressivly. this car is worth taking a look at for sure, i got mine september 2009 and i have already spent $6000 on parts fixing the car up to racing standards again, new wheel bearings, gas racing suspension, high performance breaks and a full engine rebuild. let me tell you for the price i'm kicking butt on the drag strip.
December 29, 2009My first car The model year is wrong. Mine was 1985, but Car IQ only lets me select from 1990 to 1992 model years for Impulse. Also, my Impulse's color was silve. Known in Japan as Isuzu Piazza, it had great design by Giorgetto Giugiaro, but the rest of the car was patch work from stock Isuzu parts bins and handling was not very impressive. I read somewhere long time ago that Giugiaro initially tried to sell the design that later became Impulse to VW as the next geration Scirocco (which makes sense since he also designed the first Scirocco) but VW did not take it and then ended up at Isuzu. Impulse definitely had resemblance to Scirocco.
