I was just thinking about how I used to have and buy mostly Chevys then bought a 91 Geo Prizm.
I learned about the dependablity of the 7a and other Toyotas. I think other people have been converted this way. smile.gif

I just want to add about the Isuzu Impulse, I can't believe that thing isn't more popular. I think it's because they didn't make very many. In 1987-89, it came in RWD format with the 1.8 turbo and a limitted slip rearend. Then in 1990, it went to AWD format with the 155hp 1.8 turbo. Limited numbers is the only reason I see these things not being popular.

It's an Isuzu... that's why. Ever tried to diagnose problems with those things? That's another reason.

Mine really wasn't that bad. It was harder to work on than the Celica just cause it seemed like they put no thought into the position of things on the motor, you couldn't reach things. You can't say they weren't reliable. Mine was 200k when I got rid of it, and I ran the crap out of that car. What is so bad about it just being Isuzu?
