Suzuki SX4 Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Suzuki SX4 Not an SX4 at all but an X-90 1996

Pamela is a pig! Pamela is a 10 year old Suzuki X-90, not many of these girls about and for good reason too, they are awful. Actually, the pigginess is outweighed by the quirkiness and for that I actually do love her. Her roof comes out for the sunny days and the ride is instantly transformed into one of fun fun fun! Her engine is a real trier, 1600 and quite nippy, the manual gearbox quite positive but the suspension came off a Silver Cross pram and the (sometimes frightening) cornering ability - did I say ’ability’? - from a bath chair, or perhaps I should slow down a bit. Her 4WD capability is fine for what she is, I wouldn’t take her mountaineering but to get me to the stables and across muddy fields - perfect! Pamela turns heads wherever she goes; some in sheer amazement at the sight of such a strange car, she’s not the prettiest 2 seater on the block, but then again she always gathers a crowd (ok, one or two) of admirers. Comments fly with ’I’ve never seen a car like that before, what is it?’ and ’I bet you won’t get stuck in the snow in that smashing little car, love’. She’s a little red bomb shell and loves to go topless whenever she can! Her bottom is huge, behind that hides her boot, even with the spare wheel in there, there is plenty of shopping bag room. What more could a girl want? admiring glances, speedy mover, 4wd for the tricky times, a huge boot and the chance to go topless at the drop of a hat! ...and the name ’Pamela’?.... it was the name given to her by her previous owner, a fabulous drag queen with a name I couldn’t possible put into print!
