PennSilverTaco's non-Toyota Japanese (and Korean) vehicle Rant/Rave MegaThread!

My aunt and uncle had a 1993 Mitsubishi Diamante that they bought new and owned for maybe a decade; My uncle says the Diamante had R-12 Freon, so I was a bit surprised when I popped the hood of the gray 1993 Pajero and saw that it had R134a...

Brooo that thing is sick. You should do it. When I lived in New Zealand I had a LH '92 samurai and it was super easy to get used to shifting on the "wrong side," took me a day to have it down. Driving on the left side of the road however took a few extra days lol. Also have driven a buddy's LH FJ40 around California and it becomes pretty natural sitting on the wrong side after a while.

 

Then I'd have to sell the Tacoma, and the Tacoma's not only paid for, but has a new frame! If I sold the Tacoma, I could actually afford one of the Samurais they had on the lot!

 

Originally part of a thread called Suzuki Rant/Rave Thread...

After my impulsive visit to Selden Motors in Willow Grove, and having amassed enough Suzuki photos over the years to justify it, I finally decided to start a Suzuki thread!

Interior pics!

 

Would definitely be an adjustment period.

 

Haha true, and a samurai or pajaro would struggle as a daily driver/only vehicle. If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of this dealership? Looks like they have some amazing imports.

 

@coopnugz

Every Jimny/Samurai on the lot had A/C, including this black one!

 

Selden Motors in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania; I just tagged you in my new Suzuki thread!

 

A lot of the import/JDM/grey market vehicles on the lot had stickers on the windshield saying that the odometers had been certified or something; I have no idea if this means they were converted over to MPH from kilometers...?

 

The best security system in America!

 

Is there a Doug Demuro episode on one of these? Or at the very least a cars and bids segment ; )

 

How good! They have something for everyone

 

Yes, I know how to drive stick; My uncle taught me in his 1991 Toyota pickup when I was 25! As someone with autism and a driver's license, I represent only 50% of people with autism. So yes, I know to drive a stick shift, and I am very proud of this...

The white 1980s FJ60 Land Cruiser that I sat in at this same dealer had a very heavy clutch in my option, heavier and less forgiving than anything I've ever driven; However, the clutch in this little black Suzuki felt just right!

 

That was sitting behind the white 1995 Subaru Sambar I saw at this dealer! I would not buy one of these; I would go one step further and buy a Mitsubishi Delica half-cab!
