Made by Suzuki. Three cylinder, turbo charged, fuel injected and intercooled. Five speed, 12 inch wheels and 74 screaming horsepower. One liter (actually 998cc) of fury. Had a blast in ours. My wife used to drive it when we were in Pittsburgh. Great for blasting through traffic. Got about 40-45 mpg on the freeway. Not the most comfortable for road trips.
Bought it for $1000 in 1993. Drove it until 1997 when I traded it for some repair work/parts on the SVX that would have cost us about $700.
Still miss that car.

It's always a pleasant flashback for me to remember some of these little cars that were a blast to drive in tight situations. I met a girl in Germany back in '66 who had a Fiat 770 (770CC) that could corner like mad, make a lot of neat noises between shifts, & would probably strain to hit 70MPH. But it was really "pizzaz" compared to the VW beetles that surrounded it in that era. Due to my love for that little car, I bought a Fiat 850 Coupe and also married the girl.
I miss both of them.
