Thinking of buying the 1990 Isuzu Impulse?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1990 Isuzu Impulse; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 1990 Isuzu Impulse in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Impulse
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 27 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 9.0 L/100 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $13.95 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
A good match for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Size and space
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA lists 311 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent the Impulse for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Impulse answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.95 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting.

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
