1990 Isuzu Impulse XS Test Drive

If you liked modern hardware but were on a tight budget, Isuzu’s Impulse was your best buy. It was available with a turbocharged four cylinder engine that made 160 hp and accelerated briskly. Power could be dispatched to all four wheels, just as in the slick Mitsubishi eclipse GSX/Eagle Talon twins. But the Impulse was nearly $2k less expensive. It was noisier and a bit slower, but just as fun.
