1992 Isuzu Amigo 2WD: the full review

The 1992 Amigo 2WD has rear-wheel drive and a five-speed manual, with a 2.6 L four-cylinder engine. Its official combined rating is 16 MPG, and its listed annual fuel cost is $4,200.

Overview

The 1992 Isuzu Amigo 2WD is a gasoline-powered special-purpose vehicle with rear-wheel drive and a 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Its official EPA fuel economy is 15 mpg in city driving and 18 mpg on the highway, for a combined rating of 16 mpg. The EPA estimate for annual fuel cost is $4,200, and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions are listed at 555.44 grams per mile.

Those figures make fuel use a central consideration for anyone comparing the Amigo with other vehicles. The combined rating is lower than either of its individual city and highway figures, reflecting the mix represented by the combined measure. Actual fuel spending depends on use and fuel prices, but the stated annual estimate offers a point of comparison on the same EPA basis.

Pricing

No purchase price is provided for the 1992 Amigo 2WD, so its upfront cost cannot be assessed here. The listed $4,200 annual fuel cost is an EPA estimate, not a purchase price or a complete estimate of ownership expenses. It should be considered separately from maintenance, insurance, repairs, and other costs, for which no figures are available.

Who it's for

The Amigo 2WD may suit a buyer who wants a rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a manual transmission and is comfortable factoring relatively low stated fuel economy into ownership decisions. Its 16 mpg combined rating and $4,200 EPA annual fuel-cost estimate deserve particular attention for frequent driving or a budget sensitive to fuel use. A buyer who prioritizes fuel economy would need to compare those figures against other candidates before deciding.
