Newbie here and Sammy owner with his two cents ...
I'm a little guy and do think a Sammy might be a tad scrunchy for someone over 6ft.
That aside, although NOT an auto expert I did luck into an 86 Tin Top Sammy about a year ago and then followed up with a gnarly accident. What impressed me is and was:
- I didn't die
- The vehicle was salvageable in a way that truly demonstrated to me why many people like to tinker with these cars.
I used to have a Pathfinder but left it at stock. I miss it dearly. My Sammy is now a bit of a "Frankenstein" but runs and looks fine.
