The 91 and earlier had the very rare, and coveted "Dish Dash" (but no 16 Valve):

I like these, I was going to swap one into my 92 last year.....

[Are you saying that the SPORT model is the best out of all of them?}

I'm not saying it is the best choice for everyone.  If you want to modify it significantly, it is probably not a good choice because of the lack of aftermarket support.  I have not heard any negative reports about engine reliability.  The gas mileage is at least as good as the smaller engines--I got 33 mpg on a trip to Colorado last month.  If I had known about the lack of aftermarket support when I bought it, I probably would have gotten it anyway because I didn't plan to modify it.  However, I imagine the wider frame spacing will make it easier to put a later model engine in it somewhere down the road.

I love my dish dash.  Very useful.

That's the ONE REASON I still wish I had my 91 4-door.  But you can keep the 8-valve engine!

EDIT:  And I have had over the years:

1991 4 Door JX - traded on a 95
1992 4 Door JX - traded on a 95
1995 4 Door JLX (My wife's - traded on a 99 Grand Vitara)
1995 4 Door JLX - my daily driver - 172,500 miles and going strong
1995 2 Door JX - The Gnewt - Trail Rig - 132,000 Miles, going strong
1999 Grand Vitara - 135,000 miles and still running strong.

I LIKE these things!

 Like a plain burger (cheese & ketchup only) or a double bacon (all the fix'ins)

Sorry about the comparision but it's all I could come up with,

 Basic model= nothing but power brakes

 Lsi model = power steering,power windows, power locks (you get the picture)

 Thinking harder now, it's like Porsche and Volkswagen they come from the same place but one has way more appeal than the other (I won't ask your preferance some people are crazy ;D ;D)

   Mine doesn't have power locks or windows either.  Might have started those luxuries in '96.  In '95 I think it only meant graphics on the seats and exterior, body colored bumpers, and split rear seats.  Least, that's all I can think of.

LSi had completly different interior it had all the metal inside of the truck covered with plastic trim {not the vinyl covered cardboard like the base} also it had mor comfortable seats with adjustable headrests like the (Sidekick JLX)

p.s. my 92 non LSi has pwr steering and AC whilst my 90 LSi didnt
