1985 Subaru GL review from North America
"Good, cheap reliable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oil Pan gasket leak that came with the car, however she never is down any oil when checked.
Rust on back hatch, will be replaced when I can find a donor car.
A/C compressor keeps going out, may have electrical short.
General comments?
It's not the fastest car on the road, but can keep up with traffic. Not pretty to look at, but always starts up on the first twist of the key and has never let me down..
