1993 Subaru SVX LSi review from North America
"Remarkable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the battery die while I was at work for no apparent reason, and have also broken an axle.
Otherwise just stuff that needs to be replaced with age.
General comments?
I love the car. There is almost nothing more entertaining than having a kid with a Civic pull up next to you and try and race. For the most part if the driver knows what they are doing and/or the car is seriously that built, I can leave them in the dust.
When it isn't racing around, it is also just a very nice car to drive normally. It gets a lot of looks at stop lights. This car really attracts attention.
It might not be the fastest car, or the best looking car, or the most comfortable car on the road, but the SVX definitely gets the job done.
The only down side to the car is if something breaks it is expensive to fix.
