1988 Subaru Wagon GL Turbo review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Most problems have been due to neglect (I ride motorcycles most of the time). Battery has gone dead from sitting too long, exhaust system rusted out.
General comments?
Not terribly exciting to drive, but as reliable a car as I've ever owned. Best "foul-weather" vehicle I've ever owned as well.
