1996 Subaru Vivio GLi review from Singapore

"Good, petrol saving and economical car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had to replace the battery soon after I bought the car from the 2nd hand dealer.

Rear suspension is getting squeaky at about 84000.

Metal of the body is very soft, resulting in many dents by inconsiderate drivers when parked.

Noisy when driving at higher speeds (cannot hear each other talk).

Small interior - cannot fit my mountain bike in with one wheel off.

Not much performance in first and second gear, but once you shift to third gear, that is when you start to pull away from the crowd.

General comments?

Body rolls due to soft suspension.

Interior sparse, without any tachometer.

Hits hard bumps on the road quite hard, as it is a small car.

Very light, so when I am stopped at the traffic light waiting to turn and other vehicles go past, the car tends to sway lightly.
