1979 Subaru Leone DL review from Australia and New Zealand
"An absolute dream first car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 pistons needed replacing.
Clutch was replaced for a learning driver.
Major rust problem in the drivers side door.
General comments?
I love my Subaru Leone. The engine, even though it's done 189500 k's still has a lust for life and the car runs superbly.
