1990 Subaru Justy review from North America
"Great car at a great price, awesome on gas"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes are going. I kind of don't want to fix them, but I will have to before winter.
Small oil leak on the engine. Tends to smell burning oil every know and then.
The dummy door locks are starting to go.
Some other minor things have also gone wrong.
General comments?
The seats are very uncomfortable on long trips. I can't stand to be in them for more than an hour at a time.
It revs really high down the highway.
I put a stereo in it and have still yet to find the memory wire. The trunk is too small for my subs and it also lacks space for additional speakers. The stock speakers are also very difficult to gt at.
The thing that tends to be the most annoying is the dummy locks. Especially with other people and the passenger door.
Overall it is a great car. These few things can be ignored easily.
