1991 Subaru Fiori M80 review from Australia and New Zealand
"The second car the fuel company's love to hate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The previous owner didn't wash the battery support and it rusted through, but my brother is a panel beater so he replaced it for me.
When I bought the car the points were shot. So I replaced them and I have put a new fuel sender unit in too.
General comments?
I have owned a Sherpa, which suffered from rust and she died.
But now I have my Fiori now and I love this little car. She uses 5 litres or less per hundred, she runs Castrol Magnatec 10w 30 and gets serviced every 5000 km. I can only get 104km/h out it and am going to put 13 inch by 165 by 80 on her to get even better fuel economy.
