1992 Subaru Legacy GXI review from Australia and New Zealand
"Unsurpassed reliability and quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cv boots have been replaced at service time.
General comments?
Almost unbelievable reliability and durability. Still on the original clutch/battery/radiator after 327,000 kms (202740 miles) and despite abuse on metal roads, snow and ice plus off road, it is using nil oil between changes @ 10,000 km intervals.
Was due for replacement in 1996 but with 100% reliability record (which is more than can be said for the new Audis, Fords and Vauxhalls at work!) and a high quality paint finish, it is pointless replacing an asset that will not depreciate any further and still drives exceedingly well with outstanding grip and handling in all conditions.
Recommended Reviews:
![]() ![]() | Be more reliable if fixed properly |
![]() ![]() | Great on gravel and good engine, but higher than average running costs |
