1985 Subaru Leone DL Sedan 1.6

Summary:

Reliable and strong

Faults:

At the beginning, the carburetor had to be fixed, because the gas cable broke. This happened in January of 2003.

In March I changed the tyres from 165-13 to 175-70-13, and I had a 20000 km service.

Also in March, I changed the gearbox oil. This one is 20w's thinner so it shifts better.

In June, my right front brake was broken; a tiny stone had slipped into the mechanism.

In August, my tailpipe was leaking; it was a very sporty sound.

And in November, my right rear shock absorber was leaking. I replaced them for 2 brand new Koni's (at least 50% more comfort).

General Comments:

I actually love two things; my girl and my car. Of course I can't decide which is better.

And the off road skills are very impressive for a two wheel drive car.

I like the handling of the car; it's very quick!!!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
