1984 Subaru 1800 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great car, ahead of its time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fusible link blew, and I don't know how to make a new one.
General comments?
Toughest car I've ever owned, this was my first car 1984 Subaru 1800 Touring Wagon, LCD display with a trip computer, power windows, power steering, 4WD (H&L) FWD, bull bar and tow bar.
A car that can't be stopped and was ahead of its time.
Controls are easy to use.
We used this car for 9 hour trips every weekend for almost 5 years, and never had problems.
