1980 Subaru 1800 review from Australia and New Zealand
"A cheap reliable car that has years left"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 9 years the first thing to do in thecar was the springs, but even though they have collapsed it only makes the ride uncomfortable it still handles great.
The next was the CV joints.
And the exhaust has developed a small crack at the headers.
General comments?
The car handles great for no power steering and brakes.
The petrol even with high prices only takes me thirty bucks to fill and with all the driving I do it's a life saver.
Parts are also cheap, but a little difficult to find, but worth it for the price.
Petrol and a charged battery it will start almost first go every time.
