1989 Subaru Brumby MV review from Australia and New Zealand
"An ever lasting companion"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gear box had an oil leak where the gear stick went in and the gear stick was loose.
The paint was a bit flaky and there was a little bit of surface rust.
The universal joints came loose and needed replacing after a rough ride on the beach.
General comments?
My brumby is my mate and will scare me sometimes, but will always be there for me.
It now as a mean looking coat of black paint and has no more rust.
There is a new improved sound system which gives it true character.
Once new tires are put on and a wheel alignment is done it handles like a new Impresa.
