1994 Subaru Brumby review from Australia and New Zealand
"Forever replacing parts, need a lot of TLC"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I start?...
* Replaced C.V.axels 4 times.
* Replaced rear universal joint twice.
* Replaced steering column & steering rack.
* All wheel bearings replaced, some more than others.
* Rear shock absorbers replaced.
* Surface rust in tray.
* C.V. boots forever being replaced.
* Gearbox sloppy.
* Clutch replaced twice.
General comments?
* Other than that, it gets me around still.
* 4WD very handy, go any where handles most situations.
* Unreal fuel consumption.
* Seats not very comfortable.
* Good low end torque.
* Clutch to light.
