1989 Subaru Brumby 89 equippe review from Australia and New Zealand
"An absolutely honest little gem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced CV joints once.
Slight oil leak from selector shaft in gearbox.
Cat converter replaced at 300000.
Passenger seat is wearing.
General comments?
The best car I have ever owned, this baby goes all day without missing a beat.
The only mechanical repairs needed can be considered wear and tear.
Loves running in the cold weather.
But can get uncomfortable on long trips.
