1986 Subaru GL review from Norway
"A small, reliable wagon, that takes you up the hills in the snow!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. Everything seems OK.
General comments?
Still going strong after 15 years on snowy Norwegian roads.
Some rust, but the mechanics are good.
Everything works well. The car has few options. There's only power steering, power locks and a tilt steering wheel.
But here in Norway, the 1800 wagon came with a high roof. This really provides better "usefulness" for this small wagon.
